Audi A5 DTM Special Edition

Audi A5 - Rott "Rocky" Rocket

Special DTM Edition of the Audi A5 in Misano red - Get the V6T.

Audi will start taking orders next week for a limited series A5 in recognition of eight wins in the DTM race series - Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (or in English "German Touring Car Masters".) Bearing the moniker Rocky, it is the nickname for Mike Rockenfeller, who as Audi's DTM racer, just took home his first DTM champion's title.

The car will sell at a premium with 20" alu wheels, badging everywhere and a fixed wing trunk spoiler. There is no guarantee the machine will be available in North America; however, in related DTM news, there is a rumour that The United Sports Car Racing group could host a DTM event in the US. Keep your fingers crossed because if that happens - you'd get to see the car directly below. Eat your heart out Tony Stark.

Changes in Audi Models ALL.THE.TIME

Facelifts (if you're a first time Audi owner) are the subtle changes made to models (in between the complete makeovers that occur every 4 - 6 years) to ensure that new car buyers are getting the best shiny ever; this is easy enough as a marketing concept to understand because most new car buyers don't want to own last year's model.

Cars falling within a specific model span (indentified by version and chassis) can be more difficult to gauge as to whether they are "pre-face" or "facelift" models. The cosmetic stylings (apart from the invisible engineering changes) can be so subtle that only the owner will know. As an example, we provide this pictogram of the difference between the original Audi A5 and the Facelift Audi A5. You can nail this content down in 5 minutes and consider yourself an A5 B8 authourity.
