Slate to compete with BMW’s 3-series 2 door and Mercedes Benz’s CLK, Audi venture into the luxury personal coupe market with the new A5.

Base US model will have the 3.2-liter V6 capable of 262 horsepower and 243 pound-feet of torque. Both a six-speed manual and a CVT (continuously variable transmission) will be available, as will front-wheel-drive and Quattro all-wheel-drive configurations. This should propel the A5 from 0-60 in 6 seconds.

The S5 will have the 4.2L V8 from the S4 sedan, making 350bHP and 325 ft-lb of torque. Audi estimates the new A5 should achieve 0-60 within 5.1 seconds.

Both A5 and S5 will be introduced in the upcoming Geneva Auto Show.
