The modern Audi S5 is a great car. It’s not the fastest, the lightest, nor the smallest. But it does lots of things very well, and we happen to think it’s a great GT cruiser. There are very few cars out there that are able to offer the all-season prowess combined with the big coupe body with a competent drivetrain. If there was one thing we would change about the S5 from the factory is the power. It’s not slow from the factory but it is such a well sorted chassis that you can tell it’s just begging for a little more motivation.
The stock 4.2 V8 waiting patiently:
Unfortunately for most customers the stock S5 is thought to be the best a car can get. For those enthusiasts who are aware of the work that APR and Magnusen have put into designing a supercharger kit for this vehicle, much more power awaits.
This particular owner had a certain CTS-V that was giving her issues on her commute. Rather than purchasing a new car, she had a great relationship of this one and just wanted one thing…. To be able to leave the CTS- V in the rearview from here on out.
So we got to work, removing the factory intake manifold and exposing the intake ports for a carbon cleaning service.
Then went in the APR HPFP’s and the Supercharger itself:
After the Fuel Pumps and Supercharger were installed the Carbonio intake from APR was the finishing touch to the engine bay. Freeing up some additional horsepower and adding a nice tidy upgrade under the hood.
Something tells me this S5 is going to have no trouble blowing the doors of almost anything on the roads this winter!
