RS3 countdown to configurator

[Frizzley]

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

they look good - worth checking the pdf with a fine tooth comb once you’ve finished the config. All the pics are from left hand drive models and for example show a metal footrest. S3 shows the same and there’s a couple of threads on here about them being plastic on rhd versions Despite pics and spec sheet saying they were metal.

Had the same issue when I got my ttrs

Audi do

RS3 Configuration (let's see what you've got then)

Blank for now but will soon fill up

Stop winding me up now about that blasted wheel

Rumour is they couldn’t fit it through the doors on the test run so configured it with the pano roof, that way it’s lowered in through the top on the production line

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

ah right cool .... that I like then.

I would have gone that or red in any case.

In the photos it just looks like black on black so then 'no contrast'

I'm quite happy with rock grey if that is the case then ... nice one

.............could be wrong though, might just be slightly off-grey a touch lighter than the seat just to make the interior even more drab

it does state 'contrast' stitching in the spec, so as long as it is exactly that and not just black on black, I'm cool with that.

along these lines ? ....

 

[Add_Profile]

hopefully, but like you say, the pictures for the RS3 don't clearly show that so... hope for the best

 

[Add_Profile]

even in that image where you show the floor mat, the stitching looks.... black on the edge of the seat?

Hi all,
How come we can't order the interior design pack, i.e red, green, blue etc??

 

[Snake Pliskin]

I know ... just hanging onto the fact it states 'contrast' stitching which is essence is usually 'contrasting'

I wouldn’t be looking at the Audi configurator and questioning how well it uses the English language!

I agree about the lack of design packs. I mean we know Audi make alcantara wheels even in the grey/black stitching but we aren’t even getting that so that’s a big let down and the fact of no metallic blue or green or ANY crystal colours (although I accept some people may love the colour choices right now).

The Vorsprung is the best value no doubt, with every feature you could want except carbon bits. And I don’t understand why anyone would order a carbon black edition when they could just buy some aftermarket or even OEM carbon and fit them on a better spec Vorsprung model (of course unless you skip the dynamic pack then it’s worth it as it’s cheaper).

For me personally I think the first thing I’d do is sort out the wheel when the car comes either by having it re-trimmed or by ordering an OEM alcantara replacement.

Then maybe next Summer (assuming the car turns up around new year time) maybe get those callipers painted red.

In the meantime it’s just a waiting game now; really what I wait for is the order number so I can stick it in the Audi tracker and see the build week estimate number. And hope it’s this year and not next!

Vorsprung might be good value but those wheels with 'graphic print' are awful and you can't change them.
Plus shame about the S wheel on Vorsrung.
And going for Carbon version and you get the silly stick on spoiler - need to see some better views of that....

Had rock grey stitching in my Q5, but as seats were alcantara in grey less of a contrast . Will look much better against black

 

[NevMan]

And yes, it had a ROUND steering wheel

I was just gonna there is that wheel again

Yep. Wheel was fine to be fair. The Q5 was only a s line, and no VC….I learnt my lesson here not spec’ing up, but to this day still the wife’s favourite…go figure

Ironically the wheel in the Merc is actually quite large.
It is one of the things I noticed when I sat inside an 8YS3 a few weeks ago for the 1st time - that the S3 wheel felt smaller and more compact.
So even the round RS3 wheel could well be smaller than the Merc one - so might end up still being an improvement oddly enough !

next question: who's going to be the first to try and peel those wheel graphics off

I quite like them tbh.
Add a splash of monochrome colour lol to the exterior and I think they work well against Daytona

 

[RS03???]

my guess, those graphics are diamond cut ...

 

[Add_Profile]

no excuse for someone not to try lol

 

[Snake Pliskin]

They are ... it stated so in one of the spec sheets recently circulated

 

[Add_Profile]

what a nightmare wheel refurb is going to be!

 

[Add_Profile]

yes, you read that correctly.. IS.. going to be. I know me all too well

New on here as thinking of buying the new RS3. Looking at the configurator I'd likely go for the Vorsprung trim. Never dealt with Audi before and wondered if it is likely that I can specify the wheels from the Carbon Black trim instead? Seems like that should be fairly simply but maybe not....

I dont think at this point of time, that level of flexibility exists yet...., Also.. the build date for Vorsprung was stated by Audi to be end of Nov, 2 days ago..

I doubt Audi would do that in fact I'd put money on it they wouldn't

Thanks for the response. I suppose I can ask the dealer but sounds unlikely. Sorry another question...None of the colours really appeal to me that much and I can see an exclusive paint option. Is there any way of viewing what these are? Seems pretty pricey but may consider that.
