Audi S5 Cabriolet Vs Ford Mustang Convertible: Can The Germans Make A Better Pony Car?

The UK is enduring one of the hottest summers in memory, with blue skies and sunshine every day for weeks on end. So what better way to make the most of the current heatwave than with a convertible sports car?

There’s a new one on the market, too, in the shape of the revised and updated Ford Mustang Convertible.

It’s been given more power, a new automatic gearbox, revised suspension and a new, fruitier exhaust. The Ford is loud all round, from the design to the engine noise, and looks like it could be a summer hit. But it faces some stiff competition here, because the V8 automatic model has a price tag that puts it up against some premium rivals.

The S5 and Mustang do not compete with each other, so asking if Audi can make a "better Mustang" is a silly question.

No. What a ridiculous question.

I doubt FORD would sell AUDI the right to even use the name. (lol)

Stupid question. A Mustang 5.0 has FAR more personality, better styling, and much better reliability/durability.

I think the heat got to them. Silly comparison. Nobody cross shops a Mustang with and A5.
