Default S5 Sportback Bought

Dealer called me on Friday to say they finally got their first S5 Sportback in. Went in Saturday morning and couldn't pass it up.

Looks great, I wasn't a huge fan of the Cavo wheels, stuck to the 18s with mine, but I think they look incredible with that color. Great choice!

Thanks plat and bt. I always found red to be a very tricky color. Some cars look really good with it, some not so much. I'll try to get some better pictures out soon since these were just quick on the lot shots.

Here are some photos of a Tango Red / Black S5 Sportback I took at my local dealer last Friday. Likely the combo I'll end up with. I really did want to drive home in it but I'm not ready yet

Nice photos of the Tango Red SB! I thought the interior was grey but when I looked at the window sticker you posted, they're black! The lighter grey interior would also look good with the red exterior.

I trying to decide between the black and grey interior. I do like that the black come with contrast (white) stitching so it makes things pop more and breaks up a solid color. I'm pretty sure the grey seats do not come with the contrast stitching.

I'm also trying to decide on the inlays. If I got with the black interior I think the carbon might make the interior too dark so maybe the brushed metal would be the better option.

Checking the build sheet, I noticed you can't even order Tango Red with a red interior. Not that I would, but why prevent one from going red-red?

The white stitching definitely helps the black interior have more interest. It would have been my second choice behind the red interior.

I would go with carbon in both cases. I am not a fan of the aluminum trim.

Looks amazing. Great choice! A different look in a sea of white/black/silver across America.
