First generation (2007-2016)
Initial release
The A5 marks Audi's return to the entry-level luxury coupe market since the B50-based B50 coupas model (B3/B4) ended production in 1996. On May 10, 2006, Audi confirmed that the A5 will go into production. The B6/B7 A4 spawn a convertible variant but not coupà ©.
