    Did a forum search on this topic using a few keywords but didn't get the results I was looking for (none actually).

    For the US-spec RS 5's what minor changes followed each production year?


    Info from numerous resources suggest the following:
    - 14/15's got larger shifter paddles
    - 15's got new wheel design
    - Titanium package name changed to Black optics (not sure what year, but not really valuable information since the package remained the same)
    - 15's got red RS branded rear brake calipers
    - Ventilated seats (think 14/15 but correct me if I'm wrong)

    What else if anything changed?

    The red calipers were a $500 option on my 2015.

    Model year differences

    As far as I know the 15 had the following options that were new compared to the other MY:
    - option for red calipers
    - option for matte black 5 arm rotor wheels
    - black optics package now included a carbon fiber engine cover

    I think the MY 13 had the rear sunshade option. Don't think that carried into the 14 and 15, but I could be wrong. Not sure if I'm missing anything.
