Default Audi RS5 colour choice

Thinking of ordering an RS5 over the next few days... I'm thinking about either the Sepang Blue or Phantom Black, but haven't seen many good photos of the black. Also how does the Sepang Blue look with the Black Styling Package? Worth it?


Best wishes
James

The only issue I have with the black is that you lose some of the details because of the dark colour. Given the choice I would go with Sepang.

Maybe I'm biased with my Sprint Blue S5, but I would also vote for Sepang Blue. My other choice would be Suzuka Gray.

I had a Sprint Blue S4 a while back, and like the blue (and a Nogaro Blue S4 before that) - so I am quite tempted.

Wondering about the Panoramic Sunroof...

I personally like the moonroof in my S5 and don't mind that it only tilts open (it doesn't slide back). Others dislike it and would rather not have it if there was an option to delete in the US.

If you do want the moonroof, I would recommend having it tinted if you like in a very sunny area. The perforated screen doesn't block out the light very much. Being in the Pacific Northwest, it's not a huge problem. In San Diego, Arizona or Texas, that's a different story.

Changing my mind a bit now - tempted by Panther Black + Black package, with the panoramic sun roof

I didn't think the RS5 had a sun roof option. Every picture I have seen was always a hard top.

Sepang Blue with the black styling package would be perfection

You can only order in your head, no dealers are taking any RS5 orders yet.
