As a kid, I remember playing a little game to help pass the time on road trips: every time something low, wide and red drove past I’d shout “Ferrari!” and laugh as the other kids in the car got whiplash trying to catch a glimpse of the Corvette, Trans-Am, or 3000GT I’d purposefully misidentified. Perhaps Hofele had that game in mind when it designed this R8-alike-ish bodykit for the A5. Of course, it’s also possible that they just though it looks good. You never know with tuners.

Looks like a camouflaged factory prototype. Would be annoying to look at every day.
Aah! Oh god that’s hideous. And to do it to the A5, arguably the sexiest coupe design on the road today.
It’s like giving Heidi Klum a boob job.
More like giving Heidi Klum a handlebar moustache. Yuk.
So how long before honda civics are sporting this look, yo?
I fully expect to see one tomorrow, unpainted and damaged.
FAILZ
By the way… being a kid during the 3K GT heyday means you’re about my age.
Achtung! Mein penis ist klein!
some of that pontiac thing going on under the rear lights
I can’t wait for the Ford GT body kit to come out for the Mustang. I am so buying that.
LOL, I thought it was camo too.
If I suggested who might buy this, I’d be accused of some kind of “ism.”
Wuss. That’s scardyism. ;-)
The most amazing thing is that it hasn’t appeared on Riced Exotics yet.
This seems like an answer to a question nobody asked.
Is “Hofele” pronounced similarly to woeful?
The most appealing thing about Audis is the driving experience. The second most appealing thing is the design. (One could even argue reversing those.) And third is the fact that most of the people who buy them aren’t the sort of tools who would do this to a car.
It’s not a fail, it’s a WIN*
*(That is, if the contest was to see who could most effectively demolish the A5/S5’s sublime styling)
The black rear and side panels look like they were just replaced and need to be painted to me.
I think Walter de’Silva should be given permission by the German government to shoot whoever did this in the middle of his face. That’s basically what was done to the A5 here.
Aye carumba! DO NOT WANT! Please return to sender.
Good god! How ghetto. Scratch that, I don’t think you’d even find something this cheezy in the ghetto. I’m picturing a lot of gold plated chains. A Fauxlex watch. Prado shades and a lot of Bod cologne.
The stuff they can do with pond liner these days… amazing.
Can’t be any worse than a completely Kermit-green (or was it pink?) one.
(BTW, I’ve been pressing “George Bush” on the USAFIS page ad and am being treated like an idiot.)
I am all for getting away from that “monochromatic” look that’s ben done to death, but this seems like just random pieces purchased off the rack at Pep Boys or from a JC Whitney catalog and stuck where ever someone thought they’d fit.
Pretty awful.
Other than being freaking ugly, nothing!
