Designed to unleash the car's competitive instincts, the STaSIS Engineering S5 Cabriolet Challenge Edition adds race developed technology to Audi's luxury convertible. Power and torque gains, an upgraded exhaust, performance-stretching Ohlins suspension, the brilliant feel of monobloc brake calipers, plus the added agility and sure-footedness of a road-gripping differential give you the ultimate in race-bred performance. From concept to production each new STaSIS component is rigorously tested to ensure maximum performance and factory levels of reliability.

The Challenge Edition delivers the no-compromise philosophy underpinning the STaSIS brand - a unique blend of cohesive powertrain, chassis and braking upgrades, that raise the performance of the 2010 onwards 3.0-litre supercharged Audi S5 Cabriolet to a higher plane. Indeed, there are few faster cabriolets on the road, certainly not with four seats.

Available now through award-winning VAG specialist and UK STaSIS distributor APS of Brackley, as well as STaSIS agents across Britain, the key technical features of the sensational STaSIS S5 Cabriolet Challenge Edition are as follows:-

  • Engine - ECU remap to 410 bhp (up from a factory 333 bhp)
  • Exhaust - Quad outlet T304 stainless steel with laser engraved tips and tuneable high rpm resonators
  • Brakes - Alcon 6-piston monobloc calipers, 370mm front two piece floating discs, high performance pads, braided stainless steel brake lines
  • Suspension - Ohlins SL dampers with double digressive damping for ride comfort, increased spring rate for better response and adjustable ride height
  • Wheels - 10.5 x 20 inch ultra-lightweight forged aluminium wheels with high performance low profile tyres
The STaSIS S5 Cabriolet Challenge Edition combines a 23% power increase with cohesive handling and braking enhancements to deliver ultra high performance combined with peace of mind and safety.

Everything STaSIS' engineers have learned at the racing circuit has been distilled into an Audi S5 Cabriolet upgrade package that's just as happy around town as it is on the open road, where it can accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 4.3 seconds (5.0 stock).

Stasis is one of the better tuners out here. except for the one with the red hood, the car and tuning aspects are very nice.

The grill is OEM from Audi and I like it very much. The car looks stock besides the wheels and exhaust. I have a S4 B8 with the same wheels ECU/Exhaust and it is the best. Especially not loosing your Audi warranty. Oh yeah, the best part is you get to smoke stock BMW M3 V8 :)
