2008 Audi A5 Arrives

The A5 extends the Audi range as a new model line, taking up the tradition of classic two-door sports and touring coupés. Priced at $91,900, the A5 3.2 FSI multitronic with sport program (7-speed continuously variable transmission) is the first A5 model to arrive, with additional engine variants to follow. All engines have high efficiency and eco-friendly characteristics in common and the diesel units already comply with the EU5 standard which will apply in future and, thanks to a range of technical innovations, their fuel consumption and CO2 values are impressively low.

The first to arrive, smooth and powerful 3.2 V6 engine offers a maximum of 195kW at 6,500rpm and 330Nm of torque from 3,000 - 5,000rpm. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.6 seconds. For the first time, a brand new key is a design feature of the A5 and S5 range. The key communicates electronically with the vehicle electrical system as soon as it is inserted into the cockpit and also stores important information, such as the car's current mileage or warning messages from the Audi A5's driver information system. The complete A5 range will be available by August 2008 and features powerful and economical FSI, TFSI and TDI engines, mated to a completely new high-precision running gear.
