With this 252 bhp variant (the base model gets 190 bhp), Quattro is standard. The lovely new chassis platform known as 'MLB-Evo chassis' yields a car that is lighter, more playful and nimble on the road. Steering inputs are precisely executed and while a little on the light side, never feels vague. I’d dare say the combination of a strong power output and sublime handling almost makes this A5 quite S5-like! I enjoyed driving it more than I did the 3.0-litre S4.

Classic roadster design cues are featured on the Concept Z4, such as a long wheelbase, low-slung and stretched silhouette and a compact rear end. The outline of the car follows a wedge shape, with a shorter bonnet and crisp overhangs at the front, and large domes that integrate the rollover bars stretching out rearwards — allowing the Concept Z4 to exude dynamism even when standing still.

Let's manage some expectations first - you’re never going to get a car that looks like a 911, as this is a 4-door sedan. So for now, this is as good as it gets. Well maybe the newly launched Sport Tourismo is better. But for a sedan, this works nicely.
