Audi S5 3.0 TFSi Cabriolet S tronic
What is it?
THE top of the A5 tree – bar the RS. Gorgeous range-topping convertible gets a 3.0-litre supercharged V6 engine – replacing the old 4.2-litre V8 – a folding electric fabric roof, quattro four-wheel drive, a seven-speed S tronic auto gearbox and sports suspension. Priced at £43,160.
What’s hot?
- Brawny yet sophisticated looks enhanced by classy roof
- Performance from new 328bhp V6 is electric…
- …with 0-62mph in 5.6 seconds and a 155mph maximum
- Lovely bassy soundtrack under power, quiet at a cruise
- Auto box, complete with paddles, shifts swiftly and smoothly
- Rooted to the spot around corners with amazing grip
- Beautiful interior, sumptuous materials throughout
- Hood is quiet when in place and drops slickly in just 15 seconds
- There’s still 320 litres of luggage capacity with it down too
What’s not?
- Steering, as with most Audis, doesn’t brim with feel
- The figures may say 29mpg combined, but reality is more like 20mpg
- CO2 emissions of 224g/km don’t help either
- Tiny rear seats are best used as extra luggage space
