I don't think carbon trim and Gloss black plastic mix well on the exterior of the 8Y its either all of bothI had a good look at German site with translator today and I looked at RS design pack. The basic pack is very subtle, think it’s red edging on seatbelts, red 12 o’clock marker and special mats. The plus pack adds the red vent accent# and red flashes on seats. I think that is the one to have.
Do you think Audi UK will include the Carbon rear wing ( I hope not) but I was thinking are they going to plaster it with carbon trim to match the Aero Pack that Mercedes put on the A45S. It suddenly crossed my mind that could be how it’s specc’d but surely Audi have more class.

The basic red design pack will have red stitching on the doors seats and steering wheel "no stripe" and vents,red stitching on floor matts with RS logo
The full red design pack will add trim on the side of the head restraints and seatbelts
It's the same for all design packs on Audi models that have this option available to them
talking of design packs, I noticed this car has green interior contrast stitching with Daytona exterior. I do like the green but I’m not sure it works in this combination ?
I’m thinking Daytona paint, red brake callipers & red contrast stitching / possibly red design pack
It's actually quite nice to see the banter, same on M3 Cutters recently because as you'll know the M3 has divided opinion.

Sold my TTRS roadster today as price too good to turn down. I was one of the first to drive the 8V RS3 when the demos hit dealers and ordered that morning but I'd want to drive the new one before I'd order but I'm thinking a Cayman GTS as I don't need the back seats anymore (and not far off in price).
Yes, tend to agree, the black and then carbon effect will not be best mix. But I was trying to second guess what the Carbon trim level for RS3 might feature. Main worry was inclusion of that carbon wing ( to try and match A45S trim) but as it’s such a hefty option price (in Germany) maybe it will be an option for uk.I don't think carbon trim and Gloss black plastic mix well on the exterior of the 8Y its either all of both

Can I apologise in advance (in case I copy you) as that combo had crossed my mind and it will look great.
I think there is a matte carbon trim that runs across the dashboard this maybe a part of a carbon edition if it comes to the UK ?Yes, tend to agree, the black and then carbon effect will not be best mix.

I was just mulling over what each trim level would look like and which wheel, options each trim might get. I’m basically using RSQ3 as that basis. It’s just a way of psyching myself up for the disappointment for when uk configurator goes live and I can’t spec how I would really like it (as not planning to run to Vorsprung trim) so I was weighing up the standard v Carbon.

VORSPRUNG model is bound to be very close to £67k going by the price of the TTRS Vorsprung
The price Gap between the S3 to RS3 has really widened now it used to be around £6k it's now double thatBoth the TTS & TTRS have an uplift of approx £10k for the Vorsprung so that would take it to £61k sportback or £62k for the saloon

Ouch!!! Whichever one of you is right. Surely they would have it more in line with cost of RSQ3 than the TT RS.Both the TTS & TTRS have an uplift of approx £10k for the Vorsprung so that would take it to £61k sportback or £62k for the saloon
Hmm, what are they adding I wonder…
It could well be the RS3
There is a link on the front page saying RS3 coming soon which did take you to the info page a few hours ago - now it also says under maintenance ... so fingers crossed we might finally get the uk configurator shortly
More like price increases
Hmm, what are they adding I wonder…
Keen as Mustard Pliskin if it where closed down for the RS3 update it would only be that specific page on the site and not the full website ....The TTS page was down in January for a few days for the addition of spec and the 320 ps engine upgrade, the RS over inflated price list will come soon....still be interesting to see how Audi will **** up the UK model designations and specs I hope notIt could well be the RS3

you seem to be committed to this spec, do you think you "may" change a few things over the upcoming weeks?They are clearly adding just this 1
Cos I’m first in the queue of course

Mines would be a Saloon
Exclusive paint
pan roof
Diamond cut alloys
comfort and sound
Red design pack...not the the more expensive one as ye hardly notice the red lines in the seat belts
Standard exhaust....the effectiveness of the OPF sport exhaust wont justify the additional cost IMHO
Matrix candles
I fancy Alu trim for a change sick of high gloss black....3 cars in a row with it

Nowt to do them 2 Muppet millionaires mate...lol l aint rushing into anything it's not a race... besides my TTS is a fast and a extremely capable car and most of all sounds ****** greatOh wow Snake and PeteRSLee seem to have won you over.
But you need to go full design pack.... the red stripes on seatbelts are the best bit (.......adds about 25bhp to engine output)
I sincerely want to be proved wrong but I think we are stuffed for wheel choice. I think you get what Audi UK give you and like it. Hope I’m wrong but alloy choice on RS models seem to be one wheel per trim if you are lucky. Yes, I know TT has a few choices but other models seem to be one wheel per trim.
No rush for one is there as forecasts for chip shortages in the Car industry are predicted to extend well into 2022Does this mean you are joining the Rs3 gang jassy ? I want one I won't lie
A1 production is getting stopped as well no facelift or a new model....getting replaced by a small electric car...as Audi says they don't make enough profit from the A1 rangeBad News Folks..... Uk configurator is back up and it looks like A1 Citycarver has been taken off sale...Nooooo!
That was my second choice if I can’t get the RS3 spec I want
Nowt to do them 2 Muppet millionaires mate...lol l aint rushing into anything it's not a race... besides my TTS is a fast and a extremely capable car and most of all sounds ****** great
I see Audi have done away with the Frankenstein xxxxx stitching on the dashboard and armrests in the doors plus point!!!! but no lights on the bang & Olufsen the carbon on the dash is carbon effect!!! full blacked out roof is too VX corsa like....pano roof is enough l think keeping the price around £56k/£58k is realistic for all that's required anymore than is just silly......
