2010 Audi S5 Coupe - Audi Luxury Sport Coupe Review - Automobile Magazine
Audi's 4.2-liter V-8 is still a smooth, gorgeous-sounding powerplant.

We've had two different Audi S5 models in the office this month: this V-8 coupe and also an S5 Cabriolet with Audi's fabulous new supercharged V-6 engine. Whereas the supercharged V-6 makes 333 hp, the V-8 surpasses it with 354; torque figures are identical: 325 lb-ft, but the V-6 delivers it starting lower down in the rev range.inline_mediumwraptextright2010 Audi S5 Coupe31941081/reviews/editors_notebook/1001_2010_audi_s5_coupe1001_02_z+2010_audi_s5_coupe+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue
