Audi A5 by Hofele | « » 9:57 PM 8/15/2007 | |

The international-know Audi-tuner Hofele-Design has developed a new design concept for the Audi A5 Coupe. Part of this new design concept are the front & rear bumper made of the high-quality material PKG with big air intakes. The used lamella mesh reminds of the lines of the new Audi R8 and gives the A5 Coupe a more aggressive look. The front was designed more rounder as on the original A5. Full Story

I like the side skirt, but I like the A5 without gaping vents all over the place and I think the nose looks longer, which I don't like; I also like the 19" 5-spokes (with the spokes crossing over each other) better than the wheels shown [and the tyre profile looks too small] the only bit of the interior I would change in the stock A5 is replace the steering wheel with a TT/R8 wheel, otherwise it's perfect. I do, however, like the sound of a more powerful 3.0 TDI. My question is, what will Audi do about the BMW 335d (100 PS/litre is great for a gas engine, let alone a diesel.)?

WOW I think the front is nice, relatively clean... then I saw the back and had to step away from the computer screen in terror. HOOOO that's unpleasant.....

The back looks like they were going for the R8 look... and failed miserably.

If the front was toned down just a bit it wouldn't be all that bad. Agree with others the back is very poor execution.If you're going to do an imitation kit, how about a DBS-lite kit. Think it would look awesome on our baby Aston.

as i scrolled through this topic i was surprised to find i hadn't posted my utter disgust sooner. I will do this now: The kit is ****ing horrible. "Let's turn every Audi into an R8 and by doing so completely destroy the uniqueness of the R8"...Great!

I like it, but not in this color car. Put it in a dark car and it would look great, imo.
If there is dissatisfaction with the status quo, good. If there is ferment, so much the better. If there is restlessness, I am pleased. Then let there be ideas, and hard thought, and hard work.
