The laminate glass fiber body of the Audi RSQ is coated with lunar silver paint, which creates the so-called flop effect.
When exposed to intensive light the bluish sheen of the silver paint takes on a golden tone. The striking shape of the angular body cutouts for the head-light modules influence the front-end appearance of the Audi RSQ. They are combined with side air inlets. The xenon light tubes behind the clear-glass covers enhance the character of the front-end design. The steering wheel is another element in this aircraft cockpit analogy. Like an elevator control, it is open at the top and folds out of the instrument panel after the driver has entered the car. The air conditioning and radio of the Audi RSQ are classified as secondary functions. Entertainment functions have been omitted in favor of the sporting concept.
