Audi A5 is produced by the German automobile manufacturer since 2007 and if we’re talking about the latest model year, then we should mention that the 2012 Audi A5 is definitely something. With this model, the German automaker goes on with its departure from the outgoing design language the brand has come up with so far. Featuring the classic coupé proportions as well as an aggressive face, Audi A5 comes with just one engine option which is a 211 horsepower 2.0-liter DOHC engine with FSI direct-injection and a turbocharger.
