New 2010 Audi S5 Cabriolet to UK

Audi is the German luxury car manufacturer, part of the Volkswagen Group. Recently we had reported about the first Volkswagen Group Logistics Service Facility in India. Now Audi has announced its open air S5 Cabriolet, which has been brought in to replace the S4 Cabriolet.

The A5 range flagship is powered by a supercharged V6 which is capable of delivering typical sports car pace with uncharacteristically high efficiency. The S5 Cabriolet features a seven speed S tronic twin clutch transmission as standard and gives 29.1 miles to the gallon. The car can do zero to 62 miles per hour in 5.6 seconds and can touch a limited maximum speed of 155 mph.

Something that every model in the S Quattro series has, the S5 Cabriolet’s quattro four-wheel-drive, gives exceptional performance due to the asymmetric system with 40/60 rear-biased torque split. Whether accelerating out of a corner, or just making a right-hander, the power transfer to the outer wheel literally thrusts the S5 out of a turn. Reduced steering effort coupled with a better level of adjustability and control are just some of the advantages of such a system.

The specially designed S sport suspension, aluminium-styled door mirrors, rear LEDs, xenon plus headlights with LED daytime running lights, black painted brake callipers, and special front and rear S stylings give the S5 Cabriolet its characteristic look. The vehicle will also feature an acoustic hood, which is a highly sophisticated version of the lightweight soft-top. This soft-top has a retraction time of just 15 seconds and can be raised in just 17 seconds. Both operations can be completed while driving at speeds of up to 31 mph.

The new Audi S5 Cabriolet can now be ordered in the UK. The OTR price of the luxury sports car is 42,245 GBP (approx. Rs. 33,70,150) and the first deliveries will start in October.
