Ingolstadt has finally started making some driver-focused cars and the S5 could be the next to wow enthusiasts. It will be powered by the company's 4.2-litre V8 mounted up front, driving all four wheels through Audi's quattro system for peerless traction.

The interior shot on the next page makes clear there's a six-speed manual gearbox on offer, and the redline is pegged to a pleasingly high 7000rpm. Power is put at 340bhp, so expect a 0-60mph dash in less than 6.0sec.

Let's just hope it's as good going around corners as it is at hammering along the straights... 3 of 4


Your welcome!

I don't think 0-60 in under 6.0 seconds will cut it....it has to be at least 5.3 seconds so it could compete with the 335i. I think the power will most likely be higher than 340bhpp...more like 350-360 hp.
