Win a Nardo Grey Audi RS5 or $50,000 Cash — Freedom Street Garage FSG22

The build: a Nardo Grey B9 RS5

Freedom Street Garage's twenty-second giveaway centers on what the brand calls the "Midnight RS5" — a B9-generation Audi RS5 in Nardo Grey, the flat concrete shade that became the unofficial uniform of fast Audis. The entry page lists the 444-hp 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6, eight-speed automatic, RS Sport Suspension Plus with Dynamic Ride Control, variable RS sport exhaust, carbon exterior accents, 20-inch 5-arm flag-design forged wheels, and honeycomb-stitched Nappa buckets. Read that list twice and you'll notice it's all factory option-sheet hardware — no aftermarket claims, which in giveaway land is usually good news. What FSG doesn't publish: model year, mileage, or whether it's a coupe or Sportback. Every B9 RS5 is quattro all-wheel drive, so at least that box checks itself.

Why it matters

The B9 RS5 is the depreciation curve's quiet bargain — a daily-civil 444-hp grand tourer that hangs with M4s and C63s while looking like an A5 with a gym membership, and clean examples now trade right around the $50k mark. Which brings up the honest part: per the official rules, the grand prize is legally $50,000 cash (ARV $50,000), with the RS5 as the way FSG merchandises it. That's not a knock — FSG's previous-winners page shows the cash option is real and regularly taken (their Huracan winner took $200,000) — but know that you're effectively playing for a $50k check that happens to have an RS5 parked on top of it.

The fine print worth knowing

The membership funnel sells an FSG VIP subscription at $12.95/month for 25 entries every month, recurring until canceled. The main shop adds one-shot routes — the $15 FSG22 Digital Pack currently shows 75 entries, merch from about $10 carries entries, and the rules' base rate is one entry per dollar with limited-time multipliers (a 5X banner was live at this writing). The free route matters: a valid mail-in gets you 50 entries, no purchase, to the administrator's Pittsford, NY address. Open to the US and Canada, 18+, license or permit required, and all taxes are on the winner — budget accordingly on a $50k prize. One flag from our desk: the entry funnel says the sweepstakes ends February 5, 2027 with a February 15 drawing, while the official rules and site FAQ say May 7, 2027 with a drawing on or about May 17, 2027. The rules govern; confirm before you plan around either date.
