Isn't that the one people leaked on this forum? With the pan roof, sports exhaust, privacy glass, black pack, etc.
Some new things I've seen include the 'Decorative Mercury Inserts', which looks like this:
For some reason it says 'Red Brake Calipers with S3 logo'. New colour is Tango Red. It has some more interior colour options, not seen them before. One is 'Moon Silver/Black/Black/Black' and the other is 'Silver-Grey/Black/Black/Grey'.
does it make a differnace in everyday driving... nope!
Personally, I just don’t get people view on this... “pano roof adds weight,” yes it’s adds a few kg’s to the car, but to 99% if owner are you ever going to notice that you’ve done your daily commute 0.03 of a second slower because of the pano roof’s damn weight
Assuming you mean “wouldn’t,” while you’re there checking the A3 race car... I’m sure you’ll notice a whole host of differences, look forward to seeing your list so we can rest easy seeing what else they’ve used as a marketing exercise to trick us
Totally agree regarding the added weight thing. But to call something sport edition, then add a pano roof goes against making it a `sport`, as generally making a car more sporty removes heavy additions to the car.
Yes, it should have said `wouldn't`. Edited
I bailed due to lack of individual colours and limited option customisation, a bit gutted as I’d been waiting for the order books to hopefully open up again.
Zero wtf. I got about 6% on 2017 rs3 saloon plus gap for 300 I think was was ok and not much different to ala who I used for the s3.

Some people will buy these cars to track and race down the 1/4m, get performance metrics from etc.
Not everyone buys a car to tootle to Tesco and back at 3000rpm. When you buy a performance car, you buy it for its performance otherwise you would opt for a 1.6 TDI base model version. If you're buying a car to take onto the tracks or do timed runs etc then you want that car to weigh as little as it possibly can. You also want a better handling, better braking car too. Adding 30-40kg of weight doesn't just slow the car down in its acceleration. Stopping distances are increased, handling and feel due to the higher C of G suffers, it's heavier on brakes, tyres, etc etc. There are people out there that fit lightweight wheels, brakes, batteries, seats etc to make their cars quicker so it's not hard to understand that people have these views about adding unnecessary weight to their cars to begin with
I'm sure there are S and RS owners out there that just buy the car for the badge though and don't bother to spool their turbos beyond 3500rpm so overall weight and performance is not high up in their priorities.

Went on track with mine but yeah not every week.
I think the RS4 will feel like quite a step up from the RS3. But then it is quite a bit more expensive! The only thing is the lack of noise...
too though!
£46,000 for that spec is really strong money in my opinion and lack of SS Seats and Sports Exhaust will make it more difficult to sell when the time comes. You can order a brand new one for less than that one
Let us know how you get on. M2’s are holding up pretty well since the release of the competition. The N55 makes a lovely sound.
