My new Audi Q5 3.2 Quattro S-tronic

[Tumbo]

How's the temperature for you? When I flew in from a quite cold Copenhagen, the entire plane almost went into heat shock.

Hehe, well, I dont spend that much time here during the worst heat in June-September (temp reaching 50C), so Im okay. And in the wintertime, like now, it's 18C-25C so its very nice As long as I get away from the awful winter in Scandinavia!

From heaps of snow to sand dunes. Congrats on the move.

Thanks!

I assume that my A4 back home will feel very old when I visit my homecountry next time... hehe.

Btw, I took the time to compare with the 300hp A4, to my 270 Q5.
A4 30-140: 9,5 sec
Q5 30-140: 10,9 sec

A4 50-90: 2,9 sec
Q5 50-90: 3,3 sec

So, damn my A4 is fast
It would be nice though to have them in a straight line race, and the Q5 would probably kill the A4 to 50km/h, cause of the Quattro, but then, when the A4 grips... See ya

So you're swedish, but located in the Middle East? That's interesting.

Actually I was born in Poland, but moved to Sweden as a kid, and lived there for 20 years, and now i'm in the Middle East yeah

MANY congrats! Enjoy your German wheels and thanks for the good quality pics

In order to see significant difference he needs a new exhaust including the downpipe and a racing performance catalytic converter. Changing the exhaust from the downpipe to the tip, won't make any important difference other than sound louder.

And even then the improvement will be small because the basic engine doesn't really need to get the gases away that much quicker. It's only when you start to tune the engine will the need for an exhaust system will become more benifical.

Though the note is will provide regardless of tune will always be welcome.

Took her for a spin in the desert today
Mission accomplished more then well!

Tumbo, how did it cope on the soft stuff?

Tumbo, how did it cope on the soft stuff?

Well, I didnt push her to hard cause the fear of getting lot of small stones on the paint, but on the soft sand, I didnt notice any problems at all

 

[Tumbo]

So, here come two small modds. Small, but it makes a difference

* 50% titanium window tint all around
* LED-bulbs for the rear registration plate

Next on the "to do" list is order the S-line grille, and the S-line front bumper. Im in love with that look, and hate that mine isnt S-line

Yes,that design truly shines with an S-line package. Your Q5 is gorgeous none the less,but of course show pics when you finally get it done.

So, everytime Im gonna snap new pics of the car, Im gonna post them in this thread, so anybody that is interested, can check them. Here we go:

Next to a Toyota Land Cruiser, the Q5 is quite small



The feeling you get with the panorama roof:

Best rear-lights in any Audi car so far? In my opinion, defenitely one of them!


Every little detail, every little button, every little material... God I love Audis interior quality!


Here you can see the new Titanium 50% window tint better:



The amazing LED lights. Thank you Audi for showing the automotive industry, the use of the LEDs
