Golfer Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 I have just done some calcs: IF the S5 is 1630Kg and produces 350BHP at the flywheel, 4.8Secs to 60 is about right. Now that is quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlot Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Its plenty of power for me. I would hope for 0-100 in under 12.5s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I wonder how much FSi improves performance figures as well over the V8 in our B6's John? With the data around they say the S5 will be near 5 second 0-62 but from what you are saying it is heavier then the B6 which is supposedly 5.6 second 0-62?

CarMad Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Weights for all models for those that want to know. S5 - 1630Kg A5 3.0 TDI Quattro - 1610kg A5 3.2 Quattro - 1535kg A5 3.2 - 1495kg A5 2.7 TDI - 1575kg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rottenbend Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 So it's official the S5 is lighter than the new M3 (despite all the hype about the superlight engine and its carbon roof). And the S5 has 4WD I love the new M3 but it looks like Audi have done a better job keeping the weight down (for once ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamD Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Something doesn't quite seem right about that.... you'd think with the superlight V8 and the carbon fibre roof the car would be bound to be lighter. Well done to Audi if they have made a lighter car WITH 4WD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rottenbend Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 In the small print it says the "unladen" weight is with a 90% tank fill. 68kg for the driver (skinny b*st*rd) and 7kg for luggage. I wonder how Audi get to their figure. Is there a standard when it comes to these things. Still rather have a white M3 coupe though with anthracite wheels...

CarMad Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Figure I've quoted is unladen weight without a driver. PDF with info attached above. 1137676-S5_quattro_Technical_Data_UK.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamD Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 I just found the 1630kg weight quoted as Curb weight the definition of which according to Wikipedia is : [ QUOTE ] Curb (kerb) weight is the total weight of a vehicle with standard equipment, all necessary operating consumables (such as motor oil and coolant), a full tank of fuel and not loaded with either passengers or cargo [/ QUOTE ] So looks like the M3 is a little bit lighter but there is not much in it....

CarMad Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 I've just checked and as an example for the RS4 it states 1650kg on the website but 1610kg on the technical PDF for the RS4. So maybe they are adding a driver at 40kg into the calc. Not sure whats included in the figure for the M3 ?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
