The new Audi A5 combines a sporty and an unobtrusive design to a powerful, elegant and individual appearance. "A uniquely beautiful car and thus a real challenge for us," says Hans-Jürgen Abt. The managing director of Abt Sportsline raved about the new Coupe from Ingolstadt, but he emphasizes that "our designers and engineers were able to improve the outstanding base model even more". The character of the noble sportscar still maintains but after getting a special treatment in the Allgaeu it appears more dynamical. The body kit, especially tailor-made for the Abt AS5, is a spectacular package: a front skirt with a grid element which emphasizes the singel-frame grill and the fog lights, the slightly curved, laterally mounted body parts and the sleek gill-shaped air-inlets, as well as the well-proportioned rear. With the unobtrusive but striking rear spoiler and the rear skirt inset in diffuser optics, the design of the Abt AS5 is gracefully rounded off. The 4-pipe rear muffler is perfectly fitting and additionally recontoures the rear view. Needless to say that the car sounds as a real Abt car should.

Despite the ugly two-tone, I would be one happy guy with a 300HP TDI.

Agreed, but dang that's fugly. Guess they're going for the R8 look gone all wrong. Why pick the brown as part of your press release?

...but lunch break was coming soon so we just slapped fender vents on it and two-toned it.

I'll take the power please. Hold the 'body modifications.'

Vortex Transaction History

Clearly in the past the cars were not that beautiful from factory, but now they usually don't need more than some tweaks, especially the later Audis, last alfa romeos and others.

If I had the chedda I'd take an M3 over this anyday..... it looks the same as a 3Coupe imo.

I usually love Audis.

I think it's suppose to be AS5. But who cares it's as fugly as an harry a$$.

Why didn't they use an A4 cabrio 2 door and create a coupe from there? At least it would have been better proportioned

Isn't this car more like a 645 than a 335?

Two tone paint is kinda played out, and those fender vents are NASTY.

The rest of the body kit is OK, but unneccesary..

This car isn't even out yet, and it already looks like a 90's Civic Coupe (full of trashy body work).

To bring back an old phrase, they hit that car with an ugly stick...

Me no like.

I rolled a car last weekend, you just smash the glass, it's not a big deal.

...geeze. That paint job just ruins all the work Audi has done to build a subtle, elegant sports coupe.

imo paint the trunk and ditch the fender vents, and it looks good. maybe pick a set of better looking wheels too... but I do really like the front valence

I really really like the big TDI though...
