Overview
The 2012 Audi S5 Coupe is a compact coupe offered in 3 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $53,900. For that price, it mainly competes with the BMW 335is Coupe, the Infiniti G IPL Coupe, and the Mercedes-Benz C 350 4Matic Coupe. Between 3 trims, the S5 Coupe offers a standalone powertrain option. It is a 4.2L V8 engine making 354 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque. However, there is a choice between a 6-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed automatic transmission. The S5 Coupe reaches 60 mph from zero in 4.9 seconds with the manual transmission, which gets pumped up to 4.6 seconds with the automatic. Depending on the powertrain, the S5 Coupe can manage a combined fuel economy of between 17 and 19 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 8 striking colors the S5 Coupe comes in really pull you towards itself.
