Jarod.

...I just wanted to ask that.

Is that 100% sure...? If it is, I presume that coupe will recieve it to...?

[JavierNuvolari]

Looks amazing, MUCH better than a 3 series convertible. GOOD JOB!!!

[ZeroCool]

led taillights just like the S4 :) that's great...

[RXBG]

V6T- just *confirmed* :)

expect the A5 cabrio to debut with the A6's new 290 hp engine. A4 3.2 engine replacement soon to follow....

can anyone double confirm? :D

[KresoF1]

Some of your "confirmed info" is not accurate. Sorry!

[RXBG]

Some of your "confirmed info" is not accurate. Sorry!


well then unconfirm it from what your sources say! that's the whole point of this thread. ;)

[The Pretender]

i would be surprised if the S5 Cabrio will have a V8 instead of the 333 hp 3.0TFSI V6 supercharged engine.

Jarod.

[tvrfan]

whats with the coupe???? will it get the 3.0 TFSI engine too after the cabrio? or is this engine just for the A5/S5 cabrio?

[KresoF1]

i would be surprised if the S5 Cabrio will have a V8 instead of the 333 hp 3.0TFSI V6 supercharged engine.

Jarod.

Good observation...

[HKS786]

Good observation...

What have you heard about the V6 in the S5?

Also, Autocar say the new V6 is 20kg lighter, can you confirm that figure?

[The Pretender]

What have you heard about the V6 in the S5?

Also, Autocar say the new V6 is 20kg lighter, can you confirm that figure?
The 3.0 V6 TFSI supercharged engine weigh 180+ Kg, the 4.2 V8 200+ Kg if i remember correctly.

Jarod.

[KresoF1]

What have you heard about the V6 in the S5?

Also, Autocar say the new V6 is 20kg lighter, can you confirm that figure?

Hmm... 333ps engine should be in new S5 Cabrio.

Regarding weight... Look at current S5 weight... New S4 sedan is heavier...
According to my info new V6 is less then 20kg lighter then 4.2 V8 in current S5.

[Leadfoot]

It is 20kgs lighter when you include all of the fluids. But that not the important stuff, when is this engine coming to the S5 and when is S/Tronic and Quattro3 getting included.

[RXBG]

from another thread- i believe MY 2010, whose production starts rather early in CY 2009. likely will coincide with the boosted MY 2010 version of the 335i- ~330 hp.

[tvrfan]

that means the S5 will get the 3.0TFSI engine with 333hp too, and the 4.2l would be replaced by this engine? it would be better when they bring out the engine with a facelift. that would be wiser. will the S5 get the quattro 3 (sportdiff) too?

[tobitoooo]

Hi all,

I can´t confirm that the V6T comes with the new S5 Convertible.:doh:
At the beginning there won´t be new engines for the A5/S5 Convertible. It comes with the 2.0T, 3.2 FSI and the V8 4.2 for the S5.Also the Diesel-Engines are the same: 2.0 TDI and 3.0 TDI.
Perhaps there will be a change later on with a facelift but not at the begining.
The S5 V8 also comes with the brand new 7-Shift S-Tronic designed by Volkswagen in Kassel / Germany !
I also wanted to see the new V6T instead the 3.2FSI but it unfortunately won´t be.....:nono:

[Mockenrue]

Also the Diesel-Engines are the same: 2.0 TDI and 3.0 TDI.


What about the 2.7TDI?

[tobitoooo]

What about the 2.7TDI?

Mhh, I heard nothing about a 2.7 TDI in the convertible, but I will ask my informant for you....:idea:

[AndyBG]

Yes, but 3.0 T schould replace 4.2l in S5, not 3.2 in A5...

[tobitoooo]

Yes, but 3.0 T schould replace 4.2l in S5, not 3.2 in A5...

Once again, that´s not true ! There won´t be a S5 convertible with V6T. It comes with the "old" V8 4.2 FSI and the "new" 7-Shift S-tronic definitively...

Believe it or not...

Greets
Tobi

[RXBG]

Yes, but 3.0 T schould replace 4.2l in S5, not 3.2 in A5...

remember there are two 3.0T V6 engines- the A6's and the S4's.

i have "heard" that the V8 option across the S4/S5 line will be replaced by the new S4 engine (333 hp). and that the current uplevel A4 3.2 V6 engine and the 3.2 V6 A5 engine will be replaced by the updated A6's 3.0 V6T (290 hp).

the only model of the A4/A5 lines to get a V8 will be the new RS4/5 and it will be a high output version of the new 4.0T V8 we have been waiting for.

I agree with you about RS 4/5 engine, but I doubt that there is a chance for two version of 3.0 T engine to be oferred at the same time in A4/5 and S4/5 line up...

IMHO 3.2 will stay, and 3.0 T will replace 4.2 in S5. Only question is when... Will that start with new S5 Cabriolet or with complete A5 ''facelift''.

[tobitoooo]

It comes with the A5/S5 facelift, soonest ! :asian:

Many greetings
Tobi

[RXBG]

regardless, the 3.2 A4 engine will have to be ditched in the next 2 years at the latest. it may be offered as a fwd powertrain option only in the A6 and the A4, but given that the base 2.0 can be upgraded easily by audi to make 230 or 240 hp to compete with merc, etc.... by the 2010 MY, the 290 hp engine will be the next logical step up, esp. since the 2.0 generates 258 of torque.

[The Pretender]

Many greetings

The A5/S5 is a new car with a new production line and Audi will use the new 3.0TFSI V6 supercharged engine with ± 360 hp in the new S5/S5 Cabrio. :vhmmm:

Jarod.

[AndyBG]

:hihi: This thread becoming interesting...

I will repeat myself and say that I don't know when S5 will recieve 3.0 T engine, but I know that there want be one on offer in A5 line-up...

But, than again, interesting development in this car segment is very possible. There are roumours about future Mercedes plans for upcoming CLK, the thing is, Merc' is planing to re-name CLK into E class coupe and to move it up scale to compete with BMW 6 series, also suposedly Merc' is planing to introduce new C class coupe, a car that will compete with Audi A5 and BMW 3 series coupe. Where all that lives A5...?

Will Audi, in case that Mercedes make all this plans true, move the A5 up and make room for some new coupe, A4 Coupe, maybe...?

[The Pretender]

Will Audi, in case that Mercedes make all this plans true, move the A5 up and make room for some new coupe, A4 Coupe, maybe...?
In that case Audi better move up the A5 and make room for a little bigger TT with longitudinal engine layout.

Jarod.

[AndyBG]

Jarod.

Exactly the same opinion... :thumb:

[RXBG]

you can call a cow a moose, but it is still a cow. the clk has always been a c-class coupe. the A5 was designed from the get go to be an A4 coupe, with the typical coupe upgrades and associated expense. no news there. all of the aforementioned engine changes make sense. what never made sense to me was the TTS's engine, especially now that the VW 3.6 is rumored to replace the 3.2 in the TT.

[The Pretender]

I'm with you on that one, the 4-pot is the worse engine choice Audi made for the car.

Jarod.

[AndyBG]

A5 is A4 coupe, but what I asked you is what will Audi do if Merc' really rellease E class coupe, and C class coupe...? Will Audi have some answer to that?

[Leadfoot]

I'm with you on that one, the 4-pot is the worse engine choice Audi made for the car.

Jarod.

Only if the 3.6L doesn't rob it of handling finesse.

[tvrfan]

i would compare a C class coupe with a A5 and a E class coupe with the A7.

[AndyBG]

i would compare a C class coupe with a A5 and a E class coupe with the A7.

A7 is ''four door coupe'', and its targeting Merc' CLS...

[Toto89]

I think the most necessary coupé is a two door A7, against BMW 6 series and Mercedes SL/CL. I can't beleive that it's only me who wants to have a big Audi coupé?:confused:

[AndyBG]

I wish Audi to produce ''big'' coupe for a long time now, but now days those cars aren't ''popular''. Maybe Audi ''move'' A5 up, and make it 6 series counterpart.

More and more reports are saying that CLK is thing of past, new Merc's coupe will be E coupe, and C class Coupe is on the way...

Would be interesting to see the sales figures BMW 6 series / Audi A5/S5.

I could imagine that the A5 performs pritty well. And from Audi's profit margin point of view: A4 technologie with the A5 design premium. That's what Mercedes did the the CLS / E-series as well.

[JavierNuvolari]

Very nice/clean looking car.

[roadrunner]

[Damienr8]

Looking good. Wonder how much it weighs in at.

[artur777]

Interesing that next year S5 will have 4.2L and S5 Cabrio 3.0TFSI engines...

[The Pretender]

Interesing that next year S5 will have 4.2L and S5 Cabrio 3.0TFSI engines...
Im not sure about that, the S5 Coup still having a 4.2.

Jarod.

[KresoF1]

In early summer 2009 S5 Coupe will get 3.0TFSI and other A5 Coupe models will get S Tronic.

[ZeroCool]

look at the side ;) there is a V6 T instead of the V8 ... so if this are official pics ... it's going to be a V6 T ;)

[AndyBG]

A5/S5 Cabriolet want be delivered before april '09, in that same time S5 Coupe will recieve 3.0 T engine...

[kju]

So everything is OFFICIAL now !
www.audi.at (http://www.audi.at) (austria)
A5/S5 Cabrio

official pics are online and also the motors:

Das Audi S5 Cabriolet

Das Spitzenmodell der neuen Cabriolet-Baureihe von Audi ist das S5 Cabriolet. Der Buchstabe S steht für Sport – für Dynamik, Performance und Power, aber auch für verblüffende Effizienz.


ls Antrieb des Audi S5 Cabriolet dient ein neu entwickelter, aufgeladener Dreiliter-V6. Ein mechanischer Lader setzt den 3.0 TFSI unter Druck – mit imposantem Ergebnis. Die Leistung gipfelt bei 245 kW (333 PS), das Drehmoment liegt zwischen 2.900 und 5.300 1/min konstant bei satten 440 Nm. Der mächtige Schub und das spontane, bissige Ansprechen vermitteln ein faszinierendes Fahrerlebnis. Das S5 Cabriolet katapultiert sich in 5,6 Sekunden von null auf 100 km/h und weiter auf abgeregelte 250 km/h Topspeed. Im Mittel verbraucht es jedoch nur 9,6 Liter Kraftstoff pro 100 km (vorläufige Werte).

Das Audi S5 Cabriolet rollt serienmäßig mit der servotronic, der Siebengang S tronic und dem quattro-Antrieb von Band, das Sportdifferenzial ist optional zu bekommen. Ein Sportfahrwerk bringt die Karosserie nah an die Straße heran. Auf den 18-Zoll-Gussrädern sind Reifen im Format 245/40 aufgezogen, die schwarzen Bremssättel tragen S5-Embleme. Das Akustikverdeck, Xenon plus-Scheinwerfer, elektrisch verstellbare Sportsitze mit Alcantara-/Leder-Bezügen und ein Multifunktions-Sportlederlenkrad sind ebenfalls Serie.

Diverse Design-Features tragen zur sportlichen Differenzierung bei, darunter Modifikationen an den Bug- und Heckschürzen, am Singleframe-Grill, an den Lufteinlässen und an den Auspuffrohren. Im Innenraum unterstreichen spezielle Sitzbezüge, Türeinstiegsleisten und Dekoreinlagen in mattem, gebürstetem Aluminium den hochwertig-dynamischen Stil des Topmodells. Die Skalen der Instrumente sind in Grau gehalten, ihre Zeiger weiß beleuchtet.


The A5 Cab will have everything from 2.0 TDI until 3.2 FSI
