This is the Audi S5 Sportback, which has just been formally announced to be priced at €57,900. It is fitted with the blown 3.0L V6 that's standard kit in the S4, available in the A6, and will shortly replace the V8 as the motivator under the S5 coupe's hood. Declared standard for the Sportback is the Quattro as well as the seven-speed S tronic twin-clutch gearbox. At extra cost, a sport differential can be added. Other standard S-car bits include the metallic-finished mirrors, quad pipes, S-design wheels and polished vertical grille slats. Basically, it's the S5 with two extra doors and a hatchback. The Sportback demonstrates that a standard model can be turned into a sporty hatch without going all Crosstour. Power from the V6 is 333hp and 324 lb-ft, allowing for a 5.4-second acceleration to 62 mph (100 km/h) and an electro-powered 155-mph top speed. The car is capable of more than 24 mpg. It will arrive in Deutschland Audi stores this spring.
