Audi India to Launch S5 Sportback in Mid-2015 - GTspirit
The S5 will slot between the S4 and the S6. It is the second version of the A5 to be launched in India- the first being the RS5 Coupe, and will join the A7 and RS7 as the representatives of Audi India’s ‘Sportback’ line. Audi’s ‘S’ range of cars consists of those that fall in the category between the regular sedans and the more aggressive and powerful RS versions. The Audi S5 features a 3. 0 liter supercharged V6 TFSI petrol engine that produces 328 hp. The car propels from zero to 100 km/h in just 5. 1 seconds and the engine is mated to a 7-Speed S tronic automatic transmission. It is the same engine that powers the S4. The older S5 got a naturally aspirated V8 engine but owing to fuel norms, V6 has been used for the updated model. The S5 is All-Wheel Drive (AWD) car with Audi’s Quattro system installed in it. Unlike the RS5, which looks like a beast on the roads, S5 has a more subtle and elegant look to it. It’s individual identity stands out. From the side, it looks like a shorter version of the A7. The large hexagonal grille, 18-inch alloy wheels and DRL’s around the edge of the headlamps add a dynamic look to the car. It will be added to the ‘niche’ category of Audi’s portfolio in India. Style-conscious buyer looking for a powerful performance car for daily use will look to buy. Source: gtspirit.com
