Audi A5 hits the streets online before the road legal version

As Geneva Auto Show approaches, different new models are announced, and in old fashion way, some pictures leak the web. Arguably, I consider a car the ultimate gadget these days, if you can afford it. That’s why today we show you the pictures of the forthcoming Audi A5, the first model from the 5 series.

The new A5 looks isn’t revolutionary in shape, it borrows heavily from other Audi models

The A5 is a sport coupe, that’s the best therm that describes it, and is meant to attach the market niche of BMW 6 series and Mercedes CL. You will get the A5 either with 6-speed manual or automatic transmission, or the hi-tech S-Tronic Direct Shift Gearbox, all coupled with a 4.2 litres V8 engine (other versions, both diesel and petrol, will be available shortly after launch). Competition for luxury just got stronger.
