The Audi S5 is the spicy, performance-oriented companion to Audi’s A5 coupe and convertible. It’s also closely related to the S4 sport sedan.
Compared to the A5, the S5 offers stronger performance, sharper looks, and more exclusivity and tech features.
The look of the Audi S5 is by no means fresh. For the past five years or more, it’s been a design benchmark for luxury coupes, so it’s no surprise that many of its cues and themes have appeared in newer models. That’s however also a testament to how well the S5’s design works. It has classic rear-wheel-drive luxury-coupe proportions ( even though it’s all-wheel drive) , and the flowing, sculpted design is brought to its best ( but not over the top) with accent trim, some blacked-out details, and special available Black Optic 21-inch wheels.
