2018 Audi S5
3.0T V6 power: The new S5 makes 354 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque thanks to its 3.0-liter, turbocharged V6 engine. Audi has tucked its twin-scroll turbocharger right between the V6’s two cylinder banks in what’s called a «hot inside V» configuration. Of course, the Audi isn’t the first to do this, but tells us that it chose the setup because the shorter exhaust paths help improve the turbo’s responsiveness to throttle inputs. And responsive it is, making its peak torque at a very low 1,370 RPM. The new engine is also 31 pounds lighter than the previous S5’s supercharged engine. That 3.0T V6 is mated to an eight-speed torque-converter automatic transmission. Paddle shifters are standard, but I’m a bit disappointed by the hollow plastic feel of the paddle, especially considering the S5’s price. I’m even more disappointed that the S5 no longer offers a manual gearbox in any configuration. Audi says that the vast majority of buyers who actually shell out for S5s opt for the auto-boxes, so… I guess this is your fault. I’m not at all disappointed by the performance. In a straight line, the coupe launches with a surge of power, even without activating the hidden launch control mode. The S5 boasts a 0-60 mph time of just in 4.4 seconds, which Audi claims is faster than the Mercedes-Benz C 43 and the BMW 440i. The S5’s engine and gearbox have amazing synergy. The shifts are smooth — almost imperceptible in the most comfortable settings — and the combo always seems to be in just the right gear, thanks in part to the generous and flat torque curve.
2017 Audi S5
What’s the 2017 Audi S5 Coupé like to drive? The S5 combines a new turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine with permanent quattro four-wheel drive and a standard eight-speed automatic gearbox, making it ready for daily use in any weather. Audi has downsized from a V8 engine to a supercharged V6 and now to a turbocharged V6 in the space of a decade, yet the latest S5 has more power and torque than ever before. Acceleration is fast but not blistering, although the new turbocharged engine does pick up from low revs more urgently than its supercharged predecessor used to. There’s a pleasing burble at town speeds, but it fades away slightly at the revs rise. As this is a performance car, some buyers will certainly be left wanting a bit more auditory drama. Power delivery is good at lower revs, becomes relatively flat through the middle part of the rev range, and then regathers urgency as the redline approaches. Still, there’s more than enough grunt here for road driving, even if you’ll often have the accelerator all the way to the floor when overtaking on the motorway.The S5 offers several manually selectable drive modes. In Efficiency mode, it will return an indicated 35mpg at a typical UK motorway cruise, while in Dynamic the car sends a greater proportion of its engine power to the rear wheels for more balanced handling. However, even if you get Audi’s optional Sport locking rear differential, Dynamic Active Steering and adaptive suspension, the S5 will only ever be so entertaining. It feels accurate and stable through corners, but never as direct, poised or communicative as an equivalent BMW 4 Series or Mercedes-AMG C-Class Coupé – and the Dynamic Active Steering makes the front end feel remote and unpredictable at times.The S5’s ride is quiet and broadly comfortable, though, and the interior is well isolated from road, wind and engine noise, making this an excellent long-distance car that’s unlikely to wear on the senses.
