Caractere: Custom Audi A5/S5 news...

From Motorauthority...

Europe’s tuners have a knack for creating overly aggressive bodykits that usually detract from the original lines of the car they’re trying to enhance. The latest kit from Belgian tuner Caractere doesn’t fall into that category. Its new accessory range for the A5 lineup looks as though it could have come from Audi’s own factory, giving the car just the right amount of aggression.

The kit includes new and rear bumpers with slightly larger are intakes and new rear diffuser with integrated exhaust tips. A small bootlid spoiler and a fresh set of 19in forged alloy wheels complete the look of the Caractere A5.

The new styling pack officially goes on sale in June and worldwide shipping is available.

Wow, that's perfect.

Now if it's not $6k the A5 looks like a good alternative.

Otherwise, spend the money on the S5 and get the more aggressive look AND 340hp

Wheels are pretty dope... I like the front better except for that fog light surround. wtf were they thinking, it looks so awkward. I like the OEM rear better for sure though. The pic of the Caractere rear looks like a character from the movie 'Cars'

Not me man, I love the kit. The only issue is that it's gonna be so expensive to buy, paint, and install that the stock S5 is a better deal.
