Anyone have any photos of this? I can’t find any but like the look on the Configurator.
 
Seen a new RS5 in Nardo with Alu pack today. Hideous.

What you guys think?

Umm. nah.... Nardo looks a LOT better with the black pack/trim/wheels. Makes the colour and the wheels pop.
It also makes it look more like an RS3 should. It looks a little 'safe' and common in Nardo with Alu...

Just my opinion... It is still an EPIC car and I would be grateful to have had it in ANY colour and combo really.
 
Nardo grey, this years so called in colour - next years disappointment !
But each to their own.
There are a lot of manufacturers bringing out a very similar Nardo grey, Ford Focus and BMW Mini spring to mind.
 
Honestly I'm not sure about the colour. My car isn't going to be delivered until march next year - which is a purposeful choice as I just got an S3 so that 7/8 month wait works well for me to pay off some of the negative equity.

I have plenty of time to change colour but nardo is free which is why I chose it. I decided aluminium because I felt black and nardo is so common that so wanted something different.
 
Nardo is hardly common as you rarely even see any RS3s on the road. Outside of meets can't honestly remember the last time I saw another one.

It's grey, it will never go out of style.

I love Nardo more and more every day. I saw another Audi in Ara Blue today and I can't believe I ever considered that for my car. Nardo looks good clean or dirty, and it attracts just the right amount of attention IMO.

I agree, I've only seen one other Nardo Grey Audi and it was an RS7.

Although it does seem to be the most popular colour for the FL RS3. I haven't seen one in Nardo on AutoTrader whereas black, white and Daytona have been put up.

I guess you are talking about another country, not the UK.

There are two FL RS3's in Nardo for sale on our Autotrader and quite a few PFL ones also.

Yeah I'm in Canada. The RS3 is brand new in North America.
 
The best thing about Nardo is its a RS only colour.
Is it the only one RS only colour on the RS3?
This makes it a truly exclusive colour.
 
Nardo and Catalunya are RS only colours.

Ara blue is a new Audi colour and can only be selected on some new S/RS models, not A.

A lot of other manufacturers are bringing out the Nardo look which makes the colour a little more common overall but you rarely see it on Audi RS's. You rarely see Audi RS's full stop.

Nardo and Alu is wrong, there are far better options and contrasts, it's not bad, it's just why would you when there are othe options.

I get the fact that it's free and people would rather spend the money on other options though. It is a shi*ter having to fork out £775 for a paint colour (Ara/Panther).

Nardo and black pack with the black gloss wheels, privacy and roof looks nice.

Oh you bet it looks nice! *grin*

I still wonder about the Viper Green from the Oman press event. I kind of love it and kind of hate it.
