BEAUTIFULLEST AUDI A5?

20 July : Described as the most beautiful Audi. What else is there to it?

Walter da Silva, head of design at Volkswagen Group, says the Audi A5 is the most beautiful car he has ever designed. Is it the most beautiful Audi ever though? You judge for yourself. Meanwhile, read all about what this two-door coupe with funny lights is all about.

Audi is proud to present a competitive new model series for its entry into a highly emotionally charged segment of the market: the A5 successfully unites the acclaimed Audi design language and thrilling dynamic driving performance, and combines generous refinement with the brand’s characteristic quality and sophistication. Its progressive design gives the new coupé an appearance that is both elegant and dynamic. With its FSI and TDI engines, its entirely newly developed high-precision running gear, and a raft of innovative, luxury-class equipment, the Audi A5 has been crafted to be a modern grand tourer, a touring coupé in the best tradition.

The Nuvolari quattro concept car of 2003 gave a first taste of Audi’s vision for a powerful and expertly styled coupé with a high performance potential and a progressive, sophisticated design. Many elements from the Nuvolari have been adopted in the Audi A5. The new coupé is a clear and unique statement of sportiness and elegance. At the same time, the A5 offers a driving experience characterised by exhilarating dynamic performance and excellent comfort over long distances.

With a length of 4.63 m, the Audi A5 clearly belongs to a superior class of coupé. Four comfortable seats and a load volume of 455 litres make this car a comfortable long-distance tourer. The dynamic performance is supplied by FSI and TDI engines with rated power ranging from 155 to 260kW. All engines share highly eco-friendly and efficient characteristics.
The engines’ power can be transmitted by either front-wheel drive or quattro four-wheel drive and a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox. The running gear developed for the A5 is entirely new and combines agile handling with the utmost driving safety.
