STaSIS Signature Series For The Audi S5 Proves Ready to Rumble
Fresh off development, the STaSIS Signature Series S5 is now available with the added performance to back-up Audi’s evocative design.

Available in two levels of trim, the Signature Series S5 comes in either Touring or Challenge Edition formats. Utilizing the same high-end technology engineered by STaSIS for World Challenge racing, the S5 Signature Series turns Audi's grand tourer to a legitimate canyon carver.

“Audi has demonstrated their passion for motoring in the new design,” said Henry Hsu, Director of Engineering at STaSIS. “Our design challenge was to create two distinct packages that redefine the S5’s performance capabilities while staying true to Audi’s idea of luxury touring.”

With 0 to 60 mph coming in 4.6 seconds, the S5 Signature Series is faster to 60 than a BMW 650i, Mercedes CLK 550 and Lexus IS-F. Around the skidpad, the Challenge Edition S5 pulls off an astounding .99g, which bests the Porsche Carrera 4S, Lotus Elise SC and Chevy Corvette Z06.


Touring Edition models come equipped with Ohlins SL dampers, 20” STaSIS Monolite© RS 147 forged wheels and T-304 stainless steel exhaust. Designed with the enthusiast in mind, the Touring Edition sharpens the S5’s reflexes without compromising the quality and comfort Audi customers demand.


Aimed at those seeking a race-bred daily driver the Challenge Edition expands on the Touring package with the addition of a 370-mm Alcon Mono6 front brake upgrade, Torsen center differential, anti-roll bar package and an ECU upgrade estimated at an additional 15 hp/20 lbft.

In addition, the Challenge Edition receives the upgraded option of Yokohama Advan Sport tires. With the components of the Challenge Edition package, the S5 becomes a machine equally at home on the track as on city streets.

Pricing for the two packages comes in at $9,995 for Touring and $13,995 for Challenge. Available at dealerships across the country, the Signature Series is the no-compromise solution for those seeking aftermarket performance coupled with the security of a 4-year/50,000 mile warranty. STaSIS Engineering’s Signature Series line-up provides performance enhancements for A3, A4, S4, TT and S5 models.

Having driven that car stock and with the Signature Series package, all I can say is, you will not be disappointed with the performance upgrades and you can't beat the warranty.

I believe Jack Daniels Audi in Bergen County, NJ is building one now for sale and as a demo car.

Wow, very nice. Those coilovers are a definite must-have for the S5!

Yes, they're putting together an A5 w/Stasis Touring Package. I was told it will sticker for around $10-12k over loaded MSRP (~$62k). Just doesn't seem like a good value to me; that's more than I'm paying for my S5, even after you add H&R coilovers, wheels, new tires, tint, clearbra, and about 6 months of gas, lol.
