Facelift ?

Post by HYFR » Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:20 pm

Interesting to see that the facelift has applied to coupe, cab and sportback ... and the S5

but no mention of the RS ...

My dealer told me that production of the RS5 stops for good in 12 weeks for good. If it's true, keeps it exclusive!

Here are the official pics of the new S5. Not really my type. I prefer the more aggressive of the first A/S/RS5.
not a major facelift, but from the first look only headlamps were changed and the tails are abit darker. And the S5 engine: 3.0tfsi with 333ps (4.9 sec to 100)
change suffered all models a5/s5: coupe, cab and sportback.

Looks nice, think they have tried to make it look more aggressive like the RS5
previous- Pug 205 gti, 306 gti, 309 gti Goodwood.
Audi S3, S4 V8 avant.
Porsche Macan Turbo.
Gone but NEVER forgotten - C5 RS6 Misano red avant.

Now - Empty garage

IMHO opinion the lights do not flow in the right direction.
the previous lights were far too rectangular and these rectify this but I feel they are cropping the the light in the wrong direction it needs to be more like a B7 light shape to fill the empty peice of plastic below the area were they are cropping the light.
It does not look right to me.

Agreed, it does look a little clunky

They look like the lights on the A3 concept at Geneva so no real susprise but I agreed, they are almost too small in proportion to the bumper underneath them.
