From Motor Trend. The S5 did 0-60 in 4.5 seconds with a 13.1 second quarter mile @ 105.2. Those are some very good numbers. It looks that the S5 does have some real performance as those numbers aren't far from the RS4.

That's some seriously quick numbers. While I am fully aware of the potential of the S5, those numbers seem a bit unrealistic. I would go with a 0-60 of 4.8 and a quarter mile of 13.6...... However, those MT numbers do inspire confidence!!! I cant wait to see some tests!!!

Yeah, not bad at all! So are S and M now converging - ability vs. feel?

Call me a dick but I think this guy who wrote this piece for Motortrend is wrong.


The row of spaceshippy LED daytime running lights under the headlamps (oh, sorry, you can't -- the Euro model in these pix doesn't have 'em.

:doh: Sorry mate but in Europe or the UK at least LED lights are standard fit. In fact it's standard on all A5 cars. :deal: You need to check your facts before going to print. And in any case the photo of the car's lights in the article look exactly the same as all UK A5 so unless my eyes are playing tricks it does has LED daytime running lights.

I think the back of the new S5 looks like the old M-B CLK.....

The back of the new S5 looks much better then M3! The lights and exhaust. It is amassing!
