Audi A5 Sportback Rendered to Perfection
Sometimes artists renderings are so good that they blur the lines between reality and imagination. This particular CGI (computer generated image) of Audi's forthcoming A5 Sportback was created by the artistic folks over at CWW Car Design and it gives us a pretty good idea of how the coupe-hatchback variant of the A5 will look like when it goes on sale in mid- 2009. The A5 Sportback will be based on the A4 / A5 underpinnings combining styling elements from the A5 coupe, A4 saloon and A4 Avant models.As you'd expect, the stylish A5 Sportback will be offered at launch with the option of front-wheel-drive or four-wheel (quattro) versions as well as with a wide range of petrol and diesel engines including the 160HP 1.8-liter TSI, 211HP 2.0-liter TSI, and 143 and 170HP 2.0 TDI, and the 240HP 3.0 TDI.
In 2010 the A5 Sportback line-up will be enhanced with the addition of the range-topping S5 that will benefit from the same 3.0-liter supercharged V6 TFSI engine that's under the hood of the new S4 Sedan and Avant models. The direct-injection 3.0 TFSI cranks out 333HP at 5,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 440 Nm (324.53 lb-ft) which is maintaed constantly between 2,500 - 4,850 rpm. In the S5 Sportback, power will be transferred to the road through a six-speed manual gearbox or optionally, via Audi's S-Tronic 7-speed dual clutch transmission.
