[TDI-line]

I thought this would be helpful for you buddy.

Exclusive Blue

It occurs to me that a black edition S3 would be hard to distinguish from an RS3 - sure the RS has bigger intakes and different wheels but you can change the wheels - the sound is probably the difference that is most obvious.

Would be nice if you could add the name of the color, so someone would know which Exclusive color this is.

 

[Snake Pliskin]

it is not an S3 / RS3 but this I believe is the front runner colour for Jassy with voodoo blue #wow

 

[Jassyo06]

PMSL... @TDI-line cheers buddy, my son has past my Audi build code onto his ex boss at Glasgow Audi, if he can't get me the colour just now then l will just wait , my last shot at the voodoo blue title lol

 

[Snake Pliskin]

@jassyo06

[robps3]

some really nice colours here.... love the RS saloon back end. That voodoo blue is the nuts

 

[Jassyo06]

Well at least some good news, a nice young chap from Western Audi from London l think? Called me and said for definite exclusive colours are available on the S3 but.....??????are on hold due to the MY18 model changes as soon as they resume the exclusive paints he will order one for me yeehaa lol

 

[ASRman]

Pre-facelift RS3 looked better, new one looks too much like the S3 now hard to tell them apart ....

IMHO it should have flared arches like it's bigger cousins to differentiate it and give more muscle to it's appearance.

Car?..... what car?!! lol

 

[Mark_86]

Are the front wings on the RS3 different to the S3?

 

[Jassyo06]

Yip the RS3's are wider

 

[Mark_86]

Yip the RS3's are wider

******... thought that was the case. I'm not buying wings and a bumper lol... think I'll leave it as a S3 grill

Which colour is this one? Looks in between Daytona Grey and Nano Grey.

Its only when you compare the S3 to the RS3 that you tend to notice that the RS does have flared arches ........

do we get one of the two chauffeurs with our order too?

Like someone said to me.... blue, blue, blue, blue, why you always choose blue!

No cost option Nardo grey mate

Vodoo Blue might be a standard option colour for MY18.......there goes the truly exclusive look Jassy
I really find Audi's exclusive colours a bit bizarre, yes they are available, no they are not available. You are paying big bucks for these colours, what causes the mystery of availability?

It seems darker than Nardo Grey. The nardo grey's I've seen look like this.

It's definitely Nardo mate its like all paint colours, they can differ widely due to lighting and the camera used, espescially on a official Audi photo/brochure

Voodoo a standard MY18 colour for a S3 well that would be the end of me lol funny you should mention this,back in late 2014 there was a member on here that had ordered his S3 in exclusive sepang Estoril blue was the standard blue at the time , he got his car....and then in a matter of weeks Audi introduced Sepang Blue for the My15 cars.... Real bummer eh....? But l think Audi reimbursed him with difference.

Voodoo being a new Porsche colour it's highly unlikely that it will ever become a standard optional colour.... Lol

As for availability they only halted availability during the introduction of the facelift and now MY18 spec changes, they've been available all the rest of the time, but because they ain't a choice of them on the configurator some dealers just say no

The Sportback does, supposedly the Saloon does too.

Fair point, didn't notice.
I assume the FL RS will be the same, but they don't really stand out.
To me they're more obvious on RS4 upwards.

 

[BowkA86]

Is there any news on a release date for the RS3? Ive looked and cant find anything but thought someone on here may be "in the know". ??

 

[Tom.H]

Was looking at the difference between the S6 and RS6 the other day, the RS looks so much meaner from the front.

RS6 is yer classic RS.....mate but may l add, the Avant body style alone gives a more sporty presence then add the RS FULL MONTY wheel arch extentions on all 4 wings voila..... Ergo the German Hulk lol the RS6 shares the same chassis and engine as some Bentleys can't remember which specific model think it's the coupe but they're the same car underneath
