Ascari is a fantastic blue. Ask me how I know.

Ascari was the sole reason I bought my car in February 2019. Went in for a Navarra Blue S5, fell in love with Ascari to the point I didn't mind a lesser powered vehicle.

Turbo Blue now discontinued for most 2023 models. Ascari taking its place. Is there any green in Ascari when in the sun? Looks very nice so far, but seems different in many photos.

No green. maybe a tint of purple under certain lighting condition. Here's a bunch of photos under different light source.




These 2 was sent to me from Audi Palo Alto when they want $10K over MSRP for theirs while there are 5 of them in stock or en route to varies dealerships within 50 miles around the Bay Area




I took these of the Coupe that was available at San Jose Audi under the sun on a bright sunny day while mine was en route




These are mine when it was sitting at San Jose when it got it hit with a Stop Sale Order from Audi right when it arrives at the dealership before I can finish the paperwork.




These are taken in the shade on a sunny day after I finally picked mine up.




These last two were after I had a full front wrap done and Ceramic Coated the rest of the car.

Can't thank you enough for the additional pics. It's a splendid color, no question! I wish Audi made shades like these more widely available. But of course that would diminish the exclusivity.
Enjoy your car!

Personal opinion - Ascari looks much better with black optics. I'll find a photo.

These were taken before I swapped to black badges and black exhaust tips, but you can an idea...

No way! Ascari is dark enough that the brushed alum trim actually works out very well. I would not want BO on mine. BO is overrated! 😛

Hey all, I just remembered I took some photos of my car next to an Ascari Blue back in 2020. Here are a few pics in direct sunlight for a direct comparison of the two colors.

2018 Navarra next to 2020 Ascari Blue
