What causes the acceleration lag in the Audi A5?

I've been experiencing a delay in the acceleration response of my Audi A5. It feels like there's a momentary pause before the car starts moving once I press on the gas pedal. Is this normal or is there an underlying issue?

The most common cause of acceleration lag in an Audi A5 is a dirty air filter. Make sure to clean or replace the air filter regularly to improve acceleration response.

Another potential cause could be a clogged fuel filter. Consider having it checked and replaced if necessary.
