Specifications
The Audi S5 engine 3.0-litre V6 TFSI turbocharged petrol is engineered to balance high performance with everyday usability. With a displacement of just under 3.0 litres, it delivers around 349 bhp and 500 Nm of torque, the latter available across a wide rev band, ensuring strong low-end pull and sustained mid-range acceleration. The hot-V layout, with a twin-scroll turbocharger positioned between the cylinder banks, significantly reduces turbo lag and improves thermal efficiency, while direct fuel injection and Audi’s valvelift system optimize combustion and valve timing for sharper throttle response.
Power is routed through an 8-speed Tiptronic automatic gearbox that provides smooth shifts during relaxed driving and quick, decisive changes under hard acceleration, working in tandem with the Quattro all-wheel-drive system’s rear-biased torque distribution for enhanced grip and cornering stability. Supplemented by efficiency technologies such as start-stop functionality and, in some markets, mild-hybrid assistance, the S5 engine offers a refined yet aggressive character, combining rapid 0–100 km/h performance with respectable fuel economy for a performance-oriented luxury coupe or sport back.
Engine Variants
Current Generation (approx. 2019–2025) – 3.0-litre V6 TFSI Petrol
The latest Audi S5 is powered by a 3.0-litre V6 TFSI turbocharged petrol engine producing between 349 and 362 hp with 500 Nm of torque. Featuring a hot-V turbo layout, direct injection, and mild-hybrid assistance in select markets, it delivers strong low-end response, smooth power delivery, and rapid acceleration while maintaining refined everyday drivability.
Current TDI Variant (Europe, 2019–2024) – 3.0-litre V6 TDI Diesel
The S5 TDI offered in Europe uses a 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel engine that emphasizes torque and efficiency, delivering around 700 Nm of torque alongside mild-hybrid technology and an electrically powered compressor. This setup provides instant throttle response, impressive in-gear acceleration, and excellent long-distance efficiency while retaining Quattro all-wheel-drive performance.
Previous Generation (B8/B8.5) – Supercharged V6 & Naturally Aspirated V8
Earlier S5 models were available with a 3.0-litre V6 TFSI featuring a supercharger, known for its linear power delivery and distinctive induction sound, as well as a 4.2-litre naturally aspirated FSI V8 that offered high-revving performance and a characterful exhaust note, making it one of the most emotionally engaging S5 powertrains.
