The Audi S5 quattro (B9) is an all-wheel drive coupé built by Audi from late 2016, after its unveiling in June 2016.
It is part of the second generation model line following on from the Audi S5 (B8) that had been in production since 2007.
Fitted with a 3-litre V6 engine, the S5 has direct injection as well as a twin-scroll turbocharger to reduce both weight and cost. The turbocharger is mounted within the engine and as a result has reduced response times.
The quattro all-wheel drive system receives power through a locking centre differential that splits torque sent to the wheels at 40% to the front and 60% to the rear. The system can also divert up to 70% to the front or up to 85% to the rear.
Need for Speed: Payback
The Audi S5's appearance in Need for Speed: Payback was hinted at during the game's reveal trailer, in which a short snippet of the car's interior can be seen with Jess in the driver's seat.
