Hey all! I'm getting ready to order a 2021 RS5 SB, and see that Turbo Blue is one of the options. Originally, I had thought of going custom and ordering Nogaro Blue. Any words of wisdom around the differences between Turbo Blue and Nogaro Blue and dare I say, Sepang Blue? Am I better off getting it black and wrapping it after the fact?

Turbo Blue is much brighter. It reminds of the old NYC police car blue paint.

I vote for Nogaro or Sepang if going exclusive or Navarra Blue metallic for a stock color.

I have Nogaro. It really is an awesome color! The first compliment is always about the color, not the car.

I still don't see it available on AudiUSA site.

Well, I did it. I went in today and configured one of the allocations with my friendly neighborhood Audi Sport ambassador. Nogaro Blue it is!

Well, I have to give my sales guy a call then, I want one in Ara Blue Crystal as it was the color that they shown on the S5 on introduction and it was not available when the model finally arrive so I'm going to order it on the RS5.

To be fair, I did have to spend the +$3,900 for Audi Exclusive paint to get Nogaro.

Same here, The Ara Blue Crystal is from the S3 line so it's a special color for the RS5. I'm also looking into the Ascari Launch Edition to see if it's still available but the color looks different in different photos. In some, I like the look but in some, it seems a bit too dark (too close to the Navarra Blue metallic that I have on my S5) so I have to see if I can find more image of it before I decide.
