Audi S5 Performance Overview
Audi’s S5 has defined the mid-range performance side of the A5 line across 18 verified tests spanning 2008 to 2025, with measured 0-60 results from 5.5 to 4.3 seconds. The first-generation 8T (2008-2016) established the car’s baseline with gasoline power only, beginning with a 2008 Quattro Coupe at 4.5 seconds to 60 mph, while later 8T examples such as the 2015 Prestige Quattro Coupe repeated that 4.5-second mark. Across this era, output ranged from 333 to 430 hp, with naturally aspirated and supercharged engines both represented.
The second-generation F5, introduced for 2018, shifted to the turbocharged EA839 V6 and tightened the model’s performance window. Its quickest recorded launch came immediately: the 2018 Prestige Quattro Coupe (S Sport) reached 60 mph in 4.3 seconds, still the model’s best result in the data. Other F5 variants stayed close, including the 2020 Prestige Quattro Cabriolet (S Sport) at 4.4 seconds and the 2025 Prestige Quattro Sedan-Liftback (edition one) at 4.4 seconds, the same car posting the quickest quarter-mile at 12.9 seconds at 107.1 mph. Today, the S5 remains a gasoline-only performance model, with the F5 generation averaging 4.46 seconds to 60 mph across tested coupe, cabriolet, and liftback forms.

How we verify Audi S5 performance data
Records and averages on this page cover verified production runs only; modified and prototype results are listed by year but never folded into them. 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.
