Right folks, just back from the weekend at Le Mans and the event was a massive RS3 and new R8 fest for Audi. I counted 20 RS's on-site in various specs and colours as well as being one of the Safety Cars. Obviously I didn't get to drive one so the following is based on my first impressions and appearance in chronological order. Just my honest opinion;
Mythos Black with Alu kit and light leather SSS and Titanium alloys - Very very understated, if that is what you are after then I am sure you will be well pleased. looks very refined and luxurious almost, interior is lovely. I walked away a little disappointed and not feeling like it looked like an RS.
Sepang Blue with Alu - Black with Grey SSS and Titanium alloys - Much better colour combination and looked like a classy performance car. Dark Interior looks awesome however the Titanium alloys just didn't look "Special enough" for me.
Catalunya Red, Gloss Black kit, Gloss Black Alloys, Black and Red SSS with RS interior package - Wow, wow, wow. I normally hate red cars but Catalunya in the metal is truly stunning. A real eye catcher. Looks like a mean racing machine and screamed out RS to me. walked away thinking I need to change my order. Gloss black kit is an absolute must have and looks significantly better than the Alu pack. Red calipers also look Ace! Interior pack makes the inside that little bit sportier and feels like its a different model to any other 8v in the range.
Glacier White, gloss black kit, gloss black alloys, carbon ceramics, Black and Grey SSS - Very very smart and the ideal balance between "look at me Red" and "understated Black" Nice clean look. The safe bet that no one will dislike.
Finally Nardo with gloss black, gloss alloys, Black and red SSS with Interior pack - Having seen the red and getting ready to change my order this made me hang up the phone. Looks mean, and the colour in the sun looked smart. Couldn't stop looking at it and I am sure it will get plenty of attention. It looks and feels like an RS. Quite simply you have to have the black pack with nardo, Alu is a no no.
Safety Car - Had performance exhaust so got the chap to start it in the town on Friday at the drivers parade. twice as loud with the flaps open as closed which is perfect for not waking the neighbours when you come home after a blat around the country lanes.
All in all it was great to see so many on show and for me it cemented the fact that I am 100% happy with my chosen spec. I just need a build week now.
Biggest surprise was just how stunning Catalunya is and for me comes a very very close second to Nardo.
As I said above, this is purely my opinion. I want my RS to be a bit shouty and loud and look that little bit sporty. If you want a sleeper that has that refined look then I am sure you will also be happy with your choice and I hope that you enjoy your car as much as I will in safety. All in all a stunning car and I just cant wait!.
