AUDI has lifted the wraps on its new generation A5 Coupe complete with a slick new style and the promise of more sophistication.

The car's flowing bodywork has been aerodynamically optimised to deliver a drag coefficient of just 0.25, while beneath the skin is a new platform that reduces weight by up to 60kg over its predecessor.

A range of powerful TDI and TFSI engines and an even more advanced suite of infotainment and driver assistance systems will be included when the newcomer hits UK streets this winter.

Compared with the previous model, the list of standard equipment is more generous and includes stuff like xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights and LED rear lights, LED interior lights, Audi MMI radio plus with seven-inch colour display, Bluetooth and USB charging function.

You also get the Audi drive select dynamic handling system and Audi pre sense city.

Meanwhile, the new two-door S5 Coupe gets a newly developed turbocharged V6 engine producing 354ps and capable of 0-62 in 4.7 seconds.
