Vorsprung durch Technik.
Three words that express the very essence of Audi. Vorsprung durch Technik isn't a slogan. It's our way of seeing the world. It is the driving force behind our history of innovation that continues into the 21st century. Indeed, many technologies that Audi pioneered remain in our cars today. Some are milestones in the history of the motorcar. Vorsprung durch Technik makes us who we are. To see more of its influence, just read on. From our beginnings in 1899, to the Auto Union team's Grand Prix successes in the 1930s and our more recent wins at Le Mans, we have always been at the forefront of the motor industry.

The Audi A5 Sportback continues our proud history of innovation.
It's the first mid-size Sportback in the Audi range, an exciting milestone in design. But even in a pioneer like the A5 Sportback, it's rare to find such a balance of different qualities. Its elegant lines and accentuated wheel arches are influenced heavily by the iconic A5 Coupé while it provides the comfort and practicality of a larger family car. It also comes with several different engine options  TDI, FSI and TFSI  all incorporating fuelefficient direct-injection technology.

Efficiency
At Audi, doing less is something we're trying to do more of. We're working to use less fuel, release less CO2 and waste less energy. It's why we've incorporated a number of more efficient technologies into the Audi A5 Sportback.
Recuperation
When a vehicle brakes, the brake discs convert the kinetic energy into thermal energy, which is wasted as it cannot be used. With a recuperation system, like the one in the Audi A5 Sportback, the kinetic energy is converted into useful electrical energy. The way it works is simple. While the car is coasting or braking, the alternator voltage is raised above the level of the basic electrical system, which enables the alternator to generate electrical energy and store it temporarily in the battery. When the vehicle accelerates, this energy is used to relieve the load on the alternator, resulting in a fuel saving of 3%.
Automatic Start-Stop function
In heavy traffic, your car still uses fuel and releases CO2, even when it's stationary. The automatic Start-Stop function counteracts this problem by switching off the engine when your car comes to a standstill. As soon as you touch the clutch, the car restarts. In conjunction with TDI and TFSI, it helps save 0.4 litres of fuel every 100km.
8
Efficiency programme
The Driver's Information System in the Audi A5 Sportback is available with a special efficiency programme, which offers up-to-the-minute advice on ways you can improve fuel economy as you drive. It also shows you which items in your car are using energy, and how much they are using, so you can make an informed choice about which ones to switch off.
9
Engine
The A5 Sportback is available with a number of engine options: 2.0 TFSI, 3.2 FSI quattro®, 2.0 TDI and 3.0 TDI quattro®. They all incorporate fuel-saving direct-injection technology, which has played a major part in our unprecedented success at Le Mans. The fuel is injected directly into the combustion chambers, so not a drop is wasted. It was ideal on the racetrack, and it's just as effective on the road.
10
Transmission
The A5 Sportback comes with a 6-speed manual gearbox, or you can opt for a 7-speed S tronic transmission, which uses an innovative dual-clutch system. It means that while you're accelerating in third, it's already pre-selecting fourth, so it changes gear in just a few milliseconds without any interruption in power. Alternatively, you can choose a 6-speed manual transmission, which puts you in complete control of every gear shift, for a flexible and rewarding drive.
11
quattro®
It's the technology that has given Audi the edge on the racetrack ever since it was first introduced over 25 years ago  a technology that delivers ultimate control whilst enhancing the sporty characteristics which make the A5 Sportback so thrilling to drive. It's called quattro® permanent all-wheel-drive.
12
The principle is simple: in the same way that four brakes ensure better deceleration, four permanently-driven wheels deliver better acceleration and road-holding, pushing or pulling the car as needed, for a driving experience that's both dynamic and safe. In the A5 Sportback asymmetric dynamic torque distribution continuously distributes drive power between the front and rear axles depending on weather conditions, road surface and gradient, which increases flexibility for an enhanced, sportier drive.
