A5 STAR RIDE!

Rather than being more precise and crisp, this time lets be more realistic! Audi has designed its most gracious car in all years(barring the R8 of course) here, courtesy former Alfa-Romeo designer Walter da Silva!

A5 is a tantalising coupe with clear design input from both the TT(Interiors+Engine+Silhoutte) and the Phenomenal R8(LED+profile). At an OTR of 77 lakhs for the 3.2 litre V6, this Quattro drive is as much fun as a night out with Gisele Bundchen! The car boasts of 6 airbags, all traditional audi A6 equipments and even better like massaging seats(optional), satnav and Bang & Olufsen 13 speaker AWESOME PIN DROP sound! Man havent heard of this company before, but i bet BOSE would run hard for cover! Atleast here!

The Engine was tweaked to handle more power, hence the car was more eager, more revving and definitley much fun! The front end is so cool, it seems as if the car s hugging the road and aiming the fist at anyone IN YER FACE! This is a left hand drive, so expect a right hand drive sooner or later when it lands on our shores in very near future(Got confirmation from Audi officials). Forget the TT, this car has actually gone the length and copied Bimmer's rearset engine(Engine set faar back from the front axle, leaving an exposed frame visible)! Pirelli PZero shod car is extremely sticky on the road! The H-gated gear lever is very comfortable to be accustomed, but a tad harder than the TT. Steering is well weighted, but light in slack positions. Driving comfort is unparalleled to anycar in it's class.

The rear seats are good only for kids. Had it got bigger seats, this car was the best tourer I would have voted! Front superb bolstering seats are great! The MMI(Multi Media Interface) is cool, but not necessary, actually never gave a look to it, as i was deeply sunk into the feeling of lusting a test drive of this car very here for first time in India!!!! That should be my personal record for now!

Waiting for other automobile mags to give their shot on this! Its a tequilla ! I bet! You can bet too!

TILL THEN, IF YOUR DREAMS TO RACE IN NASCAR WERE SHORTLIVED, BUT YOU CAN AFOORD TO TAKE YOUR SENSATIONAL WIFE AND DOWDY KIDS OUT FOR A VROOM RIDE, THEN HEAD TO AUDI NEW DELHI AND BOOK AN A5 NOW! YOU NEVER KNOW YOUR KIDS WILL APPRECIATE THAT MILD CORNER BEND OR THAT SLIGHT DRIFT LATE CORNER!
