Jesus Christ. It’ll be sold by the weekend no doubtThat LE you posted is £66.995.00 now they may as well make it 70k

Enjoy mate
It looks very nice, I'm sure you will like it.... but enough to move from your Stage 2 8V.. that's the question.
I think I’m going to stick with my Vorsprung order and see if anything like phone box and 360 camera come back before my build slot eventually happens.
If much more is removed I might have second thoughts though. As pointed out before, the Vorsprung isn’t far off a LE spec now.

The difference between the Carbon / Vorsprung Sportback is only £2600 .
The Vorsprung makes more sense with the spec you get over the Carbon edition .
You just need to decide what is easier to live with the horrendous rear wing on the Carbon or the horrendous steering wheel on the Vorsprung .
Personally I'd take the Vorsprung .
So regarding that phone box and 360 camera is dropped from the vorsprung, So let’s get this straight, extra £2500 from carbon onto vorsprung. It’s usually only £1000 for pan roof so the other £1500 gets you auto boot? And on that saving too we would now get the better wheels, flat bottom steering wheel, and all the carbon goodies? (Roof spoiler, mirror caps, engine bay parts, sideskirts)
Edit: I forgot about the HUD also
Edit: I forgot about the HUD also
I’m thinking about now changing to carbon, saving £2500, getting better stuff on it, and getting it much much sooner by the sounds of it.
You don't even get C+S on the carbon .
For £2600 extra you get C+S , Adaptive suspension , HUD , Power Tailgate , Pan Roof , 174 mph Top speed for what its worth and that's off the top of my head .
So its well worth it imo
One thing I wish it had as most of the Jag/Range Rovers do is remote start from the app so you can pre-climate the car in winter.
Well it didn’t sound great on first start up……

Yes mate. Up the duel carriageway towards the M62 then back around the roundabout and down towards Oldham Audi.
The thing that struck me the most, the deep Bassy tone that was really LOUD in the rear of the cabin
it didn’t disappoint. Whether some is piped into the cabin I cannot say.

My TTS sounded better but hey ho the OPF Strangler has hit all new RS model hard VAG have got to strangulate most of their niche performance cars to save the Lambos and the Bentleys from getting choked...is it not true they have got meet a certain production percentage for the EU emissions regs...hence why Ferrari teamed up with Tesla....Well it didn’t sound great on first start up……

T1000, didn't know there was one in Oldham, I'm about 10mins away... Could have had an "exhaust noise" comparison against my old RSQ3 to See how much these stupid OPF exhaust regs have been silenced it
Did that one have the sports exhaust? Those wheels are fugly... Look like they belong on a max power pimped up banger...

It will be piped in a 100% said this from the start the bass/noise varies from mode to mode its only when your giving it real welly you will hear the actual engine noise my TT was the same it's a good noise....even in efficiency mode in my TT the noise was piped in ....but more mutedYes mate.

As we were coming back the car was warmed up, there was a left hand bend coming off the roundabout, so as I was on the paddles in S mode I booted it, could really feel the back end move as the power was sent across.

"That's Different"....whens the last time the Mrs said that to ya,,,,lol
The things that struck me from the drive…
Noise inside, sounds great to me, totally different to mine, deep bassy tones and loud
The way it shuffled the power when coming around that corner was so weird / surprising, I can see it would be a great drive on the back roads if it handles like that.

The black car I drove is a real ‘Frankenstein’ spec though.

Sounds good then on drivability and noise, I don’t mind a bit of sound in the cabin whether it’s real or synthetic, adds to the excitement IMO.The things that struck me from the drive…
