Audi A5 DTM has a lot in common with its racetrack sibling. First of all, the design remains strongly influenced by the sporty version. The front lid, doors and rear window are restyled and emblazoned with DTM and Audi Sports logos. Furthermore, the Misano Red finish contrasts with the glossy black additions on the fronts and rear. In addition, the front apron and the air intakers also contribute the overall beautiful looks.
On the other hand, the interior comes with dominating highly contour seats, backrest covers and inlays and central console painted in red. The additional red stitching further enhances the looks and exclusivity of the vehicle, just like the sporty steering wheel and the stainless steel pedals.
