Audi shines their spotlights on the new A5 and S5

Audi is celebrating the world premiere of the new A5 and S5 Coupé with a spectacular 3D light show at the company's headquarters in Ingolstadt. Both of these sophisticated cars demonstrate sporty elegance and deliver loads of high-tech features to customers. Designers have thoroughly revamped the appearance of the Audi A5 Coupé, and they are showcasing the refreshed, elegant and athletic two-door car in said stunning event. With a long hood and a low roof, coupled with lines that terminate at the short and perky rear end, the aggression in the silhouette is amplified. Adding to the fresh looks are the Matrix LED headlights adorning the front fascia. Its newly developed steering features a direct ratio, responds spontaneously and provides precise road feedback.  Engineers have boosted the performance of the new gasoline- and diesel-powered engines by 17 percent while also improving their fuel economy by almost a quarter. A six-speed manual transmission sends power to the front axle. Drivers can also choose to leave the selection of gears to the swift seven-speed dual clutch transmission or the equally proficient eight-speed torque-converter transmission, now available in the A5 for the first time. The optional quattro drive system can distribute power to all four wheels. The highest spec in the lineup is the new turbocharged V6 engine in the S5, which can deliver 354bhp to the crank, propelling the car to 100km/h from a standstill in just 4.7 seconds.
