The exterior of this limited model is adorned in a matte Ibis White colour. The car is also accentuated by carbon fibre components and black Audi rings. The exterior is enhanced by the gloss red brake callipers against ceramic brakes. Firmly planted on 20-inch 5-Evo-spoke design Audi Sport wheels finished in a matte bronze polish, reminiscent of gold, the car presents a nod to Japan's classic white, red, and gold motif.

Inside, it gets a two-tone interior with black being the dominant shade, complemented by alabaster white diamond stitching for a striking contrast. The sports seats are wrapped in Nappa leather. The multifunction steering wheel is equipped with four control satellites, one of which finely tunes the engine's acoustic output. The door sill trim displays the "JAPAN FINAL EDITION" inscription coupled with a unique limited number for each of the eight specimens.

The limited edition model also comes with the Audi Magnetic Ride, which intuitively adjusts damping forces.
