2010 New Audi S5 Overview
The 2010 Audi S5 gets a cabriolet (soft-top convertible) variant that’s available only with a new supercharged V6, whereas the coupe keeps the previous V8. Also, the S5 receives Audi’s standardized trim level structure, and navigation-equipped S5s get the third-generation MMI system with a revised controller and real-time traffic.
The S5 features two engines: the coupe’s 4.2-liter V8, which churns out 354 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, and the cabriolet’s 3.0-liter supercharged V6, which is good for 333 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed manual transmission is standard on the coupe, and a six-speed automatic with manual shift control is optional. On the cabriolet, a seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual is the only available transmission.
