Step 2

Powertrain

> A5 2.0 TFSI (and Q5) share impressive performance updates introduced with new A4

> S5 3.0 TFSI further develops rightsizing strategy w/ innovative direct injection and turbocharging concepts

> Core 3.0 TFSI updates:

> Central direct injectors

> Twin scroll turbocharger (replace supercharging)

> First Audi use of Miller cycle principle

2

> 2.0 TFSI is extremely agile performer: 252 HP, 273

lb-ft max torque @ 1,600-4,500 RPM and sprints

0-100 km/h in 5.8 seconds

> 3.0 TFSI offers high power, ample torque,

spontaneous response and a sonorous sound

> 3.0 TFSI: 354 HP, 369 lb-ft @ 1,370-4,500 RPM

and sprints 0-100 km/h in 4.7 seconds

Validating arguments

Hands-on A5 forumStep 1

Aerodynamics, aeroacoustics

> 0.29 coefficient of drag (best-in-class)

> Special joint seal on A5 Coupe doors to address frameless door challenge

> Optimized rear tailgate design an important part of the A5 Sportback aerodynamic improvement

1

> The ideal: eliminate wind noise from the cabin, Audi

engineers focus on best in class

> Athletic, sporty and elegant goes hand in hand with

sophisticated aerodynamics
