Open air A5 range flagship adopts supercharged V6 power to maximize efficiency without diluting driving pleasure.

New S5 Cabriolet now open for order in Europe - first deliveries in October
Replaces S4 Cabriolet and adopts supercharged V6 TFSI with 333HP and 440Nm from 2,500-4,850rpm in place of its naturally aspirated V8
Seven-speed S tronic twin-clutch transmission as standard
Evolution of quattro system with optional sport differential capable of varying torque not only between front and rear axles but also between each rear wheel
Optional Audi drive select adaptable dynamics system enables fine-tuning of throttle response, shock absorber settings and steering feel
S5 Cabriolet 0-62mph in 5.6 seconds, top speed limited to 155mph, combined mpg 29.1, CO2 224g/km
Lightweight acoustic soft-top opens in 15 seconds, closes in 17 seconds and reduces cabin noise to near fixed head levels
Cabriolet lovers hopeful of an Indian summer will welcome the new Audi S5 Cabriolet, which becomes available to order in Europe this month and will touch down there in October.

The latest A5 range flagship is powered by the same all-new supercharged six-cylinder engine that enables the previously V8-powered S4 Saloon to deliver characteristic sports car pace with atypically high efficiency, and its influence is equally palpable in this latest application. Working exclusively in conjunction with the equally economy-focused 7-speed S tronic twin-clutch sports transmission, the new unit pares CO2 output back to 224g/km and boosts economy to up to 29.1mpg, yet also powers the S5 Cabriolet to 62mph in 5.6 seconds and on to a governed 155mph top speed.
