Audi India has launched the new S5 Sportback at Rs 62.95 lakh, ex-Delhi and Mumbai. Powering the car is a 333PS supercharged 3.0 TFSI motor mated to a dual clutch transmission that Audi claims can do the 0-100kmph lap in just 5.1 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 250kmph while the claimed fuel efficiency is 12.3kmpl.
Audi has given the S5 engine start/stop for enhancing the fuel efficiency.
