With attention to detail and luxury, Audi is proving to consumers that they are a forced to be reckoned with. Audi takes the S5 one step further by offering a cabriolet for 2010. The new car maintains the elegant roofline in a classic cabriolet soft-top styling making the car lighter than a retractable hardtop, while improving the driving dynamics and fuel efficiency of the vehicle. The top retracts in a fast 15 seconds and can be done at speeds up to 30 miles per hour. Not wanting to compromise the premium optional Bang & Olufsen sound system, Audi engineers were also able to keep the acoustics in the vehicle on par with the coupe when the top is up
