A5/S5/RS5 Audi A5 Official Pictures

[Sayyaaf]

OMG. Few new pics and I totally changed my mind !!! this car ROCKS !!!

Audiholic: Am sorry but this is better than the Nuvolari. Man look how it looks in darker colors. Again, Audi succeeded to amaze me.

Yannis: Celebration time

Much better pics of the car, shame about the horsepower though. 0-62 in 5.0 secs is good though. I wonder how light this car is.

it appears to me that the new MMI has bigger screen than the one on the older versions.

may be i am seeing things.

interesting.

I like the one below.

Anyone else think these official pics make a world of difference from the leaked photo's?????? They most certainly have for me.

i still don't get why there 2 different positionings of the MMI buttons (dash and transmission tunnel) and hwy there are 2 diferent possible CD interfaces on the dash that seem to sport a similar array of buttons.

what would warrant such drastic changes?

and i am not a fan of wood for wood's sake. i.e. a couple of thin strips on the doors and around teh gears to give a sembl;ance of woody lux, however the quality, either incorporate properly or don't

aand i still hold firm to what i said abot the design before

Planned ultra-special launch on March 6th is ruined.

Audi have already issued the pics & info due the leak!

Here it is --- 100% official:

Poor Audi they must be devastated, especially since they had a count down.

 

[Mr. M]

Why are the gauges now bluish in colour, have they ditched the white/black with red needles combo?

Observation: Reading the press release it says that there is only one automatic transmission currently available; an 8spd multitronic CVT tranny on FWD onjly, no DSG or Tiptronic. This is very unusual that they'd only have one transmission available w/ Quattro (6spd manual). Hopefully we'll get some updated info rather soon.

The profile is really dead gorgeous and hopefully Audi will launch a CL sized coupe with the same lines.

Snippet taken from Autoweek A5 article:

U.S. sales of the 2008 A5 and S5 begin in November with the 3.2-liter, 265-hp V6 as the primary A5 engine offering. Both models launch with six-speed manual transmissions with six-speed automatics appearing three months later for the A5 and six months later in the S5. Although front drive is available in Europe, all U.S. models come equipped with quattro all-wheel-drive.
