Senner Tuning has released its take on Audi's S5 Coupe. The call it the White Beast - apparently the Germans learned their "lesson" after last year's "White Power" RS6...
It wears a wide-inlet front fascia, while the rear apron comes from Rieger (done in "carbon look", something I wouldn't want on a Jetta, let alone an S5).
Can you guess what's coming next? Yup, there's also a lip spoiler on the trunk and LED tail lights. "But this is still not enough. As the name "White Beast" implies, not only the optics but also the engine power have been upgraded." And away we go.
Output gets a bump to 384 horsepower (+30 hp) and 475 Nm / 350 lb-ft of torque (+35 Nm / +26 lb-ft) thanks to the new air filter, exhaust system, and "parametric surface optimization". Top speed is also up, at 285 km/h (177 mph).
New springs drop the car 40mm in front and 35mm in back, and the version you see here rides on diamond black 21-inch Work Varianza T1S rims ("produced exclusively for Senner Tuning").
Inside, there's all the blood-red Audi you can ask for, along with some extra (and real) carbon trim around the dash.
Here's the best part: "There is also a fancy foot mat of high-quality velour – this is where sport ambitions merge with individuality."
So THAT'S where it happens.
