When Audi confirmed that it will launch a sport-coupe vehicle in the premium segment, the world was thrilled and, in 2007 it did it. And it did something more by adding the S5 version.

The Audi brand was built on two main pillars: the all-wheel-drive Quattro system and the Audi Coupe from the early '80s. A car that was famous on the World Rally Championship due to its all-wheel-drive system. Over time, it evolved with the introduction of the Audi Coupe B3 (1988 – 1996). After that moment, the only coupe vehicle from Audi was the TT, in the compact segment.

The 2007 Audi S5 featured a slightly modified bodywork of the A5 Coupe. Its front singleframe grille with silver surrounding and aggressive front apron was matched by the rest of the car. A sloped cabin resembled the Audi Coupe style, but more rounded. Like its notorious ancestor, it featured a trunk lid that was opened without the rear window. In the back, the four rounded exhausts were peaking under the rear bumper, with a wide diffuser between them.

Inside, the cabin featured a 5 seating configuration with bucket-seats in the front and a bench in the rear with the split-folding seatback. The dashboard featured an instrument cluster and the infotainment screen under the same roof. The low seating position was typical for a sports car.

Under the hood, the Audi engineers managed to fit a 4.2-liter V8 engine mated to a standard 6-speed manual or six-speed Tiptronic automatic. It was all-wheel-drive and had a 50:50 weight distribution.
