Default S5: quarter mile in 13.1 seconds....
How yummy? Last week, the boys took the S5 to the track and came back all giggly and wide-eyed. How does 0 to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds sound? The launch was high-drama, high-winding, sidestep-the-clutch stuff, but you can't argue with the resulting number. The S5 also laid down a quarter mile of 13.1 seconds at 105.2 mph. Yeeow. That's awfully quick for such a pretty, refined thing.


The S5 keeps the g's coming all around the friction circle. Stops from 60 mph take just 105 feet, and the S5 will burn around the skidpad at 0.90 g. Ooooohhh. Just imagine what the extra-potent RS5 will do . . .

that's quicker than the 335i (I believe) as quick as the RS4 (?).

I'd like to see a few more test times, but for one test that's great (!)

trap seems a little low for a 13.1 but it is AWD so it makes up for that with a great launch.

ok, so fast down low and then loses steam?
