Audi: Convertible S5 with 354 turbo horsepower and all-wheel drive
With the premiere of the Audi A5 Cabrio, the new-generation A5 family is complete. In the Audi S5 Cabrio, a new 6-cylinder turbo engine with 354 hp and 500 Newton meters ensures brisk sprints.

The front is dominated by a three-dimensionally shaped single-frame grille, which is significantly flatter and wider than before. The bold curves above the wheel arches emphasize the quattro genes. Horizontal lines at the rear emphasize the width of the Audi A5 Cabrio. The wide track and the long wheelbase of 2,765 millimetres are the basis for the sporty, balanced chassis set-up. The body is the stiffest in the competition and yet is one of the lightest in the segment.
Wide range of engines and transmission variants
The new Audi A5 Cabrio will initially be available in Switzerland with a choice of three engines - a 2.0 TFSI with 252 hp, a 2.0 TDI with 190 hp and a 3.0 TDI with 218 hp. A 2.0 TFSI with 190 hp and a 3.0 TDI with 286 hp will follow after the market launch. A 6-speed manual gearbox, a 7-speed S tronic dual-clutch gearbox or an eight-speed tiptronic are available depending on the engine. Drive is via the front wheels as standard, with quattro drive available as an option.
