2012 Audi S5 in Frankfort, IL - $0

As Audi's premier two-plus-two coupe, the S5 is an exercise in handling balance and creativity. Successfully uniting the acclaimed Audi design language and thrilling dynamic driving performance, the S5 combines generous refinement with the brand's characteristic quality and sophistication.

The dynamic edge of the S5 comes from its 4.2L FSI V8 engine coupled to a six-

speed manual or six-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. Both transmissions communicate torque through a sport-biased quattro all-wheel drive system. Equipped with the close-ratio manual gearbox, the S5 boasts a zero-to-sixty time of just over five seconds.

Offered in 4.2 Premium Plus and 4.2 Prestige models, the S5 coupe is a clear and unique statement of sportiness and elegance. At the same time, the S5 offers drivers a personal road experience characterized by exhilarating performance and excellent comfort over long distances.

The S5 starts with Audi's extremely rigid body shell construction and new chassis architecture, which provides the basis for both the car's crisp handling and bank-vault solid comfort. The smooth surfaces of the additional underbody panels enhance the coupe's already good aerodynamics. Control hardware includes a new S-tuned sport suspension with a new five-link front suspension configuration.

Inside the cabin, the automaker's reputation for excellence continues, with a long list of safety features, creature comforts and advanced technology. Rear seat passengers enjoy impressive accommodations. Displays, controls and switchgear are user friendly, within reach, and easy to operate. Motorists can further customize the S5 interior with the availability of several interior trim choices. The 60/40 split rear seat back compliments the good-sized cargo area.
