This 2015 Audi S5 coupe combines an uncommon Audi exclusive specification with Nogaro Blue, a color closely associated with the brand’s performance history.

Although the listing identifies the exterior simply as blue, we have confirmed it as Nogaro Blue. The color is best known for its association with the Audi RS 2 Avant and has subsequently appeared on other Audi performance models.

Audi exclusive examples remain relatively uncommon among cars of this age, and Nogaro Blue adds interest to an already sought-after model. The B8.5-generation S5 coupe’s proportions and restrained detailing have aged well, while the two-tone black and grey leather interior with carbon fiber trim provides a handsome pairing with the exterior.

This 2015 model is a facelifted example, commonly called the B8.5. It uses Audi’s supercharged 3.0-liter V6, paired here with a seven-speed S tronic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive. That configuration combines the S5’s performance with the practicality of an all-weather coupe.

With 113,000 miles recorded, maintenance history and condition will be important considerations for a prospective buyer. The principal distinction is its factory specification: a B8.5 S5 finished in a recognizable and desirable Audi exclusive color, offered at a price that puts it within reach of buyers seeking an older Audi performance model.
