So the S5 starts at $55k. 2017 Audi S5 First Drive - Autoblog

I would say the Q60 RS400 will be around $52/53k AWD. On paper, we have more power but what will that mean in the real world? We need to see if the new V6 single turbo engine that the S5 has is underrated as well. Also that new 8 speed might be a problem. Either for us or them, we wont know yet.

 

surprisingly, the S5 is 3560lbs ... looks like a lightweight compared to a Q60 ...

 

Lol, white and black both look good when clean, but hard to keep that way,lol.

 

Interesting, so the S5 uses a single turbo that is housed on the inside of the V. I know the Mercs did that on the new v8s but with a twin turbo set up. I want to see an inside mounted turbo engine really bad in person so I can analyze it. Like a W16, I just want to understand how it works!

 

S5 is nice, but only under warranty ....

 

Same with my previous cars. Especially the G35 coupe.

Pics......

 

Few observations which make the Coupe a bit iffy for me.

Certain angles make the grille look ridiculously large compared to the size of headlights/ rest of the components. It seems to only look good directly from the front.
Obscene use of chrome accents all around the car. Whatever happened to having a good mix of Luxury/Sportiness in an Infiniti?
Rear bumper reflector trim, the black wavy plastic specifically. Am I the only person that feels it ruins the entire look of the rear bumper? Everything flows except for that black trim...

Looking to replace my G37S coupe in a year or so, so ill be watching this model progress. I am hoping they will revise the transmission being offered into a DCT, and keep an eye out on how the engine/turbos will hold up.

 

The grill, with or without the small headlights overpowers the rest. On the opposite end, the integrated rear spoiler looks silly, an afterthought, and should be more aggressive looking. I guess integrated spoilers are the 'in' thing now though. And no, you're not the only one who thinks the rear reflector/black wavy plastic ruins the rear bumper. Useless! And, speaking of useless, the chrome 'gills' behind the front wheels. I'm asking, do they serve any purpose at all? If not, they should NOT be there. Decorative crap, same as with the '3.0t' emblem. No one cares, heck, most people won't/don't even know what that means. I realize it's fairly easily removed, but still. The most noticeable thing, which I like, is the fact that it is wider than the G37, which gives it a bit more aggressive appearance. Which is why a more aggressive spoiler would look better. I believe its overall lower in height as well. Taillights and headlights are nice, even that 'cut-in' look on the quarter window does not look as bad as I thought it did originally, well, except for the chrome. The best thing is the motor.

 

Man, that inverted Genesis rear quarter window Chrome piece is @ss ugly!

 

Thanks! Car looks awesome in white, but still think I'm leaning towards platinum or a long shot, iridium! The wheels look very nice and like the way the front looks. Only thing I would change is to add a resr spoiler, not too crazy about the integrated spoiler, but I can fix that small issue,lol!

 

Nice carbon-fiber lip...

 

Are these on sale now? How did your dealership get this one so early?

 

They are weeks from being released, if not sooner. Most are being prepped at the dealer to be placed on the lot. Infiniti said the coupe models will be released in the middle of summer.
