I really wish we had a trailer hitch I could recommend for your 2013 Audi S5 but none of our manufacturers have anything listed as a fit for your vehicle, but I do have a solution that will allow you to carry 3 bikes at the rear of your vehicle.

For that you would want a trunk mounted bike rack. A very popular option that would work well is the Saris Bones part # SA801BL which is confirmed as a fit for your vehicle and is one of the nicest racks around at a great price. Check out the install video I attached for more info as well.

If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
