Caractere’s new look for the Audi A5/S5



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.

hmm i donno what to think...

I think all our cars need is some sort of front add-on spoiler...for some reason this complete bumper upgrade seems excessive and just doesn't turn me on.

and I don't dig that rear...very Acura TL-esque...even the trunklid spoiler bothers me, just ruins the clean body line of the car.

I've been looking at kits, and nothing has caught my eye...closest is probably this add-on w/ cf splitter but I don't dig the sideskirts or the rear...still too busy.

that rear diffuser above me (not hte caractere) looks great! I think that Caractere can probably sell a lot of those grille's alone to people who aren't fancying the rest of hte kit since its RS4 style grille, and a lot of people like that

I like the rear diffuser from the second tuner "Reiger" thats great and will flow well with the rest of the oem parts especially with the RS4 wheels.

I like the front a lot, not so much on the back and the second rear end picture (not the caractere one) looks really good as well.

Caractere does it again. The front and rear are clean yet aggressive.
Rieger looks cheap and busy as usual.

The stock S5 body is already very appealing but I think the caractere kit along with some 3 piece wheels would just set it on another level.
