2017 Audi S5 Sportback
The more potent S5 Sportback
has now shown up at the warmer pastures in and around the Nurburgring.
Aside from the larger and sportier
wheels over the regular A5, the only other standout features on the S5 is quad
exhaust system and the slightly differentiated edges of the front spoiler.
Overall, when the car finally does come
out we do expect to see its 'S' kit in all its glory, as well as the LED front
& rear light with dynamic turn signal (Matrix LED headlights optional). On
top of that, the S5 should get all the driver assistance features it needs,
like the active lane assist, adaptive cruise control, park assist, cross
traffic assist, collision avoidance assist and turn assist.
Powertrain-wise, we're expecting the
same 3.0-liter turbocharged TFSI unit from the S4 & S4 Avant, which packs a
total of 354 PS and 500 Nm of torque. In a straight line,
performance should also be comparable to that of the S4, meaning a 0-100 km/h sprint time of about 4.7 seconds.
Whereas the current A5/S5 Sportback was
a forbidden fruit in North America, the second generation of the series will
head over to the States and Canada providing Audi with a liftback competitor to
BMW's 3-Series GT and 4-Series Grand Coupe.
