    a$$ end looks too much like a slaab. Audi hasn't done a good job w/ the a$$ of car since the b5 a4 or d2 a8, this was on the reason I went w/ avant vs. sedan.

    Yep and according to the Audi Germany website, the S5 weighs 1630kg vs. 1660kg for the current S4 saloon so there is hope...

    If this is true then where is all the improvement coming from, 0.5s is a hack of a lot from only 30kgs and 10hp.
    Search and you will find the truth.

    Leadie,

    I think for 0-100km the torque curve is more important than max hp. Probably the torque curve is flat at the top with a wider range.

    rqiu,

    I was always under the impression that horsepower was top speed and torque was always acceleration right from the zero up. I might be wrong, maybe someone here can enlighten us on this point.

    Leadie,

    Then we are on the same page. I guess I should have said 0 to 100km/h. I was saying the acceleration is better because the torque curve is improved.
