Audi S5 Sportback B8 (8T) Sedan (2010-2011)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Audi S5 Sportback B8 (Typ 8T) is a compact executive sedan in production from 2010 to 2011, whereupon it received a facelift. It was powered by a single supercharged V6 engine (mistakenly badged V6T) that displaced 3.0 liters.
Based on the B8 Audi S4 sedan, the S5 Sportback is the hunchback version that is less practical but more expensive. With the higher model number (25% better?), Audi was able to fool many consumers, even though the S4 was the superior car.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Audi S5 Sportback B8 comes with multi-link suspensions at all four corners. This provides the best cornering performance and tunability, at the expense of cost and a little bit of durability.
