Vorsprung durch Technik.

Three words that express

the very essence of Audi.

Vorsprung durch Technik isn’t

a slogan. It’s our way of seeing

the world. It is the driving

force behind our history of

innovation that continues into

the 21st century. Indeed, many

technologies that Audi pioneered

remain in our cars today. Some

are milestones in the history of

the motorcar.

From our beginnings in 1899, to

the Auto Union team’s Grand Prix

successes in the 1930s and our

more recent wins at Le Mans, we

have always been at the forefront

of the motor industry.

Vorsprung durch Technik makes

us who we are. To see more of its

influence, just read on.

The Audi A5 Sportback continues our proud history of innovation.

It’s the first mid-size Sportback in the Audi

range, an exciting milestone in design. But

even in a pioneer like the A5 Sportback,

it’s rare to find such a balance of different

qualities. Its elegant lines and accentuated

wheel arches are influenced heavily by the

iconic A5 Coupé while it provides the comfort

and practicality of a larger family car. It also

comes with several different engine options

– TDI, FSI and TFSI – all incorporating fuel-

efficient direct-injection technology.

Efficiency

At Audi, doing less is something we’re trying

to do more of. We’re working to use less fuel,

release less CO

we’ve incorporated a number of more efficient

technologies into the Audi A5 Sportback.

Recuperation

When a vehicle brakes, the brake discs convert

the kinetic energy into thermal energy, which is

wasted as it cannot be used. With a recuperation

system, like the one in the Audi A5 Sportback, the

kinetic energy is converted into useful electrical

energy. The way it works is simple. While the car is

coasting or braking, the alternator voltage is raised

above the level of the basic electrical system, which

enables the alternator to generate electrical energy

and store it temporarily in the battery. When the

vehicle accelerates, this energy is used to relieve

the load on the alternator, resulting in a fuel

saving of 3%.

2 and waste less energy. It’s why

Automatic Start-Stop function

In heavy traffic, your car still uses fuel and releases

2, even when it’s stationary. The automatic

Start-Stop function counteracts this problem by

switching off the engine when your car comes to a

standstill. As soon as you touch the clutch, the car

restarts. In conjunction with TDI and TFSI, it helps

save 0.4 litres of fuel every 100km.

Efficiency programme

The Driver’s Information System in the Audi A5

Sportback is available with a special efficiency

programme, which offers up-to-the-minute advice

on ways you can improve fuel economy as you

drive. It also shows you which items in your car are

using energy, and how much they are using, so you

can make an informed choice about which ones to

switch off.

Engine

The A5 Sportback is available with a number of engine options:

2.0 TFSI, 3.2 FSI quattro®, 2.0 TDI and 3.0 TDI quattro®. They

all incorporate fuel-saving direct-injection technology, which has

played a major part in our unprecedented success at Le Mans.

The fuel is injected directly into the combustion chambers, so not

a drop is wasted. It was ideal on the racetrack, and it’s just as

effective on the road.

Transmission

The A5 Sportback comes with a 6-speed manual gearbox, or

you can opt for a 7-speed S tronic transmission, which uses

an innovative dual-clutch system. It means that while you’re

accelerating in third, it’s already pre-selecting fourth, so it

changes gear in just a few milliseconds without any interruption

in power. Alternatively, you can choose a 6-speed manual

transmission, which puts you in complete control of every gear

shift, for a flexible and rewarding drive.

quattro

It’s the technology that has given Audi the

edge on the racetrack ever since it was first

introduced over 25 years ago – a technology

that delivers ultimate control whilst

enhancing the sporty characteristics which

make the A5 Sportback so thrilling to drive.

It’s called quattro® permanent

all-wheel-drive.

The principle is simple: in the same way that

four brakes ensure better deceleration, four

permanently-driven wheels deliver better

acceleration and road-holding, pushing

or pulling the car as needed, for a driving

experience that’s both dynamic and safe.

In the A5 Sportback asymmetric dynamic

torque distribution continuously distributes

drive power between the front and rear

axles depending on weather conditions,

road surface and gradient, which increases

flexibility for an enhanced, sportier drive.
