Audi A5

Audi A5 as a car first appeared in front of public in 2007 in the form of a mid-sized coupe, which impressed with the futuristic design courageous at that time. One year later Audi A5 Cabriolet was presented to the world, and in 2009 the production line was complemented with Audi A5 five-door hatchback. To date, Audi A5 model is represented not only in three variations of the body, but also in the "charged" S5 and RS5 versions.
The new coupe from Audi is designed in the Italian style. German automakers encroached on the sacred for the inhabitants of Apennine peninsula - they created a coupe category of Gran Turismo. That is the car for comfortable travel over long distances.
The Bavarian novelties of Audi A5 and Audi S5 were created under the leadership of the designer Walther de Silva. You must admit that the instant unity with the car does not happen always, it can be even said – very rare. Even it happens that the contact with the car is not established at all. This, of course, the easiest way to blame the developers. Because they are well aware of all the shortcomings of the car, trying to present his creation with the best hand (which, in general, it is predictable). They exclude difficult sites from test routes, replace a reality with pathos. That's an abundance of tourist icons at the presentation of Audi A5 / S5, very alarming.
Externally Audi A5 and S5 are almost indiscernible. And inside the S5 salon, with the exception of more relief chairs of scarlet leather and the classical lever of a manual transmission, still reigns that same German boredom which is especially unpleasant – aggravated with frankly cheap plastic in the lower part of salon. It is like to offer to wear sneakers with the strong suits.
Now let's speak a little bit about the characteristics of Audi A5. Junior petrol engine has a capacity of 1.8 liters and is able to reach up to 170 hp with 320 Nm of torque. The average niche of petrol engines of Audi A5 is occupied by the two-liter unit with a capacity of 211 hp and the maximum torque of 350 Nanometers. The most powerful engine can develop up to 272 hp and has a working volume of 3.0 liters. The torque peak in this case will be 400 Nanometers. The only diesel is presented a three-liter turbocharged unit with a capacity of 245 hp, which reaches at 500 Nanometers of a torque. For the production line of A5 Audi three types of transmissions are provided: 6-step "mechanics", the stepless variator "Multitronic" and the 7-step automatic "S-tronic" with dual-cluth used in the "charged" sports lineup of Audi S5. It should be noted immediately that the transmission S-tronic is not aggregated with the younger petrol engine, the variator "Multitronic" is applied only with petrol engines of 1.8 and 2.0 liter, and the turbodiesel is equipped only with the S tronic transmission.
Audi A5 Coupe and Audi A5 Sportback can be fitted with all of the above indicated engines, while the maximum speed depending on the engine varies in the range of 220-250 km / h and average fuel consumption is about 5.9 - 7.0 liters per 100 kilometers in the mixed mode of motion. For Audi A5 Cabriolet only two petrol engines are offered: 1.8 liters and 2.0 liters.
