Geneva Motor Show: Audi S5 Reveal

audibent_0729.jpg

Audi twinned its A5 unveiling with the coupe’s performance variant, the S5. At a glance, the high-performance coupe unadorned by go-faster bits, but upon closer inspection, details like larger brakes and wheels flesh out the design.

Powered by Audi’s 4.2-liter FSI V-8 (which generates 354 brake horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque), the all-wheel drive coupe can hustle to 62 miles-per-hour in 5.1 seconds. With a 40/60 rear-drive bias and a standard six-speed manual with two-stage defeatable electronic stability control, this has some potential for some big-time hooliganism.
