Daily Mail said:
Although his new toy - worth at least £59,530 - sets him apart from many other young men in Britain, the Prince then came back to down to earth by driving the gunmetal grey Audi 5S5 to an evening kick-about with a few close friends.
Full Story

and LOL at the sites that clearly just copy the daily mail

google search for Audi 5S5

If it turns out audi do actually make a 5S5 then i will hang my head in shame!

Does he have any freedom in what cars he is allowed? Audi have some sort of contract with the family don't they? Being given an S5 sounds great initially, but not having any freedom in what you get would soon be a drag..... if that is what is happening.

Seen a picture of him in a black A3 S-Line before that too, not sure on the engine ETC.

I agree, would be mortified too if Audi was to give me an RS5 and ask me not to drive anything else for a while....

Audi lend cars to the Royals and have done for years. I would guess that Audi suggest cars and then spec them accordingly. Usually they are absolutely fully loaded.

I don't think many indian engineers were involved in the design of the F type for some reason. I may be wrong however.
