Facelift UK RS3 Saloon/SB (400ps) Order Thread...

[Alex L]

Just had a quick read through the last couple of pages, can someone clarify what this "Sports Pack" is please?

I've recently ordered an RS3 for my other half (22nd September) and told that it's likely to be built week 49, although this could be pushed back a bit due to Exclusive Paint. I've also gone to town on options and would be interested to know whether some of these are now combined within the Sports Pack.

 

[AlexDR]

Been offered an available now, unregistered TTRS in panther, £62K before negotiation....

 

[Radman]

What is the sports pack and why are they releasing it now? Is it to prop up sales???

Maybe it makes it sound as good as the PFL?

Sports Pack is the Sports Exhaust, Mag Ride and TPMS all in one pack for £1700

Alex... did you jump on a concealed order or was it a new order you made? I put my order in around the same time as yours and when I enter it into the tracker I get the same, not found, message

My order took around 10 days to show up on the system. I was also getting that error message until that time.

Mine was ordered 14 days ago and still nothing... hopefully will change soon

I’m heading back to the dealers on Friday to add to the order so will have to ask again then

Thanks Phil, I've specced all of those separately so will email the dealer now. I'm not sure whether it was a concealed order that was changed, I just showed them my configurator code and the salesman did the rest. The audi configurator is pretty crap, Matrix lights have only just re-appeared.

This is my current spec:

Porsche Riviera Blue
Gloss Anthracite wheels
Supersport seats with grey stitching
Comfort and Sound Package
Deletion of model badges at rear
Gloss black styling pack
Panoramic sunroof
Privacy glass
Extended interior upholstery pack
Dimming and folding mirrors
Audi active lane assist and side assist and Traffic Jam assist
Driver Assistance Pack
Red Calipers
RS Sports Exhaust
RS Sports suspension with magnetic ride

In the PFL you could only get the sports exhaust as a pack with the mag ride. So if a PFL has the exhaust it will also have mag ride.

My dealer's response..

"Because the car was ordered with Special Paint the order is all locked in now, however we can argue the toss with Audi when the invoice comes in!.

Leave it with me."

I currently have a Rs3 Saloon in Mythos Black on order with the standard aluminium pack and the upgraded alloys. I currently have gloss black with the diamond cut, but wondering if I should have gone Matt titanium . Does anyone on here have one/ seen one with these wheels.?

I think the order will be locked soon so need to make a decision

I'm finally getting round to picking my ara blue saloon up on Thursday, can post better pics then.
Only wheel pic I have is this, have a coupe with the car covered in shipping bog paper but the angle's all wrong.

If you want to see a mythos with titanium wheels:

I'd stick with gloss black on a black car, more of a match.

Car arrived today, quick turnaround and I collected it late afternoon. Didn't get any prep as its getting detailed.

Not driven it much but in dynamic it sounds awesome, few pops and cracks when free revving, more to come. Interior very nice, seats fantastic - very happy I chose the rock grey stitching and extended leather. Just need to figure out all the new tech.

Keith, thanks for this.

I agree gloss on the black now. There is a used one come up in the network with the gloss and it looks good.

The Daytona grey car that is in the link on the Oz site looks spot on too !

Looks great considering it hasn’t been prepped!

How many miles did it have on it when it arrived? Out of curiosity.

50miles in the delivery bay. Saw some paperwork stating 44 I think - will double check. About right for an RS car.

Sounded awesome when I started it on the delivery bay.

Yeah sounds about right, normally around 40 miles and anything else is the dealer.

I bet it did! My dealer doesn’t have a handover bay, so will be in the showroom.

Are you changing or colouring the wheels?

Picked up my Ara Blue saloon on Saturday, only my second Audi and first RS3 and the car looked stunning in the sunlight when the cover came off. My spec is quite low compared to sum, but so far for me personally I do not think the car needs anything else. I do not have either the black or silver pack and for me this works when seen in the flesh, I also have the standard wheels, again for me the finish on the wheels compliments the aluminium trim perfectly. I have gone for the silver interior and privacy glass, plus folding mirrors and comfort pack,plus the extended leather.
For those who have raised concerns about comfort access, there is a supplement to the manual which allows you to disable this feature, if you choose to.
From the reports I had read I was expecting the ride to be hard and unforgiving and have been really surprised how comfortable it is, it's certainly no worse than my last M3.
It's been a couple of years since I have had a performance car and even on part throttle the performance is amazing and quite effortless and the sound fantastic.
Can't wait to get the car run in to start experiencing the performance, I think I will be driving everywhere with a permanent grin

I see that TPMS is listed on the pdf pricelist (7K3 and £250) but wasn't anywhere on the online configurator. Does anyone know whether it's now standard or just missing from the website, if the latter that's quite annoying as my order is apparently locked in due to the exclusive paint?

 

[Keithd32]

They have been off roading it already have they?

Here's hoping it's been washed off and not wiped off though as there was mud all up the sides and front.

Must have gone cross country to the chippy in it.

Saw FL saloon on the M25 this morning, looked very nice tbf.

There are 2 types from my understanding, the standard is a warning should any tyre pressure alter. You store the pressures once happy and if they differ a warning comes up on the dash. The £250 option allows temperatures to also be monitored, and when using Audi Connect, you can display the temps and pressures on the in car screen. I fail to see why you would want this, but that's just me

Aftermarket, I have some Revo RV019's but thinking about some OZ Dakar's

I gave in, changed colour choice to “viper green” I’ve had a few bright colours on my previous cars and this isn’t going to be any different!

 

[Evil Diesel]

It certainly does stand out but not to everyone's liking - they had one in when I ordered my car and the Mrs said 'what the f*ck is that?' when she saw it.

That’s the colour, always been a favourite of mine and surprised more people don’t order that colour from Porsche. It’s the other half’s daily and that’s the colour she wanted.

As for the two types of TPMS, the online Audi Configurator is really annoying as some options don’t appear. I’ve emailed my salesman to request that option is added, even though he tells me my spec is now locked

 

[hyperbob]

Ordered a Sportback from Audi Watford this afternoon.The salesman,Sanjeev Kumar,worked in the new sportpack arrangement.Didn't fall for the missing road tax when specifying titanium alloys,unfortunately,but was able to match the 5% discount that others on here have managed.
Must acknowledge Jassy's extensive work on choice of colour, Porsche Voodoo Blue.
They are waiting on a TT in this colour.I previously owned a B5 S4 avant in nogaro which I liked but found to be a touch purply .Voodoo seems to be maximum blueness.
Likely March/April delivery.

Had a little night driving this evening, the Matrix Lights ... WOW, I had Dynamic Light Assist on the Golf R which is a Xenon based version using shutters - the Matrix LED's are much much better, such a white light and lights up the road brilliantly. Also found the extra "fog light" bit which is the lower section of the wider part of the light. Lots more to find out I am sure...

 

[Jassi]

Hi guys from the online Configurator the rear airbags and tyre pressure monitoring is missing - are these options now standard?

 

[Johnoz]

Tha Audi dealer configurator now contains the Audi Sport Pack!

 

[beanoyip]

For those who was going SB with Blades, here's how it will look.

I guess it's going to cop some flak with some of the owners here..

I don’t think they’re standard just missing from the online configurator. I’ve emailed my dealer as I want TPMS adding, especially now it’s part of the Sports Pack and I’ve already optioned Mag Ride and Sports Exhaust separately

So we should be able to get in touch with dealer and change the specs over to the sport pick instead of having them separately?
