2018 Audi S5 Cabriolet:
Hot on the heels of the Audi A5 and S5 coupe comes the Cabriolet. In spite of being slightly larger, it is 40 kilograms lighter and it gets better power, which brings a more athletic drive. As before, getting topless takes 15 seconds and it can be accomplished at speeds of up to 50 km/h. With the acoustic convertible top up, the multi-layer design brings a much quieter ride than is expected from a fabric lid. However, when the top is closed the sightlines to the rear are tight. Yes, the camera helps, but it still leaves one second-guessing on the highway. However, drop the top into its cubby and things are just hunky dory. One of the improvements is the increased rear seat room. The 14-millimetre stretch in the wheelbase brings more knee space. While it is noticeable, the reality is when the front seats are close to being fully rearward, the rear seat legroom is at a premium — as with the coupe, the Cabriolet is a 2+2 and not a true four-seater. The plus is the 380-litre cargo capacity with the roof up. The good news is there is still 320 litres left when the top is stowed, which is enough for a couple of roller bags and room left over...

2018 Audi RS 5 Coupe:
In the second generation of the Audi RS5 Coupe, Audi Sport is presenting its first model to feature the current RS design idiom. Its all-new 2.9 TFSI bi-turbo engine produces 331 kW (450 hp) and delivers 600 Nm (442.5 lb-ft) of torque. The standard quattro drive distributes the power to all four wheels. "The new Audi RS5 Coupe is the gran turismo among the RS models from Audi Sport. The high-performance Coupe combines elegant aesthetics with high everyday usability. The car's V6 bi-turbo has been developed from the ground up and provides significantly more performance coupled with higher efficiency," said Stephan Winkelmann, CEO of Audi Sport GmbH, in describing the new model. The designers drew inspiration for the RS5 Coupe from the distinctive racing details of the Audi 90 quattro IMSA GTO. Massive air inlets with the honeycomb structure typical of RS models characterize the front end of the car. The Singleframe radiator grille is much wider and flatter than in the base model. Next to the headlights are additional lateral air intakes and outlets; tinted bezels differentiate the optional Matrix LED headlights. quattro blisters on the flanks emphasize the pronounced bulges over the wheel arches, which have been widened by 15 millimeters (0.6 in). As standard, these house 19-inch forged aluminum wheels, with 20-inch wheels available as an option. A sporty conclusion to the vehicle is provided by the RS-specific diffuser insert, the oval tailpipes of the RS exhaust system and a surface-mounted spoiler lip. With a length of 4,723 millimeters (185.9 in), the new Audi RS5 Coupe is 74 millimeters (2.9 in) longer than the previous model...
