Spy Shots: US spec Audi A5 spotted in California

The Audi A5 doesn’t come out in the US until later this Summer but some lucky folks in California are already driving around in the beautiful coupe. A Fourtitude reader spotted this preproduction A5 cruising down the streets of Cali.

“Eagle-eyed reader Philip Dea spotted one of Audi’s North American-spec A5 preproduction cars in California recently. We’ve confirmed this car’s existence with several Audi of America representatives who’ve driven the very car. Note in particular the wheels, a new design not-yet seen but definitely due to go into production say our sources.”

I saw this exact car on the PCH about 5 or 6 weeks ago... It looks beautiful in person.

This is going to be a winner. I can only hope that the build quality and drving dynamics can be as beautiful as the styling!!!

I saw a black one in the Beverly Hills area three weeks ago. Beautiful! This red color is better, though. First car besides the RR Sport that looks good in maroon.

haven't been lucky enough to see the A5, but saw a Black R8 down here in Long Beach, CA. That car is just soooooo goddamn amazing to look at. EVERYONE (and by everyone I mean EVERYONE in cars, on the street, police, etc.) just stopped to stare at the car. Such an amazing piece of work and even more amazing that for once there's a car that looks this amazing besides Lamborghini that is NOT a concept car.

Audi obviously has the best styling studio in Europe.

This is just on of those cars that you can't wait to see in person, all you lucky Californian's get the 1st look on this side of the world as usual.

Don't kill me for this one but in that particular pic looks kind of incognito. In the press pics it looks like a car that will stand out of the crowd, but not as much here.
