Recommended Posts

The B6 S4 Avant with a manual box did 13.2s (I think) for Autocar. The S5 is about 80kg lighter and has an extra 10PS which is about 8% more on the power to weight. I would have guessed about 12.5s but someone on here posted that the Yanks do their tests one up rather than two up. With an empty (ish) fuel tank it might be poss.

That would prohaps explain it, the S5 does not "Feel" quick though.

thats very true, when i test drove it, it didnt feel as quick as the M3 i had, and on paper they are supposed to be, (well 0.1 sec different 0-60), which i dont think you would feel..:)
