Default Estoril Blue Crystal for S5

I see Estoril Blue Crystal listed as an S5 only color in the 2012 A5/S5 dealer brochure.

Does anyone actually have one of these?

Since it's a MY13 color for the 5 series, no one in North America has it yet. I think the Q5 or Q7 has it in their colour range as well. There's a previous thread with pics.

Thanks, I searched for Estoril Blue and came up with nothing - did not find thread with pictures.

I too am interested in the Estoril Blue crystal effect. I have some cell phone pictures that I think came from the other thread that was mentioned.

I was curious about what a "crystal effect" was. I asked a sales man and he said that it was like pearl. I don't completely believe that. I also asked on the Audi website earlier today.

Here's the shots that I have so far.

That Estoril Blue Crystal is fabulous! Why did Audi print 2012 A5/S5 brochures in North America showing Estoril Blue Crystal and Misano Red Pearl, when no 2012 A5/S5 exist?

Sorry, I was not concise. I meant, why did Audi print a 2012 A5/S5 brochure showing Estoril Crystal Blue as an S5 only color, when no 2012 Audi S5's were produced in that color.

I have a red 2012 S5, so I do know they S5's are still being produced.
