Overview
- A revised 2.9‑liter twin‑turbo V6 (510 PS) pairs with a 130 kW e‑motor for 639 PS and 825 Nm, delivering 0–100 km/h in 3.6 seconds.
- The 400‑volt system uses a 25.9 kWh battery (22 kWh net) for up to about 84 km of electric range and supports 11 kW AC charging in roughly 2.5 hours.
- Audi introduces Dynamic Torque Control on the rear axle, shifting up to ~2,000 Nm between rear wheels within milliseconds, alongside a new self‑locking center differential (70/30 to 15/85 split).
- Tradeoffs include a reported 2,370 kg curb weight and reduced luggage capacity to 361–1,302 liters, with the car stretching to 4.90 meters and gaining width over the standard A5.
- Germany pricing starts at €106,200 for the sedan and €107,850 for the Avant; despite higher output, Audi cites the same 0–100 km/h time as BMW's M3 Touring, with optional ceramic brakes and a 285 km/h top speed via package.
