Overview
About the vehicle
The 2008 Audi S5 pairs the original B8 coupe silhouette with a 4.2-litre naturally aspirated V8 and quattro all-wheel drive. Its long doors, restrained shoulder line and smoothly flared arches respond well to subtle wheel, paint and stance changes. In the Build Studio, the S5 can move from a period-correct OEM+ grand tourer to a lower contemporary street build while retaining the balanced proportions that define the early coupe.

Styling Guide
Expert advice on how to approach modifying the Audi S5. Learn how different choices affect the visual balance of this specific chassis.
Wheels & Fitment
The first-generation S5's rounded arches suit restrained split-spoke, rotor-style and open multi-spoke wheels. Bright silver keeps the period grand-touring character, graphite feels more contemporary, and bronze adds a warmer tuner contrast.
Suspension & Stance
A measured drop closes the factory arch gap and emphasizes the coupe's long roof arc. Keep camber mild so the tyres remain visually planted beneath the softly flared quattro body.
Paint & Finish
Deep metallic blue, grey and black complement the S5's understated surfacing, while solid red or white gives the grille and shoulder line stronger contrast. Gloss and metallic finishes carry reflections cleanly along the long doors.
