The A5 Cabriole
When Audi’s Italian head of design, Walter da Silva, designed the Audi A5, he described it as ‘a rhythm of lines’ and the
most beautiful car he’d ever built. The A5 Cabriolet has exactly the same qualities, with the added benefit of open-top
driving. Its lightweight roof opens in just 15 seconds and closes in 17, and the optional head-level heating and solar
heat-reflecting upholstery ensure that it’s enjoyable to have the roof down, whatever the weather conditions.
Aside from the obvious benefits of a cabriolet, there are other features that are equally appealing. It accelerates from
0 to 62mph in just 5.6 seconds, on the way to an electronically limited top speed of 155mph. And there’s a choice of
impressive engines, the 2.0 TDI, 3.0 TDI, 3.2 FSI and S5 quattro®, which demonstrate our trademark fuel-efficient
technology. Technical ingenuity and elegant design combine to make us rather proud of the A5 Cabriolet.

All A5 Cabriolet petrol engines feature FSI®direct-injection – a unique Audi technology
originally developed for the Le Mans 24-hour endurance race to deliver increased
power and torque as well as enhanced fuel efficiency. The way it does this is, in theory,
very simple. Precisely the right amount of fuel and air are injected directly into the
combustion chambers, enabling the engine to ‘breathe’ more easily. At the same time,
electronics monitor the engine load and adjust the injection process. The result –
reduced heat-loss and increased output, with around a 15% reduction in fuel
consumption and significantly lower exhaust emissions. Ideal for the buyer who
wants an athletic, exhilarating drive without the drawbacks of excessive fuel costs
or high emissions.
All diesel engines from Audi are known as TDI. This impressive technology was originally
pioneered by Audi in 1989, marking a departure from the noisy, fuel-thirsty diesel engines
of the past. Like its FSI petrol counterpart, the TDI diesel engine is designed for power,
performance, low fuel consumption and emissions.
All A5 Cabriolet TDI engines are based on the common rail system. Here, fuel is stored
and kept at constant pressures of up to 1,600 bar, ready to feed a series of highly accurate
piezo injectors, which control the rate and point of injection.

®
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 athletic characteristics
which make the A5 Cabriolet so thrilling to drive. It’s called quattro®
permanent all-wheel-drive. 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 Cabriolet, 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, more dynamic drive.

One look at its muscular body styling, 19” alloy wheels and subtle V6T badging, and it’ll come as no surprise that the Audi S5
Cabriolet features the new S tronic gearbox as standard, as well as a new powerful 3.0 litre V6 supercharged engine, capable of
taking you from 0 to 62 mph in 5.6 seconds. And from the comfort and stability of a stylish, S5-embossed Silk Nappa leather
Sports seat, you can sit back and enjoy every single unit of this engine’s 333PS capability, safe in the knowledge that the quattro®
permanent all-wheel-drive system will keep you exactly where you want to be – on the road.
But sleek styling and powerful performance in the S5 Cabriolet don’t come at the expense of functional, driver-oriented
specifications. Simple yet thoughtful touches, such as the matt-brushed aluminium inlays, S instrument dials and
through-load facility have been included to ensure that your life runs as smoothly as your Audi does.

Transmission
Translating a driver’s preferences and intentions into road performance, the multitronic®
automatic transmission system entertains no compromises – whether in terms of
dynamism, convenience or economy. multitronic®is available on front-wheel-drive
models. A continuously variable transmission, multitronic®operates in an exceptionally
wide range of gear ratios thanks to its steel link-plate chain construction. The result is
exceptional driving comfort, as well as smooth, powerful acceleration over the entire
range of engine speeds.
In addition, thanks to its lightweight design and the DRP Dynamic Regulating
Programme which monitors gradient, road conditions and the way the driver is using
the accelerator pedal, multitronic®also plays an instrumental role in reducing fuel
consumption. And with seven simulated gear ratios available, you can enjoy all these
benefits whilst adopting the dynamic driving style of a manual.
The revolutionary 7-speed S tronic gearbox combines sporty driving with the convenience
and smooth, uninterrupted power of an automatic transmission. The technical basis of
S tronic is the double clutch. This consists of two lubricated plates with hydraulically-
regulated contact pressure. It means that S tronic works almost as two separate systems:
one engaging the odd-numbered gears, the other the even-numbered gears, enabling
gearshifts to be made in a fraction of a second, with no disruption to the power flow. So
with S tronic, depending on how the mood takes you, you can either allow gear-changes
to take place automatically or, for a sportier driving style, operate the system using the
gear lever or the optional steering wheel shift-paddles. The choice is yours.
