Performance and efficiency.The engine of the Audi S5 Sportback.
The Audi S5 Sportback is powered by a three-liter V6 with a mechanically driven supercharger. The supercharger sits in the 90 degree V formed by the banks of the cylinders and produces up to 0.8 bar of pressure. Two downstream intercoolers lower the temperature of the compressed intake air for improved filling of the combustion chambers.
The six-cylinder unit, which displaces 2,995 cc, embodies the Audi philosophy that performance and efficiency are not mutually exclusive but rather complement each other perfectly. The engine delivers a constant 440 Nm of torque between 2,900 and 5,300 rpm. The S5 Sportback sprints from zero to 100 km/h in only 5.4 seconds* and accelerates up to an electronically governed top speed of 250 km/h. The spontaneous response, the powerful thrust and sonorous sound make for a thrilling driving experience.
The supercharged V6 unit consumes only 9.4 liters* of fuel per 100 km on average – a top figure in this performance class.
