When this car was launched two years ago, it was considered by many as one of the most elegant automobiles on the market. Besides being available in the A5 and S5 versions, it offered performances and a driving experience on par with the reputation of the brand. This year, the A5 family is augmented by a soft-roofed convertible version that uses the same mechanical components as the coupe, except for the S5 convertible, which uses a 333 horsepower 3.0-litre turbo V6.
