In Europe, Audi has been making Audi exclusive design packages for a while now. Now it appears, beginning with the new S5 (B10), they’re making this sort of package available in the United States as well.
What’s an Audi exclusive design package? The formula is basically this: the Audi design department goes through the deeper Audi exclusive catalogue and creates a more tailored specification considered by the very talented staff that designed the car itself. Prepackaged and sold as a stand alone option, it is theoretically more affordable than ordering such a unique interior from them on your own.
That said, the additional price isn’t nothing. The Audi exclusive design package will add another $7,500 to the price of the car. Also, it’s only available if you go for a Prestige package (i.e. highest specification) S5. With those two items (Prestige + Audi exclusive design package) the MSRP is $78,845.
Check out the Audi exclusive design package in the U.S. configurator tool HERE.
Incidentally, the U.S. configurator tool doesn’t seem to have a specific description, so we took the liberty of checking the German configurator with the same interior pictured. We’re going to go ahead and include that description here. That said, please be aware that there are frequently market differences between U.S. and German models, so we’re including this more as a reference on the color and trim, but not as literally exact. If you’re interested in the Audi exclusive design package and have specific questions, ask your dealer for more information.
