Audi S5 (A5 S line package photos not yet released)

We’re big fans of Audi’s S line packages for its non-S/RS passenger cars. Sure, while they may not boast the full-on sports models’ monstrous power, they look great, and for most drivers, the array of standard factory powertrain choices offer plenty of fun. Never mind the fact that the S line packages still keep the cars’ sticker prices well south of their high-performance kin.

The latest machinery wheeled out by Audi is the delicious-looking A5, along with its fierce, V8-powered S5 sibling. The A5 is plenty nice, however, and it’s set to be even better with the addition of the just-announced S line packages. A sport suspension featuring a 10mm drop is standard, and new 18″ 5-spoke or 19″ 7-spoke rolling stock is also part of the deal. Quattro Gmbh, which is responsible for the S line goodies, will add a 20″ wheel later on.

As we’ve seen on other S line vehicles, the front and rear bumpers are upgraded to feature new aerodynamics, including a diffuser insert at the rear and side vents up front. Said new bodywork can be coated in Misano Red and Avus Silver paint finishes. Inside, buyers can choose from three different interior trims, ranging from a cloth/leather combo to a leather/Alcantara setup. S line embroidery and badging are part of the deal, of course. Unfortunately, Audi hasn’t released any photos of the new goodies yet. Galleries of both the A5 and S5 are linked below, and we’ll post S line photos as soon as Audi releases them. The official press release is pasted after the jump.
