The world is excited as we have a glimpse of the new generation Audi S5 Sportback performing at the legendary Nurburgring. The film shows the car effortlessly passing through the tricky twists and turns which gives us an idea of what the vehicle will look like in the future and what it will be able to do.
Breaking away from the trend of vehicles, Audi is taking an approach with the S5 Sportback. While its numbered counterparts are set to go electric, the S5 will stick with its gas-powered engine. This decision positions the S5 as a combination of modern performance and traditional power.
As we can see from the spy photos, the design of the S5 has significantly evolved all around its body. The first sign of the remake is at its front facade, as it now features a Singleframe design along with sharper headlights that remind us of the upcoming A5 wagon. The grille has a mesh finish hinting at the wild nature of the S5. Although some details are still concealed by camouflage on this prototype prominent air vents indicate a commitment to aerodynamics and high performance.
Rear Elegance – OLED Lights and Quad Exhaust Pipes
Moving towards the back, the taillights take inspiration from the A4 model with the digital OLED rear light system. The quad exhaust pipes emphasize the S5 Sportback’s performance heritage, announcing a captivating blend of power and sophistication.
Stylish Wheels – Five Spoke Blade Design
The prototype showcases five-spoke blade-style wheels representing an evolution from the existing S5 wheels. This design choice reflects Audi’s commitment to timeless sophistication while embracing aesthetics.
Powertrain – Turbocharged V6 Symphony
Under the inconspicuous skin of the car resides a soul of the S5 Sportback – turbocharged V6. We can look forward to the come of the 3.0-liter V6 engine producing 349 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. Still, Audi does not stand still and the chances are high that the Germans will add some extras power to this engine to develop efficiency and performance.
Exciting Possibilities
Spy shots of the prototype have revealed a warning sticker hinting at electrification elements. While specifics remain unknown at this time, it is plausible that Audi is exploring ways to incorporate electrification into their powertrain aligning with the industry shift towards performance.
Anticipated Release
As the automotive industry races towards adopting power, the Audi S5 Sportback stands as a symbol of the enduring appeal of gasoline-driven performance. With the current A4 undergoing an update, there are expectations as well for the refreshed version of the S5 Sportback sooner than we might anticipate. Although some details are concealed by camouflage at the Nurburgring, it is certain that the release of the A5 Sportback will be closely followed by its S5 counterparts somewhere in the second quarter of 2024.

In a world captivated by whispers of vehicles, the new Audi S5 Sportback unleashes its voice with a turbocharged V6 engine.
