2012 Audi S5 Balances Performance with Progressive Luxury Mirroring the Lifestyle of its Customers & Admirers




HERNDON, Va., September 1, 2011 — The 2012 Audi S5 Coupe and Cabriolet have attracted many new customers to the Audi brand through their iconic design and dynamic character. The S5 balances performance with progressive luxury mirroring the lifestyle of its customers and admirers.
The S5 Cabriolet is powered by a 3.0 liter V6 TFSI® direct injection engine with the Audi valvelift system that delivers 333 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque to the quattro® permanent all- wheel drive configuration. Shifting is handled by a seven-speed dual clutch S tronic® transmission. The Coupe offers a 4.2 liter FSI® V8 engine, also with the Audi valvelift system, which can be mated to either a manual or available Tiptronic® transmission. Both work in concert to deliver a significant competitive advantage – more power aluminum head benefiting efficiency and handling performance through lighter weight. The S5 boasts a remarkable combination of performance and handling. Audi designers have ensured noticeable differentiation for the S5 while remaining understated. With unique front and rear bumpers, side skirts, fender badging and door sills, plus anodized aluminum windshield frame, the S5 is unmistakable design with very strong performance characteristics.

The interior boasts shift paddles mounted on the three-spoke steering wheel, red ambient LED lighting, aluminum door sill inlays with the distinctive S5 emblems, and, in the Cabriolet, a comprehensive storage concept for stowing the fold-away roof that maximizes trunk space. Fine Milano leather seating surfaces and trim provide an inviting warmth to the interior, which also features availability of the best in Audi entertainment and driver-assistance technology such as Audi MMI® Navigation plus featuring a seven- inch display screen or Audi MMI Radio plus.
Safety always is a highlight with Audi, and the S5 is no exception. Vehicle occupants are surrounded by a full complement of airbags for protection in the event of a collision. The body of the S5 is constructed using reinforced high strength steel and aluminum cross members, reinforced bumpers and a rigid occupant cell, helping provide both protection and enhanced performance characteristics.
