A newly developed Turbo FSI petrol engine available from this week for the Audi A5 provides the sought-after coupe with yet another choice blend of pace and pence-per-mile efficiency. The new 211PS A5 2.0 TFSI can be ordered in either front-wheel-drive or quattro permanent all-wheel-drive forms for £28,760 OTR or £30,285 OTR, and will reach its first UK customers in August.
My guess is that it's only a matter of time, but no Audi hasn't said anything yet. For now it's not in the fall order guides, and since we're having supply issues based on our current dollar situation anyway, I'm guessing they're going to focus more on the more profitable 3.2 and S5 for now. I'm guessing earliest is a mid-year addition next winter.
Give me either a 2.0T quattro or a 3.0 TDI quattro, either one with 6MT, and I'll be running to the dealership with my deposit ... as lovely as the S5 is, I'm not going to buy a car with a V8.
Hopefully Audi will realize that the market really is changing, even the luxury market.
