The surprise of Audi
The dependent German mark of Volkswagen glides to send A5, one coupé with which will compete with Mercedes CL and future Series 6 of BMW. The beginning of the commercialization is predicted for end of the 2003 on a new platform.



A5, with lines similar to the one of TT. (Terra/Motorpress)

For end of the 2003, the segment premium of coupés near the five meters in length will be inhabited by the CL of Mercedes, new Series 6 of BMW and by a new guest of luxury, A5 de Audi.

A new platform will be the base of the unpublished model of the house of Ingolstadt.
This model, will leave from a new platform that, sure will be located between those of A4 and A6. Its aesthetic one will leave from the one of model TT, but it will show changes in the resolution of the optical. Another one of the differences, given in this case by the size, that he will be near the five meters, is the presence of four real seats.

Audi will include in A5 the last technology available. Coupé will take of series 10 airbags , electronic controls to regulate the suspension and the stability (without disconnection) next to located video cameras in the rear view mirrors , those that will generate images that will project in the board of instruments.

By the side of the comfort, everything will be thinking to offer the maximum luxury. It will have upholstered of leather, satelite connection to the GPS, bixenon lights, steering wheel multifunction and access to Internet.

The motorizations will be two in principle, both nafteras. V8 of 4,2 liters with 380 CV and W12 of 6,0 liters with 450 horses . A Diesel version is not discarded since Series 6 will take a gasolero motor, something that does not offer the CL. The rims will be of 18 inches with tires in measurement 225.

Default No, your tranlastion is not correct, here is a better translation:

Audi is pleased to confirm that the Audi A5 will be headed to production. This car continues Audi's tradition of offering style, form, and quality in a sporting chasis.

The first thing you will notice is the styling. Yet another bastardization of the TT look that everyone is getting tired of. To accent the car's lines, Audi will not be painting the lower 3 feet of the car, and instead offer plastic side molding, as first shown on the new A4.

Audi's tradition of sporty engines continues with this newly updated turbocharged engine. By increasing the displacement on the 1.8t up to 2.5 liters, Audi engineers were able to boost hoarsepower from 170 up to 173! And the torque is increased as well to a total of 180 foot pounds! And in the interest of safety, Audi has installed a transponder that will notify AoA if the A5's engine ever produces any more than the specified 173hp.

Audi is a stong believer that a car's interior should feel like home. Since very few Americans have MP3 players in their homes, Audi has decided to not offer the car with an MP3 compatable stereo. And since very few homes have gauges, Audi will cut even more gauges from their insturment pod. Now the drive only has to worry about the speedometer and fuel gauge.

All this technology has been added to the A5, while only increasing the weight of the car by 4340 pounds over the A4's weight.
