Audi have released the new S5 Cabriolet just in time for a hopeful Indian summer, the flagship of the A5 range is powered by the S4’s V8 engine as well as the S-tronic twin clutch sports transmission which helps provide 224g/km of CO2 and 29.1 miles per galloon. 0-62 in just 5,6 seconds with a limited top speed of 115 miles per hour.
Every bit A5 and every bit S Quattro range too the Audi A5 Cabriolet range will of course also feature the most sophisticated version of the lightweight soft-top – the acoustic hood – which with additional insulating layers reduces external noise intrusion into the cabin to virtually the same level as the fixed head Coupe. The soft-top retracts in 15 seconds and raises again in only 17 seconds, and can complete both operations at speeds of up to 31mph.
The Audi S5 Cabriolet makes light work of transports easily four adults in comfort, and when the soft top is in place, a best-in-class luggage capacity of 380 litres also enables accommodation of luggage for four. In topless mode the roof stowage compartment only marginally reduces this impressive total to 320 litres.
