My S5 was the first year of an all new model, when Audi was kind of reinventing everything they did. Probably not the best time to get into their brand. From 2010 onward, the A5/S5/RS5 was pretty well regarded.
The SQ5 is 8 years newer, and the 2nd to last year of that generation. Based on the research we've done, they had the bugs knocked out of it by then. It's got the ZF 8HP transmission that's in a lot of cars other than VW products, and it's regarded as one of the best autos in existence. The engine is also really stout. I'm really not that worried. In any case, that's what the warranty is for.

Why is the 2021 so much quicker? Like a full second quicker to 60?

Those numbers seem off. Motortrend puts the difference at 0.4 seconds. Still pretty impressive, but not a full second.
That's easily fixed though.

Amazing things happen with turbo engines when you can raise the boost and still keep safety factors in place

Oh I'm sorry.
Wait. 449 with only a tune but only another 6hp with a pulley change? Seems fishy unless they dump boost in oe form and they're just preventing that with the tune.

I've only ever heard good things about APR, so maybe it really is a super conservative tune from the factory. The dyno chart seems to point to exactly that. The stock power curve flattens out from 5500 RPM onward.

ZF does make really old transmission. Gonna be a fun daily driver that’s for sure!

This explains why Vira fought so hard to get this specific car. They're almost always black, gray, super dark blue, or white. So when a bright one finally comes around, it looks like one of those black and white photos where someone selectively added color to it.
