1st pics of the all-new A5 & S5 are out....

One classy machine

"Audi revolutionized its mid-size class in 2007 with the A5. The Ingolstadt-based carmaker created a work of art that took fans around the world by storm. Nine years later marks the launch of the second generation - with a new, honed look and high tech everywhere. The new generation of the A5 Coupé is athletic, sporty and elegant. Its design goes hand in hand with sophisticated aerodynamics. Under the skin the A5 impresses with an all-new chassis, powerful engines, and innovative infotainment features and driver assistance systems.

How do you make a design masterpiece even more beautiful? Audi designers have been pondering this question for years. The results are impressive: The new Audi A5 Coupé sports a fresh, modern and honed look. It is nevertheless true to its DNA with the sporty and elegant character being passed down to the new version. The best example is the now three-dimensional wave-shaped shoulder line that already characterized the previous model. The precisely sweeping line with pronounced bulges over the wheel arches emphasizes all four wheels - a cue to the quattro all-wheel drive.

The perfectly balanced proportions with a long engine hood, the stretched wheelbase and short overhangs underscore the sportiness of the new A5 Coupé. The sculpted Singleframe grille is significantly flatter and wider than in the previous model. The LED rear lights and optional LED or Matrix LED headlights with dynamic turn signals make high-end technology visible even after dark."

"With its newly developed 3.0 TFSI, the Audi S5 Coupé is now in a league of its own. The turbo V6 exhibits highly efficient, sports car-like performance. From its 2,995 cc of displacement, the boosted six-cylinder engine produces 260 kW (354 hp) of power, which is 15 kW (21 hp) more than the engine in the previous model."

So funny. Audi changes the shape of a headlight and calls it a new model.
 
Personally I think evolutionary design is the best form of progression. I can certainly spot the difference, as well as improvements on the outside. Keeps the design sharp and fresh, but never loses sight of the recent heritage. Everything under the skin is the newest and best tech. Far superior to the outgoing model. Stunning car!

That's funny because I was just thinking thus car seems to have gotten the biggest proper overhaul of the lot.

It seems a bit too grown up and sedan like now.
 
First thing I noticed is that this car now has Hips, the wheel archs don't follow the same straight lines as the A4
 
The bonnet curve gives it quite an aggressive stance. :love:

The 2 lines, kinda reminds me of the lines on the BMW E90 LCI bonnet?
 
You're in the wrong price segment if you're looking for something exotic :P

Can't say I like this. It's too 'BMW'.

No man I'm comparing to the old one only.

It's a very exotic shape in the Audi stable.
 
I notice the mirrors are mounted like the A7. Other than that basically hips and E90 lci bonnet. Front bumper looks more "angry". Roux will be along shortly to tell you to buy an Astra or something.
 
Oh my god - the front is hideous!! I am an Audi fan, but this is just disgusting. Looks like a Korean car from the 90's.

They really need to get rid of their current designer - he has ruined some Audi cars of late. Just look at the plonky Q2 as another example of this "different for the sake of it" design style.

Well, the current A5 just went up in value massively.
