They have a Daytona/Titanium/Titanium PE rims/alcantara as well on display at West London - alongside 4 other 6's Misano/Sepang/Nardo/Mat Daytona.

I love the alcantara too, but wouldn't order it on anything other than a weekend low mileage car, it's just too sensitive and difficult to look after or remedy if marred, but completely get why anyone would want it over leather.

I ended up ordering Nardo/black optics/black 21 twin spokes and leather, after much consternation, deciding that I really don't care whether others know it's PE or not. It took a while to get there though. I probably would have ordered blue Carbon if it could have been separated from alcantara but apparently it can't after all !

Having said all that - your car looks great MikeFish (I also spent some time in Audi city salivating over and inside theirs) -good luck and enjoy ! Have you driven a non PE 6 ? - will you be able to tell us if it feels much different ?

:jump: whoop, whoop! Not long now Mike!

Thought you'd get you hands on the car before me! Mine is still sitting as code 40 so I need to wait until the 5th March for collection :bash:

Let's see plenty more photos of the car once you pick it up :thumb:

How you feeling about the trim Mike? Still think it's too light?

Everytime I look at it in photos it looks too light. When I saw the one at audi City it looked nice but I think thta was more to do with it being an RS6 rather than the colour being right. I think the excitement will cloud my dislike for the colour of the trim for a while then I will end up either swapping the trim for black, carbon or the one that interests me the most as it will make it unique and still retain its Performance identity, get the titan bits tinted to make them look like it does on the configurator.

I have only driven a normal RS6. But it was about 2 months ago and I only had 2 drives of it but not long enough to be able to tell the difference, especially if I follow the manual's running in recommendations.

I'm not a big fan of silver RSs but I do like that. Makes the titan trrim look the right shade too.

Still not as high as the Q7, my 4 year old was standing next to one in the showroom and the tyre was taller than her.

But you're right, even when it is not on the ramp it is still too high. It will be lowered soon.

Dare I say it, I don't like the look of it in that pic . I think the trims to light, carbon on that car would look epic
