To me they look the same diameter comparing all aspect and relative position of controls

i'm gonna watch the ring video again... (not the scary movie)

... well, depending on how big I remember that steering wheel looked... then it is a scary movie!!

 

[Add_Profile]

I'm not convinced

Could be worse!

You might realised my view is biased!
I placed my order today for Daytona Vorsprung Saloon so I’ve got my head ‘round’ it!

 

[Spinstorm]

Has anyone got a link to the old configurator with the code?

Because maybe if you do we can put in the dealer config code and see the full specs before it updates!

I'm not convinced

i really think that centre section and extended lower brace which create the ‘illusion’ it’s bigger - but I’m becoming convinced the main outer wheel diameter is the same

that’s a good comparison & agreed diameter looks the same

This appears to be the US configurator but at least we can have a play in English:

Audi Car Configurator

configurator.audi.com

 

[Add_Profile]

but still no UK configurator as at 07:07..... pffffffff

 

[Add_Profile]

I think I'm going to swallow my pride and add a touch of panic...




I WANT Exclusive colour, so it's going to have to be Saloon Vorsprung #hangsheadinshame# LMAO

the colour and added options can shadow "that" and I can easily fit carbon mirrors and spoiler if I want them at a later date...

decision set like jelly ... there's still time in the day!

 

[Add_Profile]

... and the fact is, Vorsprung+Exclusive then purchasing and adding the carbon mirror caps and spoiler later.................. is STILL cheaper than Carbon Black+Dynamic Pack!!
(just about)

I think I've convinced myself now.. I am pretty sure I am positive of that, maybe LOL

 

[3vans]

I hadn’t sorted that! You can’t have Mythos Black either in carbon spec

 

[Add_Profile]

I know right, but I think it is because the Carbon Black has the contrast roof by default!

 

[Snake Pliskin]

Just remember exclusive paint could add a real curve ball to the timeline ... so prepared for what could be a marathon wait

 

[Add_Profile]

that's no worries Snake.. gives me plenty of time to change my mind LOL

Configurator live for sportback, starting price seems a little high:

Going nogaro? It will be stunning …when it arrives end of ‘22

yes buddy, Nogaro is my choice

Seems Audi are fulfilling exclusive orders first!(if you believe that then there's no hope for you lol)

I am 'contemplating' racing mica blue ...... just not sure I can handle the timeline uncertainty of exclusive on top of uncertainty already

 

[Spinstorm]

I would absolutely love a crystal or metallic blue but I’m not prepared to spend an extra £2400 unless more people watch my YouTube videos! Lol.

I am planning on filming a video in the dealer on the configurator later today as I think people would be interested in seeing what the dealer has to say.

It is clear Vorsprung despite the delays is the way to go to get the best kit. You can add Carbon later if you really want it. But you can’t add a 360 camera or panoramic roof. There may be a wait until next year but that’s just how it is.

 

[Add_Profile]

compared to the "standard" car, the vorsprung looks positively value for money

 

[Snake Pliskin]

I've confirmed a vorsprung order in daytona.
Was starting to get pi$$ed off umming & arrrring over the damn steering wheel and carbon / exhaust / with pan roof / no pan roof etc
My one and only niggle is not having a flat bottom wheel - which I can get over saving £3k over a carbon and having more kit.
Pan roof far outweighs the steering wheel so that's it job done .. just a waiting game now.

You’ll need the pano roof to fit that big wheel in.

those audi clowns knew what they were doing all along

 

[Spinstorm]

LOL just buy an RS3 alcantara flat bottom wheel from Audi and swap it when they update it to include the sensors.

 

[Add_Profile]

good call, likely to be updated before the facelift so should be available at some point.

Stop winding me up now about that blasted wheel

Yeah good shout - any ideas on how we retro-fit contrast stitching in the future too ?

 

[Add_Profile]

yeah, those seats aren't going to be cheap to swap out I imagine

 

[Snake Pliskin]

even though we don't get the interior design pack, the configurator does show we get RS floor mats ...

 

[SPIKE_]

All live now on the configurator. It’s a shame, as I really enjoyed reading this thread up to this stage. Very entertaining!

Nice snake. I would go Daytona too, and given current constraints Vorsprung is the way to go

Yeah exactly that cheers mate

 

[Snake Pliskin]

The base car states:

Front Sport seats in Fine Nappa leather with RS embossed logo and contrast stitching

So what colour is the 'contrast' stitching ?

 

[Add_Profile]

silver-greyish thread

 

[Add_Profile]

Rock-grey stitching I think they call it.. (from the S3)
