There were 2 S5s at QEK, Audi's prep area at Upper Heyford today and they looked very nice indeed.
Alot bigger in the flesh than in the picture. The interior was very nice, very upmarket. Sort of A6 size rather than A4.
Whether they were press, management or production cars no one new.
They did have a big sticker on them to say they weren't to be driven on the public roads though.
Couldn't take any pics as couldn't risk losing my phone.

RE: S5 in the flesh
I got told off a few years ago... Collected my new car from VAG HQ in Milton Keynes, took a couple of pictures (as you do) but did'nt realise that I'd snapped a couple of new unveiled B7 A4's in the background that had not been on UK roads.Couldn't take any pics as couldn't risk losing my phone.
I expect the A5 to be the size of a 2 door A6, in a similar fashion to how Merc have done their coupe's.

RE: S5 in the flesh
Are they a full 5 seater (unlike the current 3-series coupe)?
Rear leg room is important for me, so if they are A6 size then that's great news - I sat in a B7 RS4 at the dealers yesteday and couldn't believe how little rear leg room there was with the sport seats!

RE: S5 in the flesh
I took a look at an A5 but the only chance I had was first thing in the morning before the dealer opened so I couldn't take a look inside. I t was parked next to an A4 and didn't look particuarly larger but it's hard to say on a brief look.

RE: S5 in the flesh
I sat in the front, loads of room but didn't look at the rear. It seemd a tad bgger than the RS4 but wouldn't put money on it.
Sorry.

Re: RE: S5 in the flesh
Leg room in the A5 is terrible. Much less than my old M3Nige_RS4 wrote:Are they a full 5 seater (unlike the current 3-series coupe)?

I was passing the Audi dealer on the corner of Berkley street opposite the Ritz earlier, they have a grey with red interior lhd S5 and a silver rhd R8.....both cars were open....no problem with sitting in them and pressing the buttons the pleasant sales girl just smiled no sales pitch at all 
2000 B5 S4 facelift, sadly missed...enjoying the 2005 A2 TDi Special Edition though!
