The power of internet is just amazing. We randomly stumbled on a photo of this Audi A5 out of Japan a couple of months ago and with the power of internet we were able to not only get in touch with the owner of that particular photo, but also arrange a proper photoshoot just for you guys! Thankfully So (photographer) was able to get in touch with Haru (owner of the A5) and before you know it this awesome set of photos was waiting in our inbox. We’ve been meaning to put this feature out for a couple of weeks now but had to keep pushing it back because our new website design was taking up all of our time so without further adieu we present to you Harus beautiful Audi A5 Sportback!

Yes, what you’re looking at is the all new 2011 Audi A5 2.0TFSI Sportback. The owner “Haru” tried to leverage perfect body lines of his white A5 Sportback by adding a black theme to the car. It features Piano Black OEM RS5 grill, a set of 20 inch monoblock wheels, and various carbon fiber parts that were blended well in rather “simple styling” to make this already sexy A5 even sexier. The car is lowered on AS Sport Coilovers which were developed by Quantum Racing for not only looks but also handling and stability. As a matter of fact Haru occasionally takes it out to winding roads and race tracks of Japan to push the car to it’s limit, but at the end of the day he enjoys the smooth and comfortable ride throughout the city, on daily basis. We can only imagine how many necks this thing breaks.
The Prodrive 20 inch monoblock wheels sit perfectly with a ton of effort of detailed camber adjustments and of course offset. They are GC-012L in 20×9.5″ up front with Bridgestone S001 245/30/20 tires and 20×10.5″ in the rear with Bridgestone S001 285/25/20 tires. Haru says “I never had or have any problems with rubbing and the car rides even better than S-Line suspension with 18 inch wheels.” His future plans include an upgrade of the brake system to a Big Brake Kit, full exhaust system, and of course, ECU tuning. He has also been thinking about upgrading the audio system and interior a bit but it sounds like he’s got plenty other mods that he would like to do first.
In detail, under the hood you will find Plasma Direct Ignition Coils with Defi Boost Gauge built into air vent. Haru also added AS Sports Center Rigid Frame, AS Sports AS500 Brake Pads & as we said before, AS Sports Coilovers. His front grill is all custom as you can tell and he is also rocking the AS Sport Carbon front spoiler along with the AS Sport Carbon rear trunk lip spoiler. Class, elegance, sexiness, comfort, luxury. Those are just a few words that come to our mind when we look at this Audi. How about you? Drop a comment below and let us know what’s on your mind.
We’ll leave you with a few more awesome photos that So Kikuya shot for us. Big thanks to him for making this feature possible and of course a huge thanks goes out to Haru for wanting to share his ride with us.
