but lets hope Audi UK Product Marketing have agreed the 20's as standard on UK spec, as with buckets

else its gonna cost a fortune to get the right spec

can see 20's being a £1k option as buckets £1k .... hope sat nav is standard or thats another £1k ... an on an on an on an on

Audi exclusive - what colour ?
Surely they are the 20s filling the arches?

Not bad, as DK says a few more angles shots to really decide. Not sure it stands out enough from these shots but time will tell.

If it gets rave reviews and looks better in the metal I may have a conversation with my local nz Audi dealer.

the rear looks PHAT

the front looks abit pants ... BUT, red is a rubbish colour and those wheels are gash, and the silver optic look rubbish

lets see a daytona with optics and rota's in more angles


above all - let see how it drives

I don't like it. Front bumper, headlights and grille are disproportionate and the aux rad air intakes are overly fussy, the rear valance is too fussy with fake venturi effect, can't see the rear arches being like that as on the rendering they flow into the rear doors and from side aspect looks like a 1 Series with a estate boot put on it. And it'll have the typically fake bumper mounted oval pipe work.

Interior is decent but that's about it for me IMO of course.

No sir, I don't like it. I want it to have proper rounded archwork, bluging too, like it's about to sprout muscular arms for which to reach over and tear the doors off the nearest M3.

The front splitter looks pants. Fingers crossed that can be optioned to anything other than brushed/dull aluminium.

Other than that: loving the interior. And I agree, it does look like a shrunk RS6 which is no bad thing.

Wondering if I'll look at my B7 in the same way tomorrow morning... :boohoo:

The taut RS setup lowers the body by 20 millimeters (0.79 in) compared with the Audi A4 Avant. New, polished 19-inch, ten-spoke forged aluminum wheels shod with 265/35-series tires are standard. Audi also offers 20-inch wheels with 265/30-series tires. These are available in a new, polished, titanium-look, five-V-spoke design plus two additional variants in the five-arm rotor design.

I like those wheels but I don't love 'em. If the spokes were evenly spaced, they'd be spot on IMO. The spokes are just so thin! They'll be one of the lighter wheels Audi has had on the inventory.
The 265 section rubber is an interesting choice too. That's not a common tyre width and only a few brands pitch up with circles in those dimensions.
No matter where you go, there you are.
