In a thrilling escapade documented by Throttle House, James sets out on a daring expedition to the heart of Wales in the all-new Audi S5. Along the way, he raises eyebrows and questions Audi's recent design choices, contrasting the S5 with the formidable BMW N340i. The S5, equipped with a potent turbocharged V6 engine boasting 367 horsepower, promises speed and agility but falls short in delivering the raw excitement of a true sports car, plagued by historical issues like dead steering and under steer.

As James navigates the S5 through winding roads and open highways, he grapples with the car's modern features and technology, including a new platform, a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and mild hybrid capabilities. While the S5 impresses with its smooth ride, strong overtaking power, and updated tech, its exterior changes receive a mixed reception, particularly in regions like North America where certain models are absent. Inside the cabin, James and Throttle House's Joey scrutinize the new steering wheel, haptic buttons, dual screens, and overall material quality, revealing both innovative features and disappointing design elements.

However, the journey takes an unexpected turn as James unwittingly finds himself on a racetrack in Wales, where he discovers a surprising facet of the new S5's performance capabilities. Astonishingly, the S5 showcases a newfound ability to over steer and drift, challenging preconceived notions about Audi's driving dynamics and injecting a dose of excitement into the journey. Amidst the Welsh landscape, James grapples with conflicting emotions as the S5 proves to be a formidable and dynamic companion, redefining his expectations of Audi's sporting prowess.
