2018 Audi S5 VS 2018 BMW M5

2018 Audi S5
Style and performance: For the coupe and convertible, the S5 still bears the same handsome proportions and shape, while Audi designer Frank Lamberty has added new, sharper touches to the exterior. The nose has been lowered closer to the road this time around, and the headlights have been raised slightly to furrow the S5’s brow a little. The S5 receives its own lighting signature from the S4, although we happen to like the latter’s just a little more. The S5’s unique element is Lamberty’s “power dome” on the hood that’s sharply creased and pronounces the performance coupe’s power. Along the side, Audi has added starch to a character line that runs along the body and hides the hood’s shunt line up top. Taken alone, the line doesn’t inspire much emotion, but in direct daylight—when the line can cast a longer shadow along the body—it comes better into view.The coupe’s cabin is punctuated by a chrome accent that frames the window and visually places the wider rear pillar that connects the roof to the trunk. The convertible’s top doesn’t have the same frame, and the new S5 Sportback skips the element altogether. What the Sportback missed in the fatter C-pillar it more than gained in its devastating shape. Although the Sportback body has been available in Europe for a few years, it makes its first trip across the pond this year. The four-door S5 is a dead-ringer for the bigger S7 that we like so much, and carves the same side profile as the bigger sedan. We’re not alone in our admiration for the S5 Sportback either—Lamberty said of all the S4/S5 models that the Sportback was his favorite too.Regardless of body style, the S5 is powered by a new turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 that Audi brought to the S4 and S5—a variant will appear in the RS 5 later. The turbo-6 is rated at 354 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque and can propel the S5 up to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds. The twin-scroll, single turbocharger sandwiched between the V-6’s banks that feeds one side of the engine first to reduce any lag from the forced induction. Mostly, the engine succeeds in providing willing power throughout the range. The S5’s torque comes on at 1,350 rpm and stays flat all the way to 4,500 rpm. The V-6 feels particularly strong in passing—the S5’s mission as a grand tourer that can chew through miles has been largely realized. The engine teamed with an 8-speed automatic exclusively—no manual this time around—and Audi’s all-wheel-drive system, which it calls Quattro.

2018 BMW M5
2018 BMW M5 reportedly coming with 8-speed automatic, AWD that switches to rear drive: Juicy new details have surfaced surrounding the 2018 BMW M5, and it seems the German marque is hellbent on injecting some of the «Ultimate Driving Machine» character lacking in the last generation back into the M5. Enthusiasts should be delighted to hear the latest details include the 2018 M5’s 4.4-liter bi-turbo V-8 engine getting more than 600 horsepower and a new 8-speed automatic handling the shifting duties. The previous M5 arrived with a 7-speed dual clutch, though, BMW recently went on the record to say the DCT is on its way out. A traditional manual gearbox is a no-go as well. Boo! Still, acceleration from 0-62 mph will supposedly happen in just 3.6 seconds thanks in part to standard all-wheel drive. However, the M5 should have one trick of its sleeve to help soothe those saddened by the thought of an all-wheel-drive M5. The 2018 M5 is tipped to arrive with an xDrive Sport mode, which is said to offer the capability to switch to a 100-percent rear-wheel-drive driving experience on the fly with the push of a button. That would mean drivers could keep the practicality of an AWD sport sedan, but they’d be able to flip on the fun button at their discretion. The source, who shared the information with BMW Blog, supposedly got a look at the 2018 M5 in the flesh at a no-camera event. But that hasn’t stopped them from spilling these details on the internet. Additionally, a carbon fiber roof, a more aggressive rear diffuser, and a trunk lid spoiler are part of the package. All of this is said to be wrapped in a design that takes cues from the M6 as well. The 2018 BMW M5 may officially show its reimagined face at the 2017 Frankfurt auto show this coming September. Is this the first M5 we should be excited about in a long time? Possibly.
