Eibach: S5 Project Car (based on Audi S5) news

Press release...

The Audi A5 Coupé is a seducer that sweeps people directly off their feet. The attractive two-door car also boasts excellent technical features, no matter if for every-day use or for the race track. The new A5 DTM meets the challenges of the renowned DTM (German Touring Masters). As an “Audi Sport Official Supplier”, Eibach equips the Audi racing cars with the perfect suspension systems to prepare them for their tasks. The Coupé also has an excellent motorsport feel on the road. The Eibach suspension experts want to prove this with a new project car based on the Audi S5. The Eibach specialists did not touch the standard 245kW/333HP – they decided to generate more power by improving the car‘s handling: with an optimum suspension set-up themed “Inspired by motorsport – Performance for the road”. Fitted with the Eibach B12 Pro-Kit, the Anti-Roll-Kit Performance Sway Bars and the Pro-Spacer Wheel Spacer. There are three different wheel-tyre combinations to choose from, depending on the intended use.

The Eibach B12 Pro-Kit Performance Springs and Shocks are composed of the Pro-Kit Performance Springs and specially adapted mono-tube gas pressure shock absorbers from Bilstein. A high degree of dynamics, precise handling and large reserves in the limit range guarantee motorsport-worthy excellence. The slightly lowered centre of gravity makes the car look even more like the Audi A5 DTM version – particularly in combination with a decal design inspired by motorsports.

The Eibach Anti-Roll-Kit and the Eibach B12 Pro-Kit form a perfect symbiosis in the Eibach Audi S5. The Performance Sway Bars reduce body roll and guarantee even more driving pleasure. The Eibach Audi S5 reacts to every steering command with extreme stability and precision. The Eibach Pro-Spacer Wheel Spacer made of aluminum round off the package.

The wheels are the final interface between asphalt and vehicle. In cooperation with its partners Toyo and OZ, Eibach has put together three different wheel-tyre combinations. These were optimised with respect to dimensions and specifications for representative purposes (Show & Shine), for every-day use (Performance) and for the race track (High Performance). The award-winning Toyo Proxes T1 Sport, the Semislick Toyo R888 and the HLT lightweight technology of OZ are the chosen products.

With this set-up, the Eibach Audi S5 even feels at home on race tracks. To a certain extent, the motto “Inspired by motorsport – Performance for the road” is also true the other way round.

paint/decals are idiotic, but other than that these are beautiful cars, I wouldn't own one just because I would want it to last longer than a year without having to replace something major, buuut the new style Audi has is amazingly sexy
