Car and Drive shows the 2018 S5 as a 4.3 second car. Increased HP and Tourque from the turbo engine that replaces the 3.0 SC. But they have eliminated the manual and DCT in favor of an 8 speed automatic. Boo. I loved the DCT in my 2013 S4.

Audi has one of the most refined interiors in the industry.
Previous gen was a tick faster than 5.3 to 60 as I recall. My S4 was a 4.9 second car, but a long way from the low 4's. AWD makes for a nice launch.
