Audi A5
All A5 coupes are equipped with a 2.0L turbo and either a 6-speed manual transmission or an 8-speed Tiptronic automatic. The convertible uses the same engine, but it’s only available with the automatic gearbox. And finally, the S5 coupe features a 4.2L V8 while the S5 convertible has a 3.0L V8. Later this year, however, new replacement engines will be released for the S5.
