Looks fantastic!

Have to agree on your choice. That color does get make a statement. Really looks great in bright sunlight. Would have had that myself...if I didn't like black so much. But, being that I have had nothing but black cars since 1974...chances are I'm not going to change anytime soon.

I'm not a fan of Red for a car like a unique Audi S5 or RS5 but this comparo attached shows the difference pretty well.

Peter: I was not a fan of red on German cars either until I saw the brilliant red S5 that I bought. My loves the color too.

To OP: If you are a red fetish guy AND you trade cars often, you may enjoy the Volcano Red more for its exclusivity. I like the Volcano Red but would have to see it in person to be sure.

I admit to liking orange though. Someone posted pictures of a Samoa color (orange-like) S5 about 2-3 weeks ago, and I nearly fell out of my chair with lust.

Sooo...I did see the dealer's S4 in Volcano red in a parking lot under overcast skies and it was not brand-spanking new. In other words, real life conditions and while I did like it, I could not pull the trigger on it and ordered the Misano Red. It literally would have had to bowl me over and it did not.

But my '13 S5 is a Volcano Red/Magma Red seats, and it's a head turner...lots of folks compliment me on the type of red in that it's not the fire engine one...great car all around
