Performance
quattro® with Available Sport Rear
Differential
Permanent all-wheel drive systems are not created equal. And they
certainly don't perform that way, either. quattro® is essentially a
mechanical system devised around a torque-sensing, self-locking, center
differential that shifts torque instantaneously to where it's needed.
This means quattro® is adjusting power between front and rear axles more
than 100 times a second, helping ensure torque is delivered to the
wheels where traction exists. Under normal driving situations, quattro®
distributes the power between each axle by sending 40 percent to the
front wheels and 60 percent to the rear wheels, enhancing the driving
dynamics while helping maintain optimum control. Constantly assessing
grip, quattro® ensures the best possible combination of traction and
handling, regardless of the road
conditions.
quattro® with Sport
Rear Differential additionally senses which rear wheel to deliver an
optimum level of torque. Specifically, it directs most of the power to
the outer rear wheel to help steer the car through the corner. This
reduces understeer, common among other all-wheel drive systems, and
creates the true sportscar handling found in an Audi. Not to mention, a 0
to 60 time of 4.9 seconds.
4.2 liter FSI® V8
Engine
The Audi 4.2
liter FSI® V8 produces a remarkable 354hp and 325 lb-ft. of torque, the
4.2 FSI incorporates many of the same fuelsaving technologies found in
the 2.0 TFSI, such as direct injection. The combined effect is an engine
that delivers leading power and fuel economy of up to 24 MPG highway.
The use of the lightweight material not only increases the overall
efficiency but also improves handling
dynamics.
FSI®
Direct Injection
Audi Fuel Stratified Injection, or FSI®, offers the benefits of
increased performance and fuel efficiency. FSI direct injection delivers
a precise amount of fuel directly into the engine cylinders as opposed
to the engine intake runners. This advanced process helps ensure a more
complete combustion, thereby diminishing waste and increasing
power.
Additionally, the
specially designed piston heads compress the fuel-air mixture in a
spiraling motion, creating the most efficient combustion possible.
Making the most of these technologies allows for greater efficiency in
the combustion process.
Exterior
Classic Coupe and R8 Design
Influences
The S5
continues not only the performance, but also the unmistakable design
cues of Audi legends of past and present. The original Coupe quattro®
lines are evident in the C pillar, while the R8 influence is seen in the
graceful wheel arches and shoulder line. The long hood and short rear
deck area are reminiscent of a classic Gran Turismo, updated with the
progressive and modern look only found in an
Audi.
Award-winning
Design
Designed by
Walter de'Silva, the S5 is a progressive coupe in every sense. A fact
not lost on AUTOMOBILE Magazine as the A5/S5 was named the 2009 "Design
of the Year." The contemporary design of the S5 is carried through with
trademark S model elements include S badging on the aluminum doorsills
and steering wheel, while the S specific bumpers feature the unique
front and rear splitters. Add Aluminum Optic side view mirrors and the
quad exhaust that delivers a note of obvious power, and the total
package personifies pure performance.
19" Alloy
Wheels
The
distinctive openness of the 5-parallel-spoke-Star-design wheels with
summer performance tires makes a sporty statement while enhancing the
overall aesthetic of the S5.
Trademark S Model

model elements include S badging on the aluminum doorsills, steering
wheel and gauge faces as well as S specific bumpers featuring exclusive
front and rear splitters.
Integrated Deck Lid
Spoiler
Subtle yet
distinguished, the artfully integrated rear spoiler accents the
vehicle's unmistakable appearance while assisting with airflow and
improving drag coefficient.
Quad
Exhaust
This
performance exhaust system features exclusive quad oval tailpipes which
create a rich exhaust note and leave no doubt to the power contained
under the hood of the S5.
Audi Singleframe® Grille and LED Daytime
Running Lights
The
Singleframe® grille gives the S5 an aggressive, unmistakably Audi look
while enhancing the overall aesthetic of the car. The grille is
bracketed by the signature LED daytime running lights, which add a
distinct look to the S5 while using half of the energy of conventional
bulbs.
Aluminum Optic Side View
Mirrors
Powerful
and efficient LED turn indicator lamps are artfully incorporated into
the exclusive Aluminum Optic mirror housing, complementing the modern
and fluid design of the vehicle.

Safety
Innovative Braking System with Brake
Assist
Audi has
implemented a number of ingenious features to help maximize braking
effectiveness. In wet conditions, the brake disc wiping system gently
pulses the brakes to help dissipate water buildup. Keeping the discs as
dry as possible helps promote the most effective braking. Additionally,
the brake assist system is able to detect an attempt at full braking and
apply full stopping power when required. The advantage is that braking
distance is significantly reduced.
ESC
Audi
has always held firm the belief that prevention is the best safety
feature of all. And the S5 Coupe offers an abundance of features
designed to help keep you out of harm's way. For instance, the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is a vehicle dynamics management
system that applies brakes to individual wheels to help make the vehicle
easier to control in adverse conditions. Helping to reduce the danger
of swerving and improving directional stability, the program identifies
the car's intended direction and responds
accordingly.
Audi side
assist
Active at
speeds over 19 MPH, available Audi side assist monitors blind spots and
fast-approaching vehicles at a range of 150 ft. When a vehicle is
present within the monitored area, the system warns you via LED lights
in the exterior mirrors.
Six Standard
Airbags
The six
standard, second-generation airbags provide an additional measure of
safety. They include front-impact airbags for the driver and passenger
and are designed to help protect the head. Seat-mounted, side-impact
airbags for the front seat occupants are designed to help protect the
thorax in a collision. And the side-curtain airbags offer front and rear
occupants head protection in the event of a side collision or
rollover.
