I See you can get the carbon rear Spoiler and mirror caps from Audi for the saloon
That spoiler for the saloon looks nice, I bet will be much cheaper elsewhere. Plus you already get the black exhausts when you get sports exhaust

You're both showing your age! My favourite after the 1300E was the Cortina Mk3 2000E, with black vinyl roof.
Yes I guess so, My lad said ''why dont you flip the RS3 and order another one, it's only another year after all''..........................I replied ''At my age I cant afford another year'' :laugh:

That's the main reason I didn't go for Velvet Purple, as I had originally planned!
 
Where are those options on the audi site? I don't see them...
They are Audi Exclusive colours, a £2,400 option in Exterior. However, you cannot view the colours on the Build site. The dealers have samples, or you can search for colour cards or existing cars in particular colours, to see what they look like. Someone recently posted a list of the current Exclusive colours.

I think he is talking about the options jassey posted a few posts up rather than the exclusive colours.

Interesting video here on YT.

It’s about the RS7, but watch it and towards the end he scans the car with VCDS, there’s a structural bourne sound module A9.

He turns it off, revs the engine then turns it back on and revs the engine, he comments the car has a more deep tone with it on.

If they have done this on the RS7 then thinking about it, it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s on the RS3 too

The rolling race is pointless on the carwow video. It’s a RACE at the end of the day so to race them in comfort is silly. Would’ve liked to have seen them in their top modes.

Well well well, Golf beating by 0.7 at the line and 80/100bhp down is very impressive.
Off the line the RS is a stonker and we all know the Merc is a weapon but I still liked the Porsche :thumbs up: (It’s me mid life crisis kicking in lol)

Let’s be clear the new RS3 absolutely has noise pumped into the cabin.

It is super obvious if you have the previous model.
 
It will be good to see the RS comparisons when it’s on a track alongside other similar machines, wonder who’ll get it first as Fifth Gear have gone all electric.

Yes I was surprised by it to be honest with the gap in power .

Stage 1 8R v would of been interesting
I wasn't as its got the same power as my TTS had and the TTS is 100kg lighter l don't expect the RS3 too be much faster than my TTS "ah there he goes again" my haters will think ...but it's true....never sold the car because it wasn't fast enough

So real world, all M cars from 2014ish onwards ruin the RS3 apart from in a traffic light grand prix, and there's nothing in it with the A45s. Gonna have to really pick who and who not to play with when on the move.

Carwow has probably just ruined the weekend for the majority of people in this thread.

12s quarter mile in almost ideal conditions, I stand by what I have said previously - no way this rs3 does 0-62 in 3.1s. If it did, quarter would be low 11's

M2 would be zero use to me in winter months I’m afraid.

It's was sane with the 8v fl the M2 has always been in gear a faster car not ruined my weekend at all because I keep a open mind and l am not susceptible to all the Rs3 Hype nothing in it either with Merc

No surprise really? It beat the a45. Let's not forget its 400bhp like the last model.

Good result I would say, by the time a remap is out for it, it will be rapid.
 
Basically it's just more of the same from Audi.... From standstill it beats most cars, but once traction is taken out of the picture and it's rolling it's pretty average amongst other performance cars. Was really hoping the RS3 would buck that trend.
