I went to the dealer today for a peruse...
All Q5s already sold. Nice Daytona S4 there with red leather diamond seats and interior....holy clap thats nice. S4 got terrible headroom with sunroof and electric seats...felt same if not smaller than my S3. Jumped into A5 coupe with no sunroof....much much better for me....then sales manager takes me upstairs for a sit in new S5...quick start up and play with virtual cockpit...was black with same red interior...unfortunately with sunroof so same headroom issue....but engine felt super responsive and sounded lovely. Asked about exclusive paint...I can get anything I want...Lambo...Porsche...$5k...can get new RS3 for $70k (dont know with what spec yet) or $80k TTRS....last one is my first choice right now until I can drive an RS3 with magride and super sports seats....RS3 colour would have to be Nogaro or Glacier again with black interior...TTRS would be Daytona and red or tan leather or Glacier and red or tan interior. Hopefully I wake up from this dream soon.....

LoL sounds like he's got a bite mate :tearsofjoy:

Friend of mine just changed his Black S3 Saloon for a Navarra S5 - he's like a dog on heat at the mo waiting for it to turn up.

I tell you what mate....the more I see and hear of that TTRS, the more my trousers catch fire. But can't do it this year now...need to do some saving and get the house finished...wife also wants a new car too same time so its gonna be $$$$$....

TTRS would be a good punt due to the limited numbers. Haha LoL I know what you mean my missus missed two turns of the car rotation so we just replaced her 4 year old motor this weekend just gone. I had some serious new car envy so had a cheeky look yesterday but you're looking at £16k just to change for a new S3/7R so an extra £10k to go beyond that and given we're stage 2 even then it's only getting close to the performance of our cars so a tricky one !!

TTRS does look like a great car. Hoping the new RS3 will be similar. If only Audi could use the 5 cylinder engine for more cars, imagine the next S3 with one at 340-350bhp. It'd be more exciting that what I'd predict will be a similar 4 cylinder with 330-340bhp.

No need it's a lethal weapon mate, have you driven one yet?
No I haven't mate....only the new TTS and that impressed me a lot! Felt so much more special than my S3 despite having same engine and wasn't modified at all. Loved the interior, seats especially....but need to hang onto mine for at least another year....my only concern is if/when they might bring another refresh out or even a new model.....starting to see possible new direction now maybe? I know....probably spotty 13 year old did this in his bedroom... lol

My guess would be end of 2018 or 2019 for the new A3/S3. Like I said earlier, probably 4 cylinder 340bhp for the new S3. However there was an article on Top Gear about a concept Golf GTI that's a hybrid with 4WD and has 400bhp. Maybe Audi could do something similar. https://www.topgear.com/car-news/concept/first-official-hybrid-volkswagen-golf-gti-has-over-400bhp
The all new S3 won't be here for another wee while 20 months or so.... Standard car will make a appearance first

They're awesome to watch at night when they're doing their thing!

Haha it probably is, just a shame they can't get the same prices though! I was lucky enough to just have to pay the deposit when I went in to sign the paperwork, didn't have to give anything at time of order.

It will definitely have a pano-roof and a few goodies but I doubt VC, *** and other nanny items that seem to have a habit of malfunctioning.... the canny Scot that he is. The tick off order entry will reveal all though and how many glasses of milk he has consumed during that process.
