Vorsprung durch Technik.
Three words that express
the very essence of Audi.
Vorsprung durch Technik isn’t
a slogan. It’s our way of seeing
the world. It is the driving
force behind our history of
innovation that continues into
the 21st century. Indeed, many
technologies that Audi pioneered
remain in our cars today. Some
are milestones in the history of
the motorcar.
From our beginnings in 1899, to
the Auto Union team’s Grand Prix
successes in the 1930s and our
more recent wins at Le Mans, we
have always been at the forefront
of the motor industry.
Vorsprung durch Technik makes
us who we are. To see more of its
influence, just read on.

The Audi A5
Sportback
continues our
proud history
of innovation.
It’s the first mid-size Sportback in the Audi
range, an exciting milestone in design. But
even in a pioneer like the A5 Sportback,
it’s rare to find such a balance of different
qualities. Its elegant lines and accentuated
wheel arches are influenced heavily by the
iconic A5 Coupé while it provides the comfort
and practicality of a larger family car. It also
comes with several different engine options
– TDI, FSI and TFSI – all incorporating fuel-
efficient direct-injection technology.

Efficiency
At Audi, doing less is something we’re trying
to do more of. We’re working to use less fuel,
release less CO2and waste less energy. It’s why
we’ve incorporated a number of more efficient
technologies into the Audi A5 Sportback.
Recuperation
When a vehicle brakes, the brake discs convert
the kinetic energy into thermal energy, which is
wasted as it cannot be used. With a recuperation
system, like the one in the Audi A5 Sportback, the
kinetic energy is converted into useful electrical
energy. The way it works is simple. While the car is
coasting or braking, the alternator voltage is raised
above the level of the basic electrical system, which
enables the alternator to generate electrical energy
and store it temporarily in the battery. When the
vehicle accelerates, this energy is used to relieve
the load on the alternator, resulting in a fuel
saving of 3%.
Automatic Start-Stop function
In heavy traffic, your car still uses fuel and releases
CO2, even when it’s stationary. The automatic
Start-Stop function counteracts this problem by
switching off the engine when your car comes to a
standstill. As soon as you touch the clutch, the car
restarts. In conjunction with TDI and TFSI, it helps
save 0.4 litres of fuel every 100km.
8

Efficiency programme
The Driver’s Information System in the Audi A5
Sportback is available with a special efficiency
programme, which offers up-to-the-minute advice
on ways you can improve fuel economy as you
drive. It also shows you which items in your car are
using energy, and how much they are using, so you
can make an informed choice about which ones to
switch off.

Engine
The A5 Sportback is available with a number of engine options:
2.0 TFSI, 3.2 FSI quattro®, 2.0 TDI and 3.0 TDI quattro®. They
all incorporate fuel-saving direct-injection technology, which has
played a major part in our unprecedented success at Le Mans.
The fuel is injected directly into the combustion chambers, so not
a drop is wasted. It was ideal on the racetrack, and it’s just as
effective on the road.

11
Transmission
The A5 Sportback comes with a 6-speed manual gearbox, or
you can opt for a 7-speed S tronic transmission, which uses
an innovative dual-clutch system. It means that while you’re
accelerating in third, it’s already pre-selecting fourth, so it
changes gear in just a few milliseconds without any interruption
in power. Alternatively, you can choose a 6-speed manual
transmission, which puts you in complete control of every gear
shift, for a flexible and rewarding drive.

12
quattro®
It’s the technology that has given Audi the
edge on the racetrack ever since it was first
introduced over 25 years ago – a technology
that delivers ultimate control whilst
enhancing the sporty characteristics which
make the A5 Sportback so thrilling to drive.
It’s called quattro® permanent
all-wheel-drive.

13
The principle is simple: in the same way that
four brakes ensure better deceleration, four
permanently-driven wheels deliver better
acceleration and road-holding, pushing
or pulling the car as needed, for a driving
experience that’s both dynamic and safe.
In the A5 Sportback asymmetric dynamic
torque distribution continuously distributes
drive power between the front and rear
axles depending on weather conditions,
road surface and gradient, which increases
flexibility for an enhanced, sportier drive.
