How we verify Audi S5 performance data
We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Audi S5 trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.

Audi S5 performance FAQs
6 questions
The quickest Audi S5 on record is the 2018 Audi S5 Prestige Quattro Coupe (S Sport), which runs 0–60 mph in 4.3 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 12.90 seconds at 107.0 mph.
The slowest recorded Audi S5 is the 2008 Audi S5 Quattro Coupe, which takes 5.5 seconds to reach 60 mph and runs 14.20 seconds in the quarter.
Averaged across all 18 verified runs, an Audi S5 reaches 60 mph in 4.69 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 13.29 seconds at roughly 105.4 mph.
We have verified test data for 9 model years. Each year shows every recorded run, the publication that measured it, and the trim-level details.
Every figure is sourced from published road tests by Car and Driver, Motor Trend and Motor Week. We don't use manufacturer claims — only independently timed runs — so the numbers reflect what the car actually does.
0–60 and quarter-mile results depend on driver technique, ambient temperature, tire condition, road surface, altitude, and testing instrumentation. A published figure is a single sample, not an absolute — which is why we show the range of verified runs rather than one number.

0–60 and quarter-mile times vary with driver, weather, tire temperature, and wear. We collect every verified run we can find — so you see the range of what an Audi S5 can do, not a single marketing claim.
