Jose Da Cruz wanted something sporty and luxurious that also complimented his love for the Euro car scene. With that criteria in mind, the 2009 Audi S5 was a perfect fit. With some carefully chosen mods both inside and out, he's transformed his S5 into a completely different vehicle with looks to kill.
