Default Red S5 Spotted in Santa Monica

I was in Santa Monica on vacation the other day when I saw the red beauty pulling into the car park. As those who have seen it in person have said; it's absolutely stunning! Unfortunately i didn't get any snaps of the back end because I was too busy gawking at how sick the wide rear stance looked. It had a Michigan Mfr. tag, so must be a Euro-Spec for journalists and such. Enjoy.

Visually, it looks smaller in those pics. Very nice shots!

Default Those are the best pictures I've seen yet showing the scale of the car.

It's not a big car, but it looks that way in pictures. And in person, it is SO low and SO pretty...

Default Absoultely, I was never sure what to think when I saw the press shots.

But as soon as I saw it in person, everything clicked and made sense why Audi would build something like this. Comparing it to, let's say a A4 Cab, the rear is perfectly squat with those big tail lights and quad tips.

Default Re: Red S5 Spotted in Santa Monica

I have also seen an S5 driving around West LA with dealer plates. It's a different red, though. More like a mix of red and burgundy. I've seen it twice-once on Mulholland and once on Santa Monica. Looked like a 20 something year old driver and his girlfriend. The car looks awesome. Last time I saw it was dusk, and the daytime running lights were on-amazing.
