Audi introduces the limited edition A5 DTM selection edition

Audi has introduced the A5 DTM selection edition, a limited edition version of the A5 whose design is inspired by the heavily-modified RS5 that competes in the German Touring Car Master's (DTM) racing series.

Audi hasn't made any mechanical modifications to the A5 DTM selection edition, powered by a stock 3.0-litre TDI V6 engine that delivers 245bhp, transferred to all four wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

The A5 DTM selection edition stands out thanks to a misano red paint job, gigantic Audi Sport emblems on the doors and on the hood as well as gloss black trim on both ends, and rides on 20-inch alloy wheels. The cockpit boasts sport seats plucked from the RS5 parts bin, misano red trim on the center console and a flat-bottomed steering wheel that's partially upholstered in Alcantara. The rest of the cabin is largely standard A5 fare, though the limited edition model boasts puddle lights that project the DTM logo.

The Audi A5 DTM selection edition is limited to just 50 examples in Germany.
