S5 (2007 to Present)

The Audi S5 is the high-performance variant of the Audi A5, first introduced in 2007 as part of the B8 generation and positioned between the standard A5 and the range-topping RS5. Designed as a sporty grand tourer, the S5 has been offered in coupe, cabriolet, and Sportback body styles across multiple generations, combining everyday usability with strong performance. Early models featured a naturally aspirated 4.2-litre V8, while later generations transitioned to supercharged and then turbocharged V6 engines, all paired with Audi’s quattro all-wheel-drive system and either manual or dual-clutch automatic transmissions. In the Australian market, the S5 is regarded as a refined yet capable performance coupe or Sportback, appealing to buyers seeking understated performance and year-round usability, with V8-powered early models increasingly gaining interest among enthusiasts.
