2014 Audi RS5 Cabriolet Buyers Guide – Black Optics vs Matte Aluminum Optics



RS5 Cab header gif1

We discovered yesterday how to make your $55,000 Audi A5 Cabrio look much like the hottest RS5 Cabrio — with the simple click of the $4,000 sport pack to upgrade to dark carbon-blade wheels and a darker, sporter front clip.

Is the RS5 also completely transformed and updated with its various add-on packages?

Yes and no.

There are three exterior themes available for the RS5 — but only the $3,000 Black Optics package is a must-buy. (Well, the Black Ops and the black Sport exhaust, actually.)

But the 2014 RS5 Black Optics package brings some of the most sinfully delicious gloss-black trim for all areas – along with some of the most gorgeous wheels of any car, at any price. The 20-inch “5-V” wheels on the RS5 Black Ops almost make the $25,000 upgrade in price from the $60,000 S5 seem like good value. Absolute heaven – and also updates the RS5’s style very effectively to compete well into 2015 with the M4 Convertible.
