Default D5 exterior "sport package" - North America

Does this package give you functioning exhausts? It looks real, but I don't think it is. Anyone know?

I originally thought they were actual exhaust port cutouts, but now doubt they are. Looks to me that in the video there are dual exhaust tips peaking out under the rear bumper cover below the (faux?) exhaust port bumper inserts. Unfortunate decontenting happening there.

Thanks gents.

This is an absolutely ridiculous trend that needs to end.

the trend will continue, both among Audi, and others as well

at the end of the day if someone wants actual tips, the aftermarket can fairly easily handle that, + the skills of a decent fabircation person

I can confirm the sport package indeed gives fake "real" exhausts.

Normal package, and you can see the exhaust tips here: https://m.atcdn.co.uk/a/media/cc5acf...d201d1c167.jpg

Sport package, and you can still see the exhaust tips facing downwards towards the ground:

in order to have the exhaust to show through the exhaust port you must have the sports package. This feature is only offered in Euro.
