The man who made the old Audi A5 said it was his best-ever work. Even after all these years, the 2-door model has many fans, and some of them are even crazy enough to install a Liberty Walk body kit.
To be honest, this is the least shocking conversion we've seen from the folks at LW Performance. The base car looks like a regular pre-facelift model, so it's about as cheap as the kit itself.
Unless we are mistaken, this widebody A5 Coupe was presented during the Tokyo Auto Salon about five months ago. Since then, it's gained a few new trim pieces and some stickers worthy of a Japanese tuning project. Let me hear you say, this shit is bananas, b-a-n-a-n-a-s!
As usual, the package is made up of many different parts that bolt onto the factory body. Thankfully, the fenders of the A5 are flat, and the doors don't get in the way, so the transformation must have been easy to pull off.
For the side skirts and air splitters, Kato Wataru, and his team went for an old-school squared off design. It won't do much for the downforce, but it takes the A5 back to the Ur-Quattro era.
Noteworthy features include adjustable struts for the front blade and a trunk lid spoiler that's bigger than on any supercar.
Of course, the whole point of a Liberty Walk body kit is to give tuners room to install much wider tires, which is exactly what the Stormtrooper A5 has. We also notice that it has special Falken tires and an exhaust system from FLexhaust. Without air suspension, it would have this cool of a stance either.
We leave you with all the footage that we could find, which also includes video from one of Japan's many stance-related magazines. Apparently, the A5 has an R8 sister car it likes to play with.
