What is it?

Audi's new four-seat coupe, this time with 3.0-litre of turbodiesel V6 up front. It goes on sale in the UK in July.

What's it like?

Torquey. Sometimes, Newton metres of torque sound better than your familiar pounds feet. Like when you have a fat 500 of them under your right foot. That’s what the newly bolstered V6 turbodiesel generates in the A5 3.0 TDI, along with 236bhp.

Those 500Nm equate to 369lb ft of twist action from 1500rpm through to 3000rpm, which is usefully more torque than even the 349bhp S5 quattro V8 can unleash.
