Why trade a winning horse? Audi recently presented two new models in its living room (read Ingolstadt) with pomp - the Audi A5 Coupé and the sporty Audi S5. The Germans did not touch the scalpel much during the renovation, as the exterior remained practically unchanged, they only touched the mask a little more. That's why they "painted" so much more on the interior and the passenger cabin, which is adapted to connectivity trends and equipped with large digital screens. They will hit the roads in autumn 2016.
Designers did not make a concrete cut in the new one Audi A5 Coupé, that's why they didn't bring a radically changed A5 Coupé from the operating room, but an almost identical twin of the model from in 2010– given its sharper appearance, you could even call it his evil twin. This measures in length 4.67 meters, and they aimed at his height 1.37 meters. It has a relatively long "beak", which continues with a low roof and ends with a short tail. The rear-view mirrors, which are attached to the sheet metal, contribute to the sporty look.
Lightweight body (regarding the predecessor, he dropped 60 kilograms) with increased torsional strength can boast excellent aerodynamics (Audi boasts that he has a new Audi A5 the best drag coefficient in the class namely 0.25) and aeroacoustics, and the trunk with 465 liters volume. He is standing on a platform MLB, which Audi already used in the new generation of the A4 model.
