The Frankfurt Motor Show is set to be one exciting show with cars like the Saab 9-5, Mini Coupe and now this Audi S5 Sportback making public debuts at the show.
The photo of the S enhanced Sportback from Audi is the first shot of the V6 supercharged Quattro cruiser. This is the same engine found in the new Audi S4 which will be making to the USA: the A5 and S5 Sportback will not be making it to the USA but Audi could condiser them in the future here.
The supercharged V6 is good for 328 bhp and a note to sixty in the low 5 second range. Audi has decided to swithc to supercharged engines over V8 for fuel efficiency reasons. The loss of V8 rumble will be missed but enthusiasts will have be replacing that with the sound of a supercharged V6.
Transmission options are limited to the twin clutch seven speed S tronic gearbox.
The Audi S5 Sportback should hit European markets sometime next spring.
