The First generation Audi A5 is the third coupe in Audi's line-up, next to the second-generation TT and the R8. The A5 has adopted many design elements of the Nuvolari quattro concept. The A5 debuted with the 3.2-litre FSI V6 engine delivering 265 PS (195 kW; 261 hp). The Audi A5 marks Audi's return to the mid-size coupé market since the (B3/B4) Audi 80-based Coupe model ended production in 1996. The B6/B7 A4 spawned a convertible variant but not a coupé. For the fourth generation A4 (B8), Audi decided to spin off the cabriolet and new coupé into a nameplate of its own as the A5. The new Audi A5 were based on the Audi MLP platform (Modular Longitudinal Platform) which is planned to underpin the next generation A6 and A8.It is slotted between the audi a4 and larger audi a6 The platform is notable for its departure from Audi's trademark "overhung" engine mounting position over the front axle, in favour of the powertrain being located behind the front axle - in an effort to achieve a more even weight distribution (52:48)between the front and rear wheels.

An extraordinary attention to detail sets the A5 apart from the pack. Every interior aspect has been carefully considered; even the aluminum trim has been seamlessly integrated into the body. Open air afi cionados will fi nd that nothing has been lost in translation with the cabriolet: the acoustic soft top keeps noise to a minimum when closed, and can open in a mere 15 seconds at driving speeds up to 50 km/h. Further, a set of rear folding seats, an industry fi rst in a cabriolet, ensures plenty of room
for additional cargo.
