  Fast-Autos.net | 2008 Audi A5 3.2 FSI - Information, Pictures, and Specifications
Audi is launching a fascinating new model series for its entry into a highly emotionally charged segment of the market: the A5 successfully unites the acclaimed Audi design language and thrilling dynamic driving performance, and combines generous refinement with the brand’s characteristic quality and sophistication.
Naturally the A5 is particularly rich in these elements of the Audi “genetic code”, and the design makes that immediately clear: the coupé’s proportions, for instance, are characterised by a very wide and low stance, a short front overhang and a long, flowing transition from the C pillar to the tail end.
At the wheel of an Audi A5 3.2 FSI there is a whole 265 bhp of power output available and a superb torque of 244 lb-ft in a broad rev band of 3000 to 5000 rpm, ensuring blistering acceleration at all times.

Audi TT The first Audi of the modern era was the Audi 100 of 1968.
The Audi image at this time was a conservative one, and so, a proposal from chassis engineer Jorg Bensinger was accepted to develop the four-wheel drive technology in Volkswagen's Iltis military vehicle for an Audi performance car and rally racing car.
Audi has now introduced FSI on some of their engines, including the 1.6L 4 cylinder, a new 2.0L (Audi was the first manufacturer in the world to utilize a turbo charger and FSI on the same powerplant), and the 3.2L V6.

Audi strikes out in yet another new direction at the 77th International Geneva Motor Show (March 8-18) with the all-new A5, a dramatically styled coupé combining four-seat practicality, 455-litre luggage capacity and an all-new driver-oriented sports chassis with a configuration that is an equally radical departure for the brand.
The A5 2.7 TDI can accelerate from rest to 62mph in 7.6 seconds and reach a maximum speed of 144mph, while at the same time returning up to 42.1mpg, and the A5 3.0 TDI quattro reduces the acceleration time to just 5.9 seconds and increases the maximum speed to 155mph.
Inside, A5 and S5 models combine space for four adults with up to 455 litres of luggage space in the metre-wide load bay, which is further expandable by releasing the split/folding rear seat back rest.

With just two real doors, the sporty A5 coupe bucks the silly four-door-coupe trend and is expected to debut in early 2007 as a 2008 model.
