Audi S5 Review in the Guardian Weekend

A review of the Audi S5 4.2

Audi’s latest model, the Audi S5 gets a going over by The Guardian Weekend:

The Audi S5 drops it’s weight even closer to the ground than previous Audi models, comes with four exhaust pipes instead of two, and features a set of 19-inch alloys.  

All this weight is distributed pretty evenly on to both axles.  Jump on the accelerator, therefore, and there is little chance of your Audi S5 rearing up on its back wheels like a panicked horse.

Being an Audi, the car’s behaviour is, by default, mature and sensible.  The Audi S5 doesn’t so much overtake other cars as patronise them until they slow down.

Top Speed: 155mph

Acceleration: 0-62 in 5.2 seconds

‘The Audi S5, a four-seat grand tourer that says “Ambassador, you are spoiling us”, quicker than a tray of Ferrero Rocher ever could’

- Giles Smith (The Guardian Weekend).
