AUDIS5 Coupe 2012 - 2016

　　In 2012, Audi refreshed its coupe and brought the S5 performance model with big improvements on the S range of vehicles. While the pre-facelift version had a 4.2-liter V8 engine, now it has a supercharged V6. Power is kept at respectable values for its class with 333 hp. The biggest gains are on the fuel consumption, though, where the figures are lowered with 20% compared to its predecessor.

　　As part of the mid-generational refresh, the S5 undergoes some major front-end changes including a complete redesign of the headlights - this means new DRL's, a brand new grille loosely based on the 2012 Audi A6 grille, and new fog lamps. Audi has also introduced a new rear diffuser that appears to be more cosmetic than the one found on previous models.

　　Like any other performance model, the S5 is offered with the quattro all-wheel-drive system. Performance is good for its segment with a 0-100 kph acceleration time of 4.9 seconds and a top speed limited at 250 kph.

　　Inside, there are many changes to the MMI infotainment unit, which now includes Google Earth images with selected Internet connectivity via an on-board SIM-card. Other subtle improvements are done on the dashboard and the seats, which are bolstered at a higher level. As usual in the S5 coupe, the rear seats are not so large, but good enough for passengers under 1.65 m (5.4 ft) high.
