After the long wait, Audi had released their latest addition to their family, the Audi A5 Sportback. They had released a full high definition photo  of the five-door coupe which will be officially introduced in the  Frankfurt Auto Show later .

What makes the car exceptionally beautiful is the low-slung roofline which made it look like a sports car. Other noticeable faetures includes a unique C-Pillar design with a dramatic kink as well as frameless doors. Without doubt, the A5 Sportback looks even better with the optional S-Line sport package that combines a tauter suspension setup and lowered body with larger alloy wheels, specific bumpers, distinctive features on the side air intakes, on the diffuser and on the tailpipes along with color keyed side sill trims.

A peek in the interior will reveal the newly designed door trims and the four-seat layout. But dashboard is no different than the one found in the rest of the A4 and A5 family.

The Audi A5 sportsback will feature 3 petrol engine and 3 diesel engine. The three initial engine for the launch is the  a 2.0 TSI with 180HP and 211HP and a 265HP 3.0 FSI V6. The next three diesel engine is a a 2.0 TDI with 170HP, a 2.7-liter TDI delivering 190HP and a 3.0- V6 TDI that makes 240HP.

Audi said that the A5 Sportback’s range will be enhanced with three more engines by mid-2010, one of which will surely be the new 3.0-liter supercharged V6 TFSI that develops 290HP in the A6 and 333HP in the S4 Sedan and Avant models.

In Germany, prices for the A5 Sportback range from €33,650  (RM170,00 pre-tax) for the 180HP 2.0 TSI to €47,950 (RM241,00 pre-tax) for the 3.0 TDI. Currently there are no news on Malaysian price.
