Saw this beauty at work today. Figured I would share! It truly is stunning in person, and the new interior/seats look awesome.

**Mops@Nemesis** · 11-08-2016 07:19 PM

Any more pics?

**slowturbo** · 11-08-2016 07:27 PM

Here is one other. Didnt get a lot of good pics because of all the glare from the sun. If its there tomorrow I will try to get some better photos.

Ooo you work at AoA? Aren't employees not allowed to park in visitor spots

**slowturbo** · 11-08-2016 07:47 PM

Not for Audi specifically but yeah, for VWGOA. That is not an employee's car, but probably part of the demo or press fleet. Lots of cool cars get to park in those visitor spots :)

Now that I think about it, I recognize your car from your avatar photo. I saw it parked a few spots over maybe a month ago? Beautiful Q5!

**q5 dave** · 11-08-2016 07:59 PM

Thank you!! Yes that was me. Maybe you'll be seeing more of it soon

beautiful car.. more importantly Dave why are you at AoA

**JohnEnglish** · 11-09-2016 12:45 PM

Ask what's going on with the RS5 sportback.

**Loe** · 11-09-2016 02:07 PM

yes, stunning! I live near Audi's Pinellas Park, FL test facility and I saw it in person without camo the day after the world release. Looks great in person, so does the cabrio and sportback models that I've seen floating around in camo (and just today a sportback S5 in the flesh).

**shadyreddy** · 11-09-2016 02:54 PM

That does look good, better than the press photos atleast. Do you have any pictures from the front? :)

**dseag2** · 11-11-2016 08:54 PM

It looks great because you didn't show the front end. Aside from that, the S5 is stunning.

**slowturbo** · 11-14-2016 09:03 PM

Sorry about the lack of front end photos guys. When I finally had time to go out and take some new photos, I did not see it out there. I will update if I spot it again.

I think it will compete well within its segment.

Excellent, thanks! Any idea if we will get the full version of the LED headlights or a dumb downed version? And of course, when can I order this? (please prevent me from buying a M4...).

**JohnEnglish** · 11-23-2016 01:56 PM

We get full LEDs, just not the Matrix LEDs.

So, dumbed down. Do we get the right hardware to after the fact do a little programming to make them act like ROW? (M4 - you can do this fairly easily yourself or pay someone to do this for you...)

The Matrix LED headlights are physically different from the standard LED headlights so no. I wonder if you could order replacement units from Europe and retrofit them.

The BMW system isn't as complex as Audi's so that's why they can do it with the standard LED lights. The Audi Maxtrix Beam lights have a lot more individual LEDs so it can create much more complex patterns for different situations. Putting them only on cars with that option is a cost savings measure.
