Is this a UK based order or an order based in China and then converted through the exchange rate system? (Where GBP is at historical lows btw)
The RS3 starts at 100k AUD in Australia, 80k EUR's in the Netherlands, 70k EUR in Ireland, all before options are added. Norway I suspect will be even more expensive but not sure what country will have the highest prices.
Seems that the US get the best deals, UK isn't too far behind and then everywhere else more expensive. (In relation to exchange rates anyway)
Okay, then yes, you probably will have the most expensive specced RS3. That is a hell of a spec, I hope you got some discount for ordering all that. I think the only way you could top it is by opting for an exclusive colour.
Hope you find somewhere to test that speed limit raise! £1600 is a lot of dosh for it not to be used!
I placed my order on 21st of June, 63,340GBP after all...

Hmmmmmm, doesn't look too much different to my 8V - An absolute bargain it seems at £51K list.
Didn't pay that for it though as I haggled a good dealer contribution which got around £4K off - no chance of achieving anywhere near that on the new ones at the moment ( I have tried). Can't even get a test drive sorted yet either.
Yep I agree on that,mines came with the option on it (delimited to 174mph) with the RS sports exhaust system.
Of course I've not even tried to attempt this crazy speed so I'd say it's an option that doesn't need ticking.
Same with the carbon engine cover,which I've got also.if the bonnet was made of clear Perspex then yea as you would see it, but it isn't so it's hidden.
So why bother. That's 3k saved there alone nearly.
As has been said earlier, maybe use that £1600 towards an exclusive colour? Glacier White is £550 anyway
63K ro an A3! ... WTF. I'd expect a mechanism to pop-out and tickle my balls whilst driving for that price!
Great spec tho. The brakes are the main cost culprit. Sensible for track days.
Blimey, just had a thought.. You are bound to modify this car which overall might take it into the cost of an RS6!

Fit a set of these Alcons or the Tom Wrigley ones + calipers that TX has on his car and save the cash on the ceramics too! With a good set of pads (but defo not the OEM ones) such as Ferodo DS Performance you will have vastly superior brakes over the steel wavy standard set up.

£63.4k for an a3 is just nuts, limiter and engine cover are pointless. Ceramic brakes are poinless on the road too. Saved you near 7.5k already
I thought pre sense was in one of the packages. What's even crazier is it doesn't include an exclusive paint. If you are spending that much I hope you are placing a huge deposit of over 10k
Meaning the sports exhaust isn't worth the money?!By all accounts the sports exhaust isn't really either
Thanks mate. I totally agree with you, most of the extras might be useless but it is kinda habitual to me... all my cars are fully loaded
No. Definitely need it, apparently not as brutal as the PFL exhaust.Meaning the sports exhaust isn't worth the money?!
@Evotion we all commented on how loud it was back in 2015 and the consensus seemed to be that Audi may have "got away with it" to be corrected next time eg now. The FL will still be great just not as loud as the PFL. Some people will like that of course.
TX.
So a car with the limiter removed only tells you one thing!!! and what is that exactly?
They MUST know that the overall sound and the sports exhaust sounds in Dynamic mode are a massive attraction to the marque.
