Though you might think otherwise, it really is the new.
It was a party tonight in Ingolstadt. There was the new Audi A5 revealed. The first coupe, which was designed by Walter De Silva (his best designs check out HERE), I have a new jacket. But, they thought at Audi, we must there is not too much to change, will soon be hunting we might be customers. And so it came to pass. The two generations seem so much alike, that several experts had difficulties to tell them apart.
Engines
In terms of engines we can choose from three case of various petrol types, and two diesels. Going from 190 hp up to 286 hp, which is a lot more than the old models. But they are up to 22% more fuel-efficient. The icing on the cake is the S5, which is 354 horsepower out of its 3.0 V6, 21 more than the old model (driving test). From 0 to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds. He is also a lot lighter, has a longer wheelbase and therefore more space for both the driver and the passengers. The A5 can also be fitted with the Virtual Cockpit, that is to say, all via screens.
Powertrain
The six-speed manual and seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch are available for the viercilindermotoren as well as the 218 bhp 3.0 TDI with front – or all-wheel drive. The eight speed tiptronic is available only for the strongest dieseluitvoering with 286 hp and the Audi S5. Both motors are supplied as standard in combination with quattro all-wheel drive. The new quattro all-wheel drive with ultra-technology is first available for this model. It can currently be combined with the four-cylinder TFSI and TDI engines with manual gearbox. Furthermore, Audi at extra cost also the sportdifferentieel for the rear axle.
Cabrio and Sportback
The A5 is there now only as a coupe, but he’s undoubtedly as a five-door sportback and cabriolet. When that will happen is not yet known. What is also not yet made known, is when he is on the market. And for the price it is for the moment also still just guessing.
UPDATE 1: Enneh, on the autoblog editorial staff, we found that the old and the new model is so similar, that we for the joke, decided to make a gallery of the old model. Kuddo’s for the people who immediately understand;) But the fun is over, this is really the new!
