In order to maintain the top-spot in the highly competitive luxury car segment, Audi is planning to launch a series of new cars in the Indian car market. The company is planning to launch the sporty S5 in the country. Interestingly, the maker doesn’t have the A5 model series in India; however, the company will launch the high performance model - the S5 Sportback in the country.
The Audi S5 is powered by a 3.0-litre supercharged V6 mill that churns out 338PS of peak power. The car accelerates to 100kmph from zero in mere 4.9 seconds and hits an electronically limited top speed of 250kmph. The S5 will be positioned between the sedan 'A' range and the powerful RS5.
The S5 is equipped with Quattro drive and the S Sport suspension. The flared wheel arches of the car have been fitted to 18-inch wheels. When compared to the A5, the S5 Sportback gets new lights with large broken loop LED inserts. It is equipped with large gaping chrome grille that accommodates S5 logo, large five-spoke alloy wheels, two double barrel chrome tipped exhausts and new, greyish outside rear view mirrors.
The Audi RS5 will be launched as a CBU (Completely built unit), and might be be priced around Rs. 65 lakh to Rs. 70 lakh.
