A newly developed Turbo FSI petrol engine available from this week for the Audi A5 provides the sought-after coupe with yet another choice blend of pace and pence-per-mile efficiency. The new 211PS A5 2.0 TFSI can be ordered in either front-wheel-drive or quattro permanent all-wheel-drive forms for £28,760 OTR or £30,285 OTR, and will reach its first UK customers in August.
The new high-tech 2.0-litre unit is derived from the already much praised 1.8 TFSI engine introduced recently in A3, A4 and A5 models, but takes its efficiency a step further still through the use of new Audi valvelift technology. By employing sliding cam units mounted on the intake camshaft that allow for more variation in the degree of valve lift, the engine is able to ‘breathe’ even more effectively, switching to a higher cam profile when strong acceleration is required, or a lower profile that requires less fuel and air compression when throttle usage is more relaxed.

The tuning company added a new body kit which includes a front lip spoiler, new side skirts, a new rear air diffuser with integrated exhaust system.
The coupe also received a new spring kit from H&R which improves the stability of the car without losing any comfort, but also new set of 20” alloy wheels fitted with 255/30 R20 Dunlop tires.

No words about the price yet!
Audi will unveil the convertible version of the A5 Coupe in October at the Paris Motor Show. The car will come to replace the A4 Convertible, which was built by Karmann. The A5 Cabrio will be built by Audi at its Neckarsulm plant in Germany alongside the coupe. The convertible version will compete with the BMW 3-Series Convertible.
Audi will likely employ a lightweight canvas roof for its new convertible that will save both on costs as well as storage space.The cabrio will be powered by the same engines as found in the coupe, which means the latest FSI and TDI engines, with output ranging from 170 to 265hp. There’s also likely to be V8 powered S5 and RS5 performance models as well.
The base model will remain FWD but AWD variants will feature latest quattro torque vectoring systems, which distribute drive individually between each axle and between the rear wheels for improved traction and stability. Audi’s new seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch gearbox should also feature in the new model.
First rumors said the Convertible version of the Audi A5 will be unveiled this year at the Geneva Motor Show. But the show just ended and no sign of a A5 Convertible. Why? Because the A5 Convertible isn’t expected to debut until January 2009 at the Detroit Auto Show. It will be produced in Neckarsulm, Germany.
The A5 Convertible will feature a fabric hoods (not a metal one like the 3-Series). The fully electric top will offer excellent refinement, thanks to its multi-layered construction.
Under the bonnet we will see the same engines as in the coupe version:a 3.2-litre V6 petrol, plus 2.7-litre and 3.0-litre TDI diesels. The range will be topped off by the S5 Cabriolet, which will be powered by a 4.2-litre V8 and will feature quattro four-wheel drive.
