When open, the Audi A5 cabriolet top folds down so effectively is very little used space on the body – leaving 320 liters (11/30 cubic ft) of volume does not use space, clear the best value in the field of competitors. Software on your computer automatically reduced when the open top. Equally useful is the fold down seat backrest and large over the last between the time and the interior, which increases the storage volume to 750 liters a tha (26.49 cubic ft).

Round the comfortable character of the four-seater’s interior is automatic seatbelt extenders for the front seats and the options available first-level heating. A special code on the options that reduce solar heating. The Audi A5 cabriolet seats four comfortably. The refined ambience combined with perfect ergonomics to download an atmosphere fun luxury. Extremely high power and choice of steels reinforcements body rigidity and safety crash.

The Audi A5 cabriolet made with three gasoline and two diesel engines ranging between 132 kW (180 hp) and 195 kW (265 hp). All five power plants fueled through direct injection fuel; four of them use turbocharging. Available powertrains include a six-speed manual and continuously variable multitronic and the new, lightning-fast seven-speed S tronic. Also-the front wheels to drive, Audi offers permanent quattro all-wheel drive to power the engine higher. Creativity sports section, which variably distributes power between the rear wheels, the options available to the larger dynamics, even joy and drive.

Attractive dynamics: Audi drive select

In addition to perfect this technology package is the Audi drive select vehicle dynamics system allows the driver to select between three different maps of controlling the characteristics of the fuel feed , the change points of the seven-speed S tronic or multitronic, and promote the provision by servotronic steering system. If vehicle is equipped with the MMI interface, a fourth, Programmable free map is available. Additional technologies include the adaptive control of shock absorbers-rate variables and dynamic direction.

New Audi A5 cabriolet feature rich equipment, in addition to the fully automatic top, including an automatic climate-control system and a CD sound system. Highlights from the long list of options including the improvement of driver support systems and MMI operating the new interface, attractive but provides many features navigation and entertainment.

As dynamic, open-top Audi S5 model new production series, the S5 cabriolet occupies a position very special. The three-liter TFSI – V6 with a mechanical supercharger – unfolds the 245 kW (333 hp) and 440 Nm (324.53 lb-ft) of Torque with impressive results: It tenaciously to meet throttle and bring the Results of great driving. The quattro drivetrain, a sport suspension with 18-inch wheels and some special equipment information underscore the athletic character of the Audi S5 cabriolet.

External design

Open first bought the car with the center – they are supposed to express the personality of the drivers: their independence, their individuality and joie de vivre. Design is another important factor in the emotions, decisions, and Audi under the leadership in this area again with Audi A5 cabriolet. It appeals to children, are highly trained customer with a good income and fun lifestyle.

The Audi A5 cabriolet combine the brand’s progress with fascination Styling by an open-top car. Measuring 4.63 m (15.19 ft) long and 1.85 m (6.07 ft) wide, but only 1.38 m (4.53 ft) tall, the four-seater Audi wraps the sportiest proportions in classes in classic elegance. The stretched hood, long 2.75 m (9.02 ft) wheelbase, the line and sharpness of the shoulder muscles sweep contour drawing a distinctive Silhouette. The extended tracking near 1.60 m (5.25 ft) before and after, big wheel, the anticipation is over, the tail and carving expressive, curving surfaces interact to create a harmonious whole.

Styling of the first is dominated by the single-frame Grille bordered by a strip of anodized aluminum. The bar is painted gray stone in two models top V6 – the 3.2 FSI and 3.0 TDI – these are high-japan. Three air intakes – one of the centers below Grille – emphasize the width of the front end.

Design by Exquisite headlights making them look similar to the technique of the arts. A plastic-coated gas strut with chromium – the “wings” – separates individual lights Chambers. High performance of the day the lights Xenon plus headlights including a sickle-shaped strip of eight 1 Watt, high-performance LEDs. Halogen fog lamps are standard on all models, and provide Audi adaptive light dynamic cornering, lights as an option.

Line, surface and surrounding the edges – an athletic sculpture

Two lateral lines extend beyond the roof underscore the presence of the single-frame Grille. Aluminum molding lends a high ball into the windshield frame, and LED blinkers are integrated into the new outside mirrors. As with all Audi, the flanks are marked by all surfaces and two light-reflecting edges – dynamic line above the side sills and tornado line below the windows. The broad, muscular shoulders arched, the wheel arches are pronounced, and the wheels – forged 17-inch wheels are standard – underscore the power of the Audi A5 cabriolet.

Horizontal lines and a distinctly colored diffuser insert emphasize the broad playing out of the tail. The relatives brought an unobtrusive lip spoiler. LEDs create light in a distinctive taillights, ring-shaped light patterns. All models feature a dual exhaust system, with engines larger version of a tailpipe left and right. Even TDI engine comes with straight pipes – a province has no particulate emissions thanks to the standard diesel particulate filter (DPF).

The Audi A5 cabriolet is available in 15 colors: Aruba blue, pearl effect, Brilliant Red, Brilliant Black, silver stone, metal, Garnet Red, pearl effect, Ibis White, Meteor Gray, pearl effect, Quartz Gray, metallic, Phantom Black, pearl effect, Sahara Silver, metal, Blue Sphere, metal and Deep Sea Blue, pearl effect. Color is Amethyst Gray, metal, Aurum Beige, Metal and Teak Brown, metal.

The skin on the outside is an option available in four colors, blue, brown, red and black, which forms attractive combination with painted shades.

The conversion top

The fabrics with large, flat glass window next to the profile fits design of elegant Audi A5 cabriolet perfect and more harmonious than the roofs can folding steel. It is also very light, thus reducing weight and reduce the total center of risk. A metal top would have brought more problems with it that fundamentally rejects Audi – broad, obvious can match the roof and rear areas and reduce body space.

The software includes the top three classes: includes top, cushioning pad and headliner. In the options top acoustic, which reduces wind noise almost to the level of a sedan, this is replaced by a porous layer and 15 mm (0.59 in) in thickness. The acoustic top comes with an LED light for the rear seats – a feature usually only found in luxury conversion.

A high pressure, hydraulic pump operating and four cylinders that move first actuated when a pushbutton on the console center, or on the Advanced option is depressed. Take 15 seconds to open the top, 17 seconds to close it. Both actions can be performed while driving at speeds up to 50 km / h (31/07 mph) – a big city convenience in traffic or on roads countries.

Large trunk: 320 liters (11/30 cubic ft) with open top

When open, the top is retracted below include fixed, but it is a very compact folded down, trifold configuration. Storage time of it, made a strong woven mat and adorned with aluminum trim, accounting for only a few centimeters in height and only 60 liters (2 / 12 cubic ft) of 380 liters (13.42 cubic ft) of luggage space. Remaining 320 liters (11/30 cubic ft) with open top is by far best in class. Rivals equipped with a folding steel roofs provide at least 100 liters (3.53 cubic ft) less.

Some smart solutions that bring convenience for Audi A5 cabriolet. Drivers do not have to do anything before you open the top – the head and reduce it automatically to the body. If there are not enough rooms, a annunciates a sensor alarm and the top does not open. A transition home-contact one of the functions also make it very easy to actuate four electric windows at the same time.

The division after 50:50 folding seats backrests can be easily unlocked by actuating two levers in the body. Pretensioned with streams, they will automatically drop in the cushions. The standard switch is 70 centimeters (27.56 in) wide and 30 centimeters (11.81 in) high. Load space behind the front seatbacks are 1.76 meters, so (5.77ft) long, provides a storage volume of total 750 liters (26.49 cubic ft). A ski bag is optional, a 12-volt plug in to the standards body.

Behind the body with electric lock lid reveals a large open enough to stow two golf bags. Also low in each bốc dỡ make it easier. The standard wind deflector, which is stretched over the rear seats that can be stored in the spare-wheel well when not in use, providing options, compact temporary spare wheel is not on board .

Body

Like all Audi, the A5 cabriolet body with a very rigid. This is the main reason for exactly playing processing, superior ride comfort and high safety, crash. Oscillations any difficulty or vibrations may be received in an open A5, not guidance, even at the wheel or on the seats – a comfortable points. ”

Some technology improvements are used in the construction of agency-in-white. One example is the element extremely high strength steels, the most in the Audi fabricates using hot forming. Combined with very low weight high tensile strength, they are used in the side sills, the longitudinal member, the center tunnel, the B-pillars and front cross member.

A full complement of the reinforcement compensates for the absence of a solid roofs. In the previous section, Struts diagonal run from the sills to the auxiliary frame to suspension mounts. In the following, similar components are integrated under the floor of the trunk. Sills are the side especially thick walls. The hydroformed tube that the strengthening of A-pillars from inside is high, especially strength and ability to bear very high loads.

An important component is a solid frame with integrated aluminum roll-over protection is between the body and cabin. When a Rollover threats, aluminum braces Electric Actuators strongly with the pretensioned spring, which shoot up fast as lightning behind the rear headrests and lock into place, such expansion, of not living.

Seat mounted airbags and Thorax with a volume of 18 liters (0.64 cubic ft) to provide protection in case of a party affected; full-size airbags protect the driver and passengers sit in front -in the case of a frontal collision. Because the control unit knows seating position, it can activate adaptively belts and airbags to provide possible protection for the large and small customers in all types of collisions. In an after-end collision, the chief restraint system averts the danger of whiplash injuries.

The front fenders of the Audi A5 cabriolet are made of lightweight aluminum to reduce weight and optimize axle load distribution. Sophisticated as details full underbody attached to improve air flow and thus the acoustics and also fuel efficiency. With the top closed, four-seater with frontal drag coefficient of 0.31 and a surface area of 2.17 m² (23.36 sq ft).

The interior decoration

With the long wheelbase of 2.75 meters (9.02 ft), the Audi A5 cabriolet provide roomy interior; open four-seater has room for long trips. It is also true for the following sportily sculpted seats, may be provided with an optional console center with a soft drink with two cups keep and maintain insurance roller, including an archive of the under the seat in front of passengers.

The front seats are sculpted and sportily low for perfect ergonomics, providing support and perfect control. Electric seatbelt extenders provide assistance with fastening belts. Integrated into the B-pillars, they will automatically move when ignition is activated. The seatbelt extender available returns to its position once the tab engages the buckle.

Audi provides a broad range of options seats for special requirements – sport seats with extendable thigh rest and lumbar support, all the adjustments and electric heating, including heating for the seats back as unique. In high-end control climate-comfort seats, little fans and the auxiliary heat to ensure the comfort.

A luxury features integrated into the control climate-comfort seats, is the heat level. A three-level adjustment fans through blows warm air ducts on the topside of the seatback to warm the back of the head and neck. Neck level heating, which also has seats for sports, prolongs the open air season.

A special feature is optional leather upholstery: Special mạ inhibits solar heating in the Audi A5 cabriolet is parked in the sun with the top down. This hot resistance function reflects warming infrared radiation and thereby reduce the temperature of the surface up to 20 degrees Celcius (68 degrees Fahrenheit).

Audi offers a choice of a seat coverings for all seats, from the standard Arcade fabric to a combination of leather and Alcantara software to a particular version of American Nappa leather . Seven colors available: black, silver lunar, gray, beige Luxor, cardamom beige, cinnamon and red. Inlays to standards in Micrometallic platinum, aluminum, burl walnut, ash Laurel available as options. The headliner is available in three colors: black, silver and the star light beige.

Flows luxury – the interior design

To the flow, perfect ergonomics, advanced materials and uncompromising craftsmanship characterize internal. Like all of Audi, interior decoration is a treat for the senses – for ear, nose, fingertips and of course in the eye. The teardrop-shaped around the particular have become modern classics. The center high mounted onboard screen is standard equipment. Sculpted the cockpit is oriented toward the driver. Flow link it to the center tunnel and door linings.

If a customer has ordered, or one of two navigation systems, it comes with the operating system sophisticated MMI. With its intuitive, easy to understand menu system, press the button and the center control knob on the tunnel, it is the best solution on the market.

The engine

Audi has the best use of technology improvements to the engine. All in gasoline and diesel engines available first for the Audi A5 cabriolet use common rail direct injection. They are impressive proof that efficiency and dynamics are different and complementary. Audi demonstrated the potency of this philosophy in sports car for some years. At Le Mans 24 hours, the toughest test all of them, Audi R8 and R10 TDI race car has claimed eight overall victories in nine years.

Forces in the gasoline Audi A5 cabriolet is 3.2 FSI. Installed in the beginning is to improve the Audi valvelift system (AVS) – a different technology in the machine’s Intake valves in two stages as a function of load and engine speed. The AVS improve gas exchange and adjust the volume of air Intake many more. The throttle can still wide open, even in the load, reducing throttle loss. Torque and power increase, but some also allow a gearing, improved fuel consumption is up to ten percent.

Displacing 3,197 cc, the V6 provides 195 kW (265 hp) and 330 Nm (243.4 lb-ft) between 3000 and 5000 rpm. With the front wheel-drive and the multitronic, it accelerates the Audi A5 cabriolet to 100 km / h (62.14 mph) in 6.9 seconds on the way to a top speed of 246 km / h (152.86 mph ). Fuel consumption average it is only 8.6 liters / 100 km (27.35 U.S. mpg). quattro all-wheel combined with new drivers, seven-speed S tronic available as an option.

The 2.0 TFSI and displacing 1,984 cc engine is a high technology. Four-cylinder fuel combines FSI direct injection with turbocharging crowns and this combined with Audi valvelift system. Here the management of open AVS variable exhaust valves, reduce flushing losses in Combustion chamber and ensure an optimal flow for the exhaust gas turbocharger. The effects are similar in V6 – increased performance and lower consumption. A key feature of the four-cylinder two balance shafts, which is a major factor for Smoothness.

Two versions of the 2.0 TFSI is available. In entry-level version, which comes with front wheel-drive and the multitronic, the turbocharged four-cylinder unit provides 132 kW (180 hp) and 320 Nm (236.02 lb-ft), with strong Torque available between 1500 and 3900 rpm. This version completed standard Sprint in 8.9 seconds and a top speed of 219 km / h (136.08 mph). Average fuel efficiency is an excellent 7.4 l/100 km (31.79 U.S. mpg).

More powerful version of the 2.0 TFSI delivers an impressive 155 kW (211 hp) and 350 Nm (258.15 lb-ft) on a broader scope, even between 1500 and 4200 rpm. It is available with three powertrain versions: with quattro all-wheel drive combined with a seven-speed, S tronic dual-foot transmission, and the front wheel-drive and one or a six-speed multitronic transmission loaded manually. In the later version, the Audi A5 cabriolet achieving effective that only a few years ago there have been worthy of a six-cylinder version: It sprints to 100 km / h (62.14 mph) in 7.5 seconds and has a top speed of 241 km / h (149.75 mph), making the fuel consumption averaged only 6.8 l/100 km (34.59 U.S. mpg) all the more astonishing.

TDI from Audi – the world’s most successful efficiency technology

The TDI engine, which provides a unique combination of power and economy in fuel, the world leading performance of their technology development since 1989. Two V6 diesels in the Audi A5 cabriolet also set standards in the classroom. With characters designed, Torque and consistent run Smoothness, they represent a modern, intelligent type of sportiness.

Two four-valve engine, part of the modern family of V-engine from Audi, features lightweight, yet high-power crank case. A number of significant measures to reduce the complicated internal friction. Quickly and accurately to the small injection, the Piezo injectors in the common rail system injected ensure a “soft” Combustion process benefits not only the engine but also the acoustics of raw emissions. Thanks to sophisticated exhaust gas recirculation, both V6 TDI engine, meet the limitations of the standard Euro 5.

Displacing 2,967 cc, three-liter engine generating 176 kW (240 hp) and applies 500 Nm (368.78 lb-ft) of Torque to the crankshaft. The Sprint from zero to 100 km / h (62.14 mph) takes 6.4 seconds. Top speed is 247 km / h (153.48 mph). This top-of-the-line diesel, which powers all four wheels through a seven-speed S tronic transmission, consumption of only 6.8 km liters/100 (34.59 U.S. mpg).

TDI second program is even thriftier: The 2.7-liter with 140 kW (190 hp) and 400 Nm (295.02 lb-ft) between 1400 and 3250 rpm boasts fuel consumption only average 6.2 km liters/100 (37.94 U.S. mpg). The smaller of the two diesels, which displaces 2,698 cc, is paired with the front wheel-drive and a guided transfer. The important data: 0 – 100 km / h (62.14 mph) and a top speed of 230 km / h (142.92 mph).

The entry-level diesel engine is 125 kW (170 hp) 2.0 TDI. Fuel consumption average is only a 5.6 liters/100 km (42 mpg U.S.) (preliminary figures). Displacing the four-cylinder 1968 cc combine driving enjoyment and refinement high efficiency.

Dual cam shafts 16 actuate valves in cylinder head. Common rail injectors managed by the most advanced controllers on the market. Modern Piezo injectors with eight-hole nozzles are also used in the 2.0 TDI. Modulation fined up to five injections per cycle significantly reduces noise. The single-piston high pressure to develop a system of pump pressure 1800 bar.

The fan belt drive is designed to acoustically; the shroud now includes many noise-damping structure. Two balance shafts reduce the vibrations generated in the crankshaft drive.

Four-cylinder includes some special features to improve performance. The turbocharger uses vanes adjust to the rapidly by Torque, and a pulsation damper reduces its vibrations. Machine control the position of the catheter in swirlers Intake to adjust the inflow of air to the prevailing speed and load.

Optimizing management and modified piston geometry air results in a high engine, maximum speed 5000 rpm and improved thermodynamics in Combustion Chambers. Two-liter TDI can be operated with an exhaust gas recirculation rate of up to 60 percent, resulting in cooler and leaner Combustion nitrogen oxide and lower levels in the raw emissions. The EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) units provide high performance, cooling.

The refined 2.0 TDI generating 125 kW (170 hp) and offers 350 Nm (258.15 lb-ft) of Torque to the crankshaft between 1,750 and 2,500 rpm. It suffices to launch the Audi A5 cabriolet to 100 km / h (62.14 mph) in 9.3 seconds and a top speed of 222 km / h (137.94 mph).

Effective door-and-go traffic: new start-stop system

Sporty power and efficiency, fuel is not in conflict Audi – quite the contrary: A necessitates other. The brand with the four rounds were also used new technologies from the modular efficiency system in the Audi A5 cabriolet. Cars equipped with the six-speed hand transmission associated with one engine 2.0 TFSI engine or 2.0 TDI comes with a new solution as standard equipment: a high performance, start of system.

When Audi A5 cabriolet to a stop at a traffic light or a communication, the shift lever is neutral and the driver’s foot was taken out of legs, the system’s control unit shuts down the institutions. A notice this effect will be displayed in the display of the center instrument cluster. On a hill or lowered, maintaining the system pressure brake brakes automatically, unless the slope greater than 10 percent.

Động cơ sẽ khởi động lại ngay sau khi người lái xe đẩy các chân để xuống sàn nhà. Một đặc biệt là đi phát triển mạnh mẽ của Audi hoàn tất quá trình này trong khoảng hai-tenths của một thứ hai, nhanh hơn, êm và thoải mái hơn so với cạnh tranh. Các crankshaft chỉ có nhiều nhất để chuyển một phần tư của một lần lượt, trước khi xảy ra lần đầu tiên ignition. Trong khi đặt các trình điều khiển xe trong gear, động cơ tốc độ lên; khi các phiên bản trình điều khiển các chân, nó đã đạt tốc độ nhàn rỗi.

Audi kết hợp của nó bắt đầu ngừng mạnh mẽ, đặc biệt với hệ thống pin có chức năng tiếp tục, ngay cả ở ngoài trời nhiệt độ rất thấp. Chỉ trong khoảng thời gian warmup ban đầu của công cụ là pin không hoạt động nào được nêu ra để cho động cơ dầu và trang trí nội thất có thể được đưa đến nhiệt độ nhanh hơn. Người lái xe có thể tắt các hệ thống cửa bắt đầu vào bất kỳ lúc nào với một nút nhấn.

Các cửa hệ thống bắt đầu làm giảm tiêu thụ của liters/100 khoảng 0,2 km, trong đó tương ứng với khoảng năm gram CO2/km (8,05 g / mile).

Trợ lý hiệu quả cho các lái xe: các trình điều khiển hệ thống thông tin mới

Mới bắt đầu đến cửa hệ thống tiêu chuẩn khác với các công nghệ mới từ các hiệu quả hệ thống modular – trình điều khiển hệ thống thông tin có hiệu quả chương trình. Nó thể hiện tất cả các dữ liệu có liên quan đến nhiên liệu hiệu quả trên các trung tâm màn hình. Một trong những chức năng chính của nó là mới được thiết kế chỉ gearshift. Nó dùng kích cỡ và màu sắc khác nhau để prominently cho biết khi nó làm cho tinh thần để thay đổi Gears.

Mới hiệu quả chương trình liên tục phân tích dòng chảy của năng lượng trong xe và hiển thị thông tin chi tiết về ảnh hưởng tiêu thụ điện lớn hơn của người tiêu dùng là điều không khí hoặc cửa sổ sau defroster, mà có thể được càng cao là một trong những lít cho mỗi 100 km. Hệ thống cung cấp cho người lái xe lời khuyên thực tế, nếu cần thiết, chẳng hạn như để đóng các cửa sổ, trong khi không khí được điều trên. Hiện tại và tiêu thụ trung bình được hiển thị tại một nút nhấn, hiển thị của họ interdependence trong nháy mắt.

Các trình điều khiển hệ thống thông tin mới với các chương trình sẽ đem lại hiệu quả tích phía sau modular hiệu quả hệ thống từ Audi vào cuộc sống. Nó là một giải pháp đó là niềm vui cho người lái xe và cũng có thể phục vụ như một lời nhắc nhở về trách nhiệm của người lái xe: Khoảng 30 phần trăm của một chiếc xe của người tiêu thụ nhiên liệu là một chức năng của lái xe phong cách.

Năng lượng phục hồi: các hệ thống recuperation

Giống như nhiều mô hình sản xuất Audi, các Audi A5 Cabriolet được trang bị với một recuperation hệ thống sử dụng năng lượng trong thời gian Kinetic deceleration. Các alternator tăng trung điện áp của nó trong quá trình coasting và braking giai đoạn. Đó là sau đó có thể để chuyển đổi năng lượng Kinetic vào năng lượng điện đã được lưu giữ trong pin. Khi chuyển đổi accelerates lại, các nguồn cấp dữ liệu pin năng lượng trở lại, do đó làm giảm tải trên alternator.

Các drivetrain

Audi trang bị cho Audi A5 Cabriolet với ba khác nhau drivetrains. Các 2,0 TFSI với 155 kW (211 hp) và 2,7 TDI đến sáu tiêu chuẩn với một tốc độ truyền tải có hướng dẫn ngắn throws gear thay đổi cho chính xác. Nội friction là tối thiểu. Hai hai-lít và động cơ 3,2 FSI có thể được trang bị những multitronic tự động liên tục biến chuyển. Nó kết hợp các hoạt động trơn tru, cao hiệu quả và tiết kiệm nhiên liệu-gear ratios. Khi tốc độ là những tinh túy, multitronic cung cấp một chế độ thể dục thể thao và một chế độ thủ công với mô phỏng tám gear ratios.

Audi cung cấp bảy tốc độ S-tronic như là một lựa chọn cho các mạnh mẽ hơn trong hai động cơ 2,0 TFSI và 3,2 FSI. Đây là tiêu chuẩn với 3,0 TDI. Giống như một hộp số cơ khí, S tronic sử dụng cặp gear bánh xe để tạo ra bảy gear ratios.

Những cải tiến, công nghệ cao đôi chân truyền Gears thay đổi trong chỉ vài hundredths của một thứ hai và để serenely rằng các trình điều khiển thông báo barely. Hiệu quả của nó cao và dài lệ trong bảy gear có một tác dụng tích cực về tiêu thụ. Trình điều khiển có thể đặt bảy tốc độ S-tronic Gears tự động để thay đổi hoặc họ có thể quyết định cho mình khi để thay đổi Gears, kể cả bằng cách sử dụng các ca paddles trên vô lăng.

Mới bảy tốc độ S-tronic được hai riêng biệt được truyền đi và tích hợp đa hai clutches rằng kiểm soát các Gears. Các chân nằm ở bên ngoài chỉ đạo Torque thông qua một thân cây rắn vào gear bánh xe cho lẻ Gears số 1, 3, 5 và 7.

Đáp hollow shaft rotates rắn xung quanh thân cây. Nó được kết nối với chân bên trong các chân lắp ráp và kiểm soát các gear cho bánh xe, ngay cả số Gears-2, 4, 6, cũng như đảo ngược.

Cả hai cấu trúc được truyền liên tục hoạt động, nhưng chỉ là một trong những kết nối với một trong những động cơ ở bất kỳ thời điểm nào. Ví dụ, khi người lái xe trong accelerates gear thứ ba, thứ tư gear đã tham gia vào các cấu trúc thứ hai, truyền tải. Sự thay đổi xảy ra gear bằng cách thay đổi clutches. Những mô-đun mechatronic, một đơn vị gồm Cty khiển và thuỷ lực Actuators, kiểm soát tất cả các thay đổi và chân với các hoạt động bất thường exactness, ngay cả khi thực hiện chính xác maneuvers.

Sức mạnh sản lượng dòng chảy từ các thân cây để các trung tâm phân của quattro vĩnh viễn tất cả các bánh xe-lái xe, trong đó phân phối nó theo hai hướng. Thông thường trên 60 phần trăm chảy vào phía sau phân và 40 phần trăm cho phía trước phân. Khi một bánh xe bắt đầu phiếu, các cơ khí trung tâm phân ngay lập tức và tự động chuyển hầu hết sức mạnh vào axle với traction tốt hơn. Tính đến 85 phần trăm có thể được gửi đến phía sau hoặc tối đa là 65 phần trăm cho phía trước. Bảy tốc độ S-tronic và quattro-tất cả các bánh xe lái xe đi theo tiêu chuẩn trên các mô hình và đầu trang diesel có sẵn như là tùy chọn cho hai mô hình mạnh nhất xăng.

Cải tiến từ Audi: quattro với phân thể dục thể thao

Các môn thể thao mới phân về phía sau axle cung cấp các tính năng động, ngay cả nhiều hơn. Những cải tiến mới nhất của Audi mất lái xe powertrain hưởng đến một cấp độ hoàn toàn mới trong Audi A5 Cabriolet quattro với tất cả các bánh xe-lái xe nhờ có những biến đổi liên tục phân phối quyền lực giữa các bánh xe phía sau.

Với phân quattro với thể dục thể thao, mở đầu trang-bốn-seater vẫn hoàn toàn trung tính trong tất cả các loại hình như ở góc trên nếu nó được rails. Khi chỉ đạo đẩy nhanh vào hoặc ở một góc, phần lớn các Torque được gửi đến bên ngoài bánh xe sau, mà War đẩy xe vào cong. Các hệ thống như vậy, anticipates và ngăn ngừa bất kỳ xu hướng về hướng oversteer hoặc understeer, đảm bảo một năng động hơn, ngay cả lái xe kinh nghiệm.

Thanks to its extremely short reaction time – less than 100 milliseconds – the sport differential takes effect even more rapidly than the ESP stabilization system. It is just as effective while coasting as it is under load.

quattro with sport differential is a new type of rear-axle differential. A superposition gear was added to both the left and right sides of the classic differential; it rotates ten percent faster than the wheel’s drive shaft. Each stage comprises two sun gears and a ring gear offset from one another. This results in a large tooth overlap for high loadability with a minimal number of components.

A multi-plate clutch provides the connection between the drive shaft and the faster-turning superposition gear. It is activated by an electrohydraulic actuator and runs in an oil bath. When the clutch is closed, the higher speed of the superposition gear is applied to the drive wheel. This generates additional torque at the outside driven wheel and torque at the opposite wheel is reduced via the differential. In this way nearly all of the torque can be directed to one wheel. The maximum different in torque between the wheels is 1,800 Nm (1,327.61 lb-ft).

The secret to the effectiveness and fast reaction speed of the sport differential lies in its management software – developed in-house by Audi. The controller continuously and quickly recalculates the ideal distribution of torques for each driving system as a function of the steering angle, yaw angle, lateral acceleration, speed and other information.

The functions of the sport differential can also be adapted to the individual requirements of the driver. The “comfort” mode is aimed primarily at safety and stability, and load changes are optimally damped. “Auto” mode is programmed for an even balance of all functions. The “dynamic” mode emphasizes all agility functions. It is here that the improved dynamics due to the sport differential are most noticeable. Load change behavior in this mode is both agile and controllable.

The suspension

The Audi A5 Cabriolet leads its class in all relevant sporty criteria – steering response, stability and agility – yet it provides a very smooth ride The reason for these strengths is the exemplary body stiffness and the cleanly balanced distribution of axle loads. The front axle is located far forward in the front section – a condition made possible by an unusual solution: The differential is mounted in front of the clutch or torque converter.

The suspension design is also technologically advanced. The front wheels are mounted on a five-link axle that can respond separately to the longitudinal and lateral forces acting upon it. Bearings are stiff in the lateral direction for sporty precision and soft and supple in the longitudinal direction. All major components of the front and rear suspensions are made of aluminum, which reduces the unsprung masses.

The auxiliary frame for the front axle and the engine is rigidly bolted to the front section of the car. The high rigidity facilitates the spontaneous generation of steering force. The steering box, mounted low and far forward, transmits the steering commands directly to the wheels.

The hydraulic rack-and-pinion steering with its 16:1 ratio is sporty and direct, providing a precise and finely differentiated connection with the road. A regulated vane-type pump also provides just the right amount of hydraulic energy for the respective operating point. The speed-dependent servotronic is standard with the V6 engines and the 211 hp 2.0 TFSI.

Compact and capable: the rear axle

The rear-wheel suspension of the Audi A5 Cabriolet is a self-tracking trapezoidal link suspension and is identical in the front-wheel drive and quattro versions. It is also mounted onto an auxiliary frame and is very compact for added space in the trunk. The springs and shock absorbers – the latter with small supplemental springs – are mounted separately on the wheel carriers, a solution that enabled the developers to combine high ride comfort with sporty precision.

Audi also delivers the A5 Cabriolet with a sport suspension. Two variants are available – a somewhat tauter configuration and an S line sport suspension that lowers the body by 10 millimeters.

The Audi A5 Cabriolet rides on 7.5 J x 17 forged alloy wheels sporting a classic six-arm design. The tires – including the winter tires – are in a sporty 225/50 format. Individualists can choose from three additional 17-inch wheels, two 18-inch wheels and one 8.5 J x 19 wheel. quattro GmbH also supplies additional 18-inch, 19-inch and even 20-inch wheels, the latter shod with 265/30 wide tires.

Behind the large wheels of the Audi A5 Cabriolet are large brakes that can be very precisely metered. Both 2.0 TFSI models have 314 millimeter (12.36 in) disks up front and 300 millimeter (11.81 in) disks at the rear. The ventilated front disks are designed for maximum heat dissipation: The two halves of the disk are connected by hundreds of small metal cubes, between which a high volume of cooling air can flow in a very short period of time.

The V6 versions of the new Audi A5 Cabriolet are equipped with brakes featuring 320 millimeter (12.60 in) disks. A composite construction was chosen for the calipers: nodular cast iron is used in areas requiring high strength. The piston housing of aluminum dissipates the heat very well. The lightweight brake calipers are extremely stiff; the aluminum disks and cover plates are also unusually light.

Even more driving enjoyment: Audi drive select

One high-end technology that helps the Audi A5 Cabriolet outpace its competitors is the Audi drive select driving dynamics system. It provides the driver with access to all of the technical components relevant to driving dynamics via buttons on the center console, and enables the driver to switch between three modes – comfort, auto and dynamic – to vary their function. If the MMI navigation plus operating system is present, a fourth mode in which the driver can compose his or her own custom settings from a large number of parameters is also available.

Audi drive select influences the engine’s throttle response characteristic, the shift points of the seven-speed S tronic and multitronic transmissions as well as the boost of the servotronic steering. Because of the modular system layout, the customer can order one or more of three additional technologies: the sport differential, adaptive shock absorber control or dynamic steering.

A fast controller plays the lead role in electronic shock absorber control. It continuously analyzes the signals received from 14 sensors and calculates the optimal damping per wheel in extremely short intervals (1,000 times per second).

The CDC (continuous damping control) shock absorbers include electromagnetically actuated valves. They control the flow of hydraulic fluid between the inner and the outer tubes. A large cross-section provides a soft damping characteristic, and a small cross-section provides a hard damping characteristic.

The dynamic steering is another high-end technology from Audi – its superposition gear modifies the steering ratio as a function of driving speed. It is integrated into the steering column and combined with an electric motor. As a harmonic drive it is compact and light. It operates without any play and is therefore extremely precise, with low friction. It can transmit very high torques and operates at a high level of efficiency.

Audi dynamic steering can vary its steering ratio by nearly 100 percent in response to both the vehicle speed and the Audi drive select mode in use. The transitions are continuous and undetectable. The system is very direct when parking, and boost is also very high. At moderate highway speeds, the system becomes less direct and provides less power assist. At top speeds, an indirect steering ratio and low level of power assist facilitate steady tracking.

The dynamic steering system cooperates closely with ESP in the vehicle dynamics and safety areas. It relieves the burden on the electronic stabilization program for the simple reason that a steering correction can be performed faster than the time needed by the brake system to build up pressure at the individual wheels. It thus eliminates many braking operations and the driving becomes faster and more flowing.

Dynamic steering counteracts both oversteer as a result of load changes and understeer. It also provides valuable assistance when braking on surfaces with various coefficients of friction.

The equipment

The Audi A5 comes with an impressive array of standard equipment. This includes a fully automatic convertible top, a wind deflector, 17-inch alloy wheels, individually folding rear seatbacks with a large pass-through, an automatic climate control system and the chorus audio system with CD player. Automatic seatbelt extenders, an electromechanical parking brake and – starting with 140 kW (190 hp) models and above – xenon plus headlights including daytime running light strip and LED rear lamps are also standard.

Attractive options bring premium-class luxury to the open-top four-seater. The adaptive light option combines xenon plus headlights with dynamic cornering lights; the high-beam assistant changes automatically between low beam and high beam. The advanced key provides keyless entry, pushbutton starting and opening and closing the top remotely. The Audi hold assist adds numerous functions to the electromechanical parking brake.

The automatic climate control system regulates the temperature separately in three zones in the vehicle; the acoustic top further reduces wind noise; and the climate-controlled comfort seat in combination with neck-level heating creates a perfectly tempered environment. The optional LED lighting for the vanity mirrors is an unusual touch. When it comes to the chassis, the program is complemented by the Audi drive select system, quattro with sport differential and two conventional sport suspensions.

Innovative driver aids make driving in the Audi A5 Cabriolet even more relaxed, composed and safe. These include the adaptive cruise control with the Audi braking guard functions, Audi side assist and Audi lane assist. They keep the open-top four-seater a safe distance from the vehicle to the front and help the driver to change lanes or to stay in lane. The Audi parking system advanced with acoustic and optical parking aids uses a rearview camera to display the area behind the vehicle on the Audi MMI monitor.

For sports fans: the S line package

Audi has put together two S line packages for customers with particularly dynamic tastes. The S line sport package plus combines the taut setup and lowered body with 18-inch wheels. Fine details abound in the interior – sport seats covered in cloth and leather, a special leather sport steering wheel, a leather shift lever knob, inlays in brushed aluminum and color-coordinated floor mats. S line logos are found on the fenders, the steering wheel, the seats and the door sill trims. The exterior colors Misano Red, pearl effect and Monza Silver, metallic are offered exclusively for the S line sport package plus.

Audi also offers as an alternative or as a supplement the S line exterior package, which imparts the body with a particularly dynamic look. Independent bumpers and distinctive features on the side air intakes, on the diffuser and on the tailpipes are the primary elements. Side sill trims painted in the body color and S line badges on the door sill trims and the front fenders round out the program.

Audi also offers an attractive range of multimedia components. The concert radio with CD has a memory card reader for MP3 and WMA music files and an AUX-in port for connecting an MP3 player. A 6.5-inch color monitor and eight speakers round out the package. The symphony radio adds a six-disk CD changer.

The next-generation MMI navigation and MMI navigation plus infotainment systems offer even more capabilities. The former includes a color display, a memory card reader and a six-speaker sound system. It can be expanded to include a digital radio receiver, a CD changer, a high-performance Bluetooth cell phone interface and an interface for full iPod integration.

Deluxe multimedia: MMI navigation plus

The top-of-the-line MMI navigation plus has exclusive technologies on board. The seven-inch, high-resolution color monitor shows the navigation maps as either conventional 2D graphics or in 3D. Map data are stored on a 40 GB hard drive. Places of interest and city models are shown in 3D for better orientation. Music files and the user’s contacts are also stored on the hard drive. The radio module features a dual tuner, and there is a player for audio and video DVDs that can be controlled easily via a special joystick function for the MMI control unit.

Optional features enable the MMI navigation plus system to be expanded into a high-end media center. Audi offers solutions such as an analog/digital TV tuner and a luxury sound system from Bang & Olufsen that treats passengers to hi-fi quality sound.
