2012 Detroit Auto Show

Audi S5( Audi )
If the RS5 is too much pepper in your omelet, consider the refreshed S5 coupe and convertible. The earlier version of the S5 saw the convertible with a 3.0-liter, supercharged V-6 while the coupe got a V-8. For 2013, both S5 models get the V-6, likely to make room in Audi's lineup for the RS5. Output on the S5s is still 333 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque. That power is routed to all four wheels (Audi's quattro system is standard) via a six-speed manual transmission on the coupe and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission on the convertible. The dual-clutch is an option on the coupe.
