Red S5 Spotted in Santa Monica

Murphy'sBrother · 08-05-2007, 06:54 PM

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
