The new 2012 Audi S5 4.2 Special Edition was first unveiled on the automaker’s Facebook page, an increasingly popular place for carmakers to leak news. (Buick Facebook fans saw teaser shots of its new Encore compact SUV before the official reveal at the 2012 Detroit auto show.)

We don’t have too much information, but it looks like the 4.2 Special Edition includes the Prestige Package and adds distinctive dark silver paint, unique five-spoke wheels, black and white leather interior trim, carbon fiber inlays in the cabin and “Audi exclusive” badging.
