There’s nothing quite like the feel of a turbocharged engine, and the Audi S5 Coupe ranks right up there at the top of the list when it comes to satisfying that urge for power. This high-performance luxury coupe is ready to take on anything with a supercharged 4.2-liter V8 that puts out a stunning 354 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque – and it looks incredibly gorgeous while it’s at it.

Driving enthusiasts will find the Audi gives them plenty to love. The heavier set of the car makes it feel almost like a touring vehicle, but it handles so sharply and precisely that the feel is more sporty than sedate. The traction is fantastic with AWD, and the power steering is extremely responsive, needing only a touch to get you cruising down the right road. The acceleration feels amazing, and it’ll get from zero to 60 in just under 5 seconds.

Though the S5 certainly holds its own when it comes to the engine wars, when you buy a luxury vehicle you’re in it as much for the looks of the beast as the feel of the drive. Thankfully, the Audi S5 doesn’t leave you wanting in either department. The exterior is so sleek and beautiful you’ll want to keep it in your house as a piece of art, while the interior simply oozes luxury, with napa leather upholstery, heated power sport seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a sleek dash-mounted control system with satellite radio and auxiliary jack.

The front seats are part of what make the driving experience of the Audi S5 so good, with a low seat and a high cowl that are ideal for cruising. The rear seats have been given a surprising – and welcome – amount of attention, considering this is a sport car. They’re not terribly roomy, but they have their own sets of climate controls, and the rear seatback folds down for more storage space. It’s not often you come across a sport car that thinks of utility features like being able to pack a larger suitcase, but part of luxury is having your car do whatever you need it to do. Audi delivers on that desire with aplomb.

If you’re looking for extra fancy features, we can hardly think of a one that the Audi S5 has left out: it comes with power heated exterior mirrors, tri-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, electronic parking brake, rain-sensing wipers, xenon headlamps, 19-inch alloy wheels, foglamps, Bluetooth, and Multi Media Interface with an extremely convenient control system mounted on either the console or the steering wheel. And that’s just standard – upgrade to a higher trim level and features like navigation systems, a Bang & Olufsen sound system, driver memory functions and more are available.

Short story: when it comes to luxury cars, the Audi S5 simply can’t be beat for looks, luxury or performance. There are cheaper cars, sure. But you weren’t looking for cheap – you were looking for priceless. You found it. Check out our latest Audi promotions at Holberts today.
