Audi S5 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2007–2012) — First Generation
The first-generation Audi S5 brings sports-car character to elegant coupe, cabriolet, and liftback bodies with strong engines and quattro all-wheel drive.
The Audi S5 engine lineup blends strong performance with everyday usability. Early coupes feature a 4.2-liter V8 paired with either a manual or automatic transmission, while later cabriolets use a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 with a quick-shifting robotic gearbox. All versions send power to all four wheels for confident traction.
Audi S5 trim levels focus on well-equipped comfort and sporty details. The 3.0 S-tronic Cabrio is offered in a comprehensive Base configuration that includes leather upholstery, automatic climate control, and a premium audio system. Higher trims typically add navigation, upgraded wheels, and driver assistance features.
