Audi are bringing a dash of exclusivity to the upcoming Paris Motor Show. They will be showing off a limited production vehicle from quattro GmbH, which Audi is presenting as the “SQ5 TDI Audi exclusive concept.”

The performance SUV will be showcasing new design solutions in the interior and an exclusive exterior finish in a limited production run for Europe of just 50 vehicles.

With 230 kW, the Audi SQ5 TDI is the new top model of the Q5 model series and also the first S model in the history of Audi with a diesel engine. After its public debut at the 2012 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Audi SQ5 TDI has been confirmed for an Australian launch in the first half of 2013.

The status of the “SQ5 TDI Audi exclusive concept” to be shown at the Paris Motor Show is readily apparent from its appearance alone. The Aral Blue crystal effect exterior finish was specially developed for the exclusive, limited production model and conveys an amazing feeling of depth. As with every S model from Audi, the exterior mirrors are in aluminium look. Xenon plus headlights with LED daytime running lights are standard. The four exhaust tailpipes dominate the rear of the vehicle.

The interior of the “SQ5 TDI Audi exclusive concept” dazzles with striking contrasts. The leather multifunction sports steering wheel and the gear lever gaiter in black Fine Nappa leather are accentuated with contrasting stitching in snow white, as are the centre armrest and the dashboard cover.

A special highlight are the black sport seats covered in Fine Nappa leather, which also feature contrasting stitching in snow white and black, woven leather in the centre section of the seats. The SQ5 TDI Audi exclusive concept marks the first time that woven leather has been used in a production vehicle.

The Alcantara headlining, the blind for the sunroof and the inlays and applications in the doors shimmer in snow white. The inlays are natural grain ash. The open-pored veneer has been specially treated to emphasize the grain. The door trims and the entry sills sport Audi exclusive badges.

Production of the “SQ5 TDI Audi exclusive concept” is limited to 50 vehicles, and it is currently only offered for sale in Europe. There is no further information available on the possibility of an Australian introduction for this limited model.

Australian pricing and specification details of the Audi SQ5 TDI will be announced closer to launch.
