Audi S5 - Sneak Peek

[Decksurgeon]

Fascination no figures can express

 

The mighty eight-cylinder engine in the new Audi S5 is closely related to the high-revving mid-mounted engine of the new Audi R8 sports car. To suitably match the character of the grand tourer, in the S5 it develops 260 kW (354 bhp) at 7,000 rpm. This is combined with an extremely flat torque curve: the maximum torque of 440 Nm is already available from 3,500 rpm. But more importantly, at only 2,000 rpm drivers already have 85 percent of the full torque at their disposal. The effect is sheer exhilaration: no matter at what engine speed the driver presses the accelerator, the A5 charges forward with breathtaking pace.

 

Back to the figures: sprinting from stationary the S5 reaches the 100 km/h mark in 5.1 seconds, and in just 19.1 seconds it breaks through the 200 km/h barrier. As a matter of form, we should note that the top speed is governed to 250 km/h. However, no measurement can truly convey the outstanding free-revving character, the instant response, the continuous power build-up or the thrilling sound of the eight-cylinder engine.

 

High-performance in a compact form
