RS3 Configuration (let's see what you've got then)
- Thread starter PeteRS3lee
- Start date
And guess that is why Mythos black not an option on
Saloon for some odd reason which p*ssed on Pete’s battery
yeah ... why do they just not include the black roof on the mythos saloon ?
Hi All,
New here, order placed for a Rs3 Vorsprung Turbo Blue last week, apparently my current car is classed as a Toy to some people A35 AMG Prem +, how long does it take for a order to be assigned a Build week my dealer seems optimistic with a Dec/Jan Delivery ? have been told by him last week of November they will start building vorsprungs , carbon black with c+s are due to be delivered in Dec ?

I would like to know the same,
I have been told my order has been 'accepted' with the Factory, what does that mean and what will/should happen next?
we are in the same boat, waiting to be assigned a build date with the factory, there's loads of Audi dealers so depending on how far down the queue we are could be some time until we hear back from them, I don't understand why they didn't pre build the cars as they would have known people would be interested!
Dealer told me Launch cars will be built week 36, which is this week and around 2-4 weeks after that they should have them in the dealers, because we are 'buying blind' with nothing to see or drive prior to purchase if I dont like the test drive in the launch (demo) car I can get my deposit back

Very true, but why not offer black as colour option, that is more the point
This is what I came on to post. Seen this today and good to see the sportback in green. This is what I’ve ordered but hard to tell if the red suited it better
These must be European models LHD and no Pano roof.
Audi uK press release
“Stepping up to the RS 3 Carbon Black (+£4,650) brings darkened Matrix LED headlamps, five-spoke 19-inch matt black alloy wheels, a gloss black front spoiler as well as a carbon fibre finish to the exterior mirror housings, rear spoiler, side skirts and engine cover.
Above that sits the RS 3 Launch Edition (+£6,000), of which only 96 examples have been allocated to the UK. The Specification brings a wealth of additional standard kit such as the Driver Assistance pack, Adaptive suspension with Drive Select and Audi’s Comfort & Sound pack. A glass panoramic roof, heads up display, electric front seats, phonebox lite, sports exhaust, red brake callipers and a gloss black finish to various interior and exterior elements also appear. The top speed also increases to 174mph.”
As above they are left hand drive so spec tailored to clients specific requirements 
uk ... you get what you’re given

I didn’t spot the lack of pano (paintwork was too bright
) but I should have known better - I’ve got a launch edition coming too! 
Kyalami Green doesn't look like the one in the photo in real life. Photo looks really washed out and faded, it's a really vibrant colour irl. I went to Stirling Audi to view their RSQ3 in Kyalami and I calibrated these pics I took to resemble exactly how my eyes pick it up.
Does seem to be the start of the launch editions/press cars rolling off the line though.
Ha ha. I was going to come on and say something, but I’ll keep my thoughts to myself. Lol
It says Pirelli or Bridgestone on the pdf
Anyone else noticed you can build a spec on one at the moment or is it just me? Although my laptop and phones not working. Won’t allow me to click on carbon or vorsprung and if you try continue it says no car selected
Must mean updates taking place, one can only pray what colour thread is getting slipped in there
Fun/interesting fact: Comparethemarket have the new RS3 listed in their car insurance quote vehicle list.
Good choice. Look mega. Don't listen to the haters lmaoo

I’ve not looked at insurance yet but did start thinking about that and the likely difficulties of a brand new car like the 8Y… hopefully it won’t be too painful.
Heres one - footrest previously described as being stainless steel now being advertised as black plastic despite photo being unchangedMust mean updates taking place, one can only pray what colour thread is getting slipped in there
Great we should see atleast £100 knocked off our price! Why does it not surprise us that they are slowly make it worse and not adding on the stuff they promised…
Check the configurator now, you can spec a Saloon Carbon in black (or even exclusive) colours now, both options remove the contrast roof.
I hope this post post didn't trigger anyone to cry off to mommy to come slap my wrist?
