They work together to remediate the site of a former oil refinery and transform this industrial wasteland into a campus. The focus is on the development work for future-oriented projects. The future technology park IN-Campus is designed to be open, sustainable and close to nature.
Construction is in full swing and the first buildings are already in use. Over the past years, the site has been converted for the production of electric vehicles and thus into a net carbon-neutral multi-brand plant. The production in Zwickau also represents a return to the roots of the Four Rings.
Even in , a challenging business year, Audi vigorously drove ahead its transformation into a provider of sustainable and networked premium mobility. Recent Press Releases.

With that strategic decision, technical development will be intensified for the future and Neckarsulm will become a center of competency for a key electromobility technology. Additionally, a battery center for testing high-voltage storage technologies will go into operation by Further proof that Audi is transforming its locations and setting the course for the age of electric mobility. Despite the additional weight, the convertible S5 cabriolet that we tested was still plenty quick, hitting 60 mph in 4.
Both titillating two-door S5s we tested were equipped with inch rims on performance summer tires and the S Sport package, which adds a torque-vectoring rear differential and adaptive dampers.
As equipped, our test cars sported firm but still compliant rides. The coupe also came equipped with the Dynamic Steering option, which quickens the steering the more the wheel is turned from center.
We found the system uncommunicative and unpredictable; we recommend sticking with the standard fixed-ratio steering setup. With a potent turbocharged V-6 and standard all-wheel drive, one might expect the S5 coupe and cabriolet to have not-so-great fuel economy. However, the fixed-roof version is expected to earn 20 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway—choosing the convertible reduces the latter rating by 2 mpg.
We tested both body styles on our mph highway fuel-economy route, which is part of our extensive testing regimen , and the coupe earned 30 mpg and the cabriolet earned 32 mpg. For more information about the S5's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. The S5's interior is marked by soft-to-the-touch, expensive-feeling materials, high-quality fit and finish, and a user-friendly design.
Both the driver and front passenger are treated to comfortable and roomy power-adjustable seats, while rear-seat riders are left with the bare minimum of acceptable space. Those in need of more rear-seat room should look at the four-door S5 Sportback , which has a longer wheelbase and offers more room for rear passengers. The two-door S5's interior starts with a conservative but modern dashboard design that's pieced together with laser-tight precision.
Additionally, every model includes luxuries such as front seats with heating and massage functions and three-zone climate control. In our testing, the S5 coupe held five carry-on suitcases, which puts it at the top of its class in terms of trunk room.
Power is kept at respectable values for its class with hp. When Audi confirmed that it will launch a sport-coupe vehicle in the premium segment, the world was thrilled and, in it did it. And it did something more by adding the S5 version. The Audi brand was built on two main pillars: the all-wheel-drive Quattro system and the Audi Coupe from the early '80s.
