LLTeK is pleased to offer body kit styling for Audi’s A5 coupé, cabriolet and sportback. The Audi A5 was originally lauched in Switzerland and Australia back in March 2007 producing jaw-dropping response from the press. The coupé falls into the Grand Touring class and competes seriously against the likes of the BMW E92 (BMW 3-Series coupé) and the Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class.
This brilliant design from Audi shares many traits introduced with the Nuvolari quattro concept and has been built using Audi’s MLP platform (Modular Longitudinal Platform) - look for it in the next generation of A4, A6 and A8 production car Audis. The Audi A5 offer 6 choices of powerplants including a 4.2L V8 FSI producing 354 PS (349 hp/260 kW), a 3.2L V6 FSI (265PS/195kW), a 1.8L I4 FSI (168PS/125kW), a 2.7L V6 TDI (190PS/140kW) and a 3.0L V6 TDI(240PS/176kW)
The platform is significantly different from previous design where engines sat over the front axle; now, with MLP, more weight and power will be located behind the front axle - producing a more even weight distribution (55/45) between the front and rear wheels. Does it sound like Audi is taking a serious run at BMW? Time will tell, but it should be remembered that the difference in first “past the post” can often be attributed to whomever is sitting between the seat and steering wheel. Walter Maria de'Silva, designer of Audi’s A5/S5 has given Audi enthusiasts and tuners a winner.
