Sepang was also removed from the S4 and S5 list with the 2012 MY facelift. No Nogaro/Sprint/Sepang colour does seem a shame to me - although not as much of a shame as losing a manual gearbox option....

I didn't think sepang was ever available on S models as an option, normally just RS cars

Are you thinking of sprint?

Yeah Sprint sorry, dropped but not replaced by Sepang, so if you want traditional blue you have to fork out for the exclusive colours option now

Just seen this outside the Malmaison in Manchester, I will definitely be sticking with Daytona when I pick one up in a couple of years.

A lot of pictures do not do this car and its colours justice, including mine, but I was holding the traffic up to take this.

A few people who went to the track days were underwhelmed by Daytona on the B8, although it would probably be my choice in the absence of Mugello.

It is just another grey like an sline with those rotors

Sepang or prism are RS only colours and show you have something a bit more than a 1.4 which I appreciate some people prefer

Agree that sepang and prism looked the best and they are rs colours making the car a bit more exclusive and unusual. Then again we may both be a bit biased given you got sepang and I got prism!

Its usually the "40 everywhere" brigade - you know the ones doing 40 in a 60 you overtake who then steam through the next village still doing 40 mph, catch you up and tailgate you, scowling because you overtook which was unsafe.......

Ha ha, love them!

They particularly love it when a bright orange noisey lotus overtakes them, suddenly I'm a hooligan!

I'm sorry but I could not disagree more, ok the wheels are not a patch on the v spokes, this is the first B8 RS4 I have seen in the flesh and it was screaming its sexy ass off 'LOOK AT ME!'
