Yeah I agree.
I got some hot laps around Cadwell during the launch of the 8v and believe me the RS3 took those tight corners really well.
Although the pirelli tyres were shredded by 12 noon doing hot laps from 9am.
They were literally worn out and they had to go change the fronts, it was a hot day though :)

Yup have done the same at Silverstone in the PFL
FL is a lot better, especially with 034 ARB and slightly lower eibach springs, yes you cannot lose the mass up front but who actually cares when it sounds that good.....

It is a real shame all these cars sound so muted (RS, M's, AMG etc). My wife's new Abarth 595 has an awesome exhaust note (not fake!), so it can be done.

Audi have never really embraced nicer seats for the S3 or RS3 though have they - always a variant of the s line seats.

it will be interesting to see how the car does sound.
In the video's it does sound reasonable on the inside and outside - so I am hoping it will way better than the Dyson but know it won't be like my last RS3.
A more palatable switch for me potentially than yourself with a great sounding facelift - gonna be a tough call where you go next

They used to back in the good old days. My S3 8P had the Wingbacks and they really should bring them back. The VW Golf Edition 40 gets them so not sure why Audi don't. I know plenty people would spec them when new for sure

Haha, the deal for the Abarth was a no brainier, besides I pushed here that way as wanted to get the equity out of the MCS. As we all know used prices are mad, hence factory order in for me. But with a manufacturer that actually delivers cars .

My father in law collected his Black!!! Cooper (pretty standard spec) today, ordered in April. I spent the day correcting and ceramic coated with Q2 Pure. Paint condition and lack of dealer inflicted damage was a nice surprise

Spoke to my Dealer yesterday ......

There is no confirmation on an official release date of the RS3
No idea what delivery lead times will be
No stock or demo S3 vehicles to even look at due to microchip shortages .... lol !

So doesn't sound very promising at all.

Chip shortages... serves them right= all western corporations for grabbing every last dime they can get their greedy hands-on....moving all manufacturing of silicone chips to China the Western world is being held to ransom by them l work in the semi conductor industry we refurb a certain machine that's part of manufacturing process we also implant the silicone wafers which is one stage of the process....all our machines are purchased by the Chinese as are all the wafers...

Yeah its impacted the car industry badly hasn't it and explains why the dealers have really bland stock at the moment and no decent demo cars.

Yeah Audi appear to be moving at a snails pace.
Perhaps I should have got a run out face lift RS3 last year while they were still available fully loaded with exclusive paint lol.
It could be some time until the new RS3 lands at Dealers never mind customer orders.

It is bizarre, BMW/Mini managing to shift and deliver new cars (more delay than usual) but VAG crippled. Was quoted 30 weeks for a Clubsport 45!

I feel like it really needs some roof rails. Hopefully they are a option that's available

Defo not as the 8Y Sport back design has hints in design similar to an SUV to begin with

That cars has a interior red design package £££ extra option you can forget the red centre mark on the steering as well as Audi dont fit this to UK models
but hopefully the Red design package will be available on the RS3? Only EU markets got it on the S3 as a option

My TTS vorsprung enough said about it the better.. hate Turbo blue stay clear of the Noggy Ed's they offer less spec for more money...my TTS has a better option spec...
TTRS Vorsprung would be my choice very rare model though....but saying that the TT Isn't tied up in the chip shortages like all other touchscreen Audis so a factory order is doable

TTRS vorsprung is not on the configurator - just base model & sport but it is showing for roadster ?

Im even thinking about a 718 GTS 4 .... just for the sound, but would have to get my head around rear wheel drive & not sure how I feel about that

Now that is a weapon. Lovely 4.0 straight Six, but obv. Pricey from £65k. If I had the money would be tempted even with RWD
