Lightweight High-End Coupes

The Latest Audi Coupe is Lighter and Faster Than Ever

— June 10, 2016 — Autos
The A4 Audi coupe has persistently been lauded as a wonderfully practical and economical vehicle, but its successor the A5 Coupe takes things to a different level altogether by bringing together a gorgeous appearance and high-tech performance features.

This particular vehicle is lighter than ever before, weighing in at only 132 pounds thanks to liberal and intelligent use of innovative steel and aluminum materials. As far as the engine is concerned, this particular vehicle comes equipped with a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine that is capable of pumping out as much as 354 horsepower, which is directed via an eight-speed gearbox. This allows the vehicle to zoom along from zero to 100 km/h in only 4.7 seconds.

The latest Audi coupe is a wonderful example of what happens when a turbocharged engine and a delicately crafted exterior design come together in one automotive package.
