Looks like execs living in New Jersey will be happy with this one! Great work, Audi!
felipe @ Apr 5th 2007 10:51AM
so not an Audi fan, but that is a nice car.
look at all those dang controls down on the shift plate.

Did someone say rear end (tail-lights) resembles 2007 BMW E92?
Grant @ Apr 5th 2007 11:06AM
I really like this the look of this car. Creases and lines in all the right places, and the grill is worked well into the front. Beautiful car IMO.

325hp AND 4000lbs....... lame

What's the record number of entries for a particular intro?
I think this car will do well. It's actually surprising that Audi went without a compact coupe for so long. The Audi Coupe did pretty well back in the 1980s, but the price got too high and the performance was too slow, so it died after the 1991 MY.
I do wonder where this leaves the A4 Cab. Will it be phased out in favor of an A5 Cab? Certainly it doesn't make sense to offer both.

"Did someone say rear end (tail-lights) resembles 2007 BMW E92?"
Being that Audi brought this design to the Nuvolari concept back in 2003, which is the new A5/S5, It definately looks like BMW is stealing design cues from Audi. ;-)
check out these pic from 2003.

Hey oren, where does your girlfriend sit in one of those? not a problem i guess..
Ordered my A5 in UK already, bring on July!!
FLR @ Apr 5th 2007 11:39AM
The rear end reminds me of the BMW 335i.

The flaw in your argument is...they look exactly like the BMW's and only slightly like the Nuvolari's. ;-)

"The flaw in your argument is...they look exactly like the BMW's and only slightly like the Nuvolari's. ;-)"
First, they do not look exactly like the BMW, they are a variation of the current A4 and the Nuvolari. Second, this has been in the design language for Audi for a few years now, but when BMW brings it out for the first time on the 335i, everyone thinks BMW had it first. Come on now.

That's an amazing car. Excellent design! Should be a nice addition to the expanding Audi line-up.
S5 and a Q7 -- what a powerful luxurious combo
bgdc @ Apr 5th 2007 12:14PM
Why so little power? 324 hp?
jeff @ Apr 5th 2007 12:22PM
I saw the hood up on the tdi on the rear end pics so I was anticipating the shot of the oil burner. I click "Next Photo" as fast as I could and then was disappointed when an engine shot never materialized.
peter @ Apr 5th 2007 12:26PM
snor, snooze, weak, milktoast, lame, just plain boring. I am not a 'big wing' kind of STI fan, and i have never modded a stock car ever, but cars like this and the 335i both need a jump start, the looks are just DOA, no soul, not getting any desire to run out and buy it.
Now the new G37 on the other hand, sure it is not the refinement level of an Audi or Bimmer, but hands down it wins in looks, and has 330 HP to start with w/o turbo charging. Infiniti may just eat some German lunch in the US market this year.....

#5,
Hey #5,
Nice try, but the S5 weighs 3594lbs.
http://www.carfolio.com/specifications/models/car/?car=155089&automobile-Audi
That's 67 more than the 335 coupe.

5 photos of the 3.0 TDI backside and not one of anything else, like the engine? Hello?
Richard Warren @ Apr 5th 2007 2:56PM
Tasty!
ruggels @ Apr 5th 2007 2:59PM
The more I see the S5 in black on the freeway (irvine, twice now) the more I'm sure it's the best design I've seen on an audi since my ol' 1998 A4. It reminds me all at once of the current gen audis, the bmw 8 series, and a bit of bently in the c pillar etc. Is it bad, at 24, to lust for a car like this ? :P
On a side note, I'm glad Audi had their best sales month ever last month and that we've reached a point in their history where speculating a RS5 is coming down doesn't seem far fetched but is certain (remember the RS2 days, or even the first gen RS6?).
God I love this car :), can't wait to test drive the S5.
