2011 S5 facelift pics?

fenwayfan · 11-16-2009, 03:03 PM

Found these from http://www.imotormag.co.uk/news/1267...ew_engine.html

I don't think these have been posted already. I apologize if they have.
I'm attaching them here for convenience.

According the original poster, the S5 coupe will be fitted with the new S4’s 3.0-litre supercharged V6.

I'm in the market for an A5 coupe 3.2 prestige S-Line but wonder how soon the 2011 model would come here to NA. It kills me to wait any longer but if there's a facelift for 2011, I'd rather wait then.

Still driving my A4 Cab but starting to have a few issues with the car.

More pics.

Those are not pics of a facelifted S5 - those are pictures of an RS5 test mule.

The 3.0SC V6 may indeed be coming for next year, although there is also a widespread rumor the S5 is keeping the V8.

What is this colour? Meteor grey?

Looks more like Daytona Grey...

Yeah, too bad it costs $2500 to get a great color like that.

RS5 Test Mule, if that's what you call a face lift, 470HP NA V8, huge air intakes, then ... yeah Audi has really stepped up it's game.

For me, the facelift is not that dramatic, but if the clean diesel engine became available in the A5, that would be compelling.

I guess you missed the part, where we said that's not a face lifted S5, that's actually the RS5 test mule, it's a regular S5 body, with increased air intakes.

Actually (to repeat) this is not a facelift. This is a test mule for the RS5 and these pics have been around for a while.

As with all RS models, the RS5 will have a more aggressive front-end with large air intakes. Beyond that any other tweaks to the sheetmetal for the RS5 aren't clear.

BTW this clearly isn't a facelift as these pics still show the older non-LED tail lights.
