Sepang Blue RS6 (C7) Collected

Evening everyone,

I'm new to the RS246 forum although I have to confess I did read a number of posts here first before commiting to the car.

Originally I went in to test drive the RS4, as I had always wanted one, but decided to try the RS6 first for comparisons sake. WHAT A MISTAKE. Fell in love with the car and wanted to order one there and then.

Image

However, I made sure i had a shot of the RS4. Lovely engine and gearbox, but didn't feel anywhere near as special or modern. Still a better proportioned car in my eyes than the RS6 but not as capable overall. Just my opinion.

Image

I was struggling to find any pictures of the RS6 in Sepang Blue online so i asked the dealer if they had any. Turns out neither did they, but they could do me one better as the dealership's GM's car had just been delivered in the locked compound. Went down, undercovered the car and I new that was the only colour for me.

Driving home in the daytona RS6 demo for a second shotie (just to make sure :bigblink: ) recieved a call and the dealership were going to prepare the car for me to see properly when I came back with the demo the next day - and OMG I could buy it if I wanted....

DAMN a decision to be made quickly.

Car was stunning and we went for it after 2hrs of deliberations.

Unfortunately I had to go offshore for 2 weeks before picking it up and discovered as I was driving away at 3pm that the drivers side window vent didn't open fully. Not wanting to get stuck in rush hour traffic with my loverly new motor I organised to drop the car off the next morning and get a car away for the day.

Nice courtesy car... my son loved it

Now a two Audi household...

RS6 (C7) Spec:
- Sepang Blue
- 21" Titanium Wheels
- Matt Aluminium Pack
- Red Calipers
- Privacy Glass
- Panoramic Sunroof
- Heated Rear Seats
- Reversing Camera

Only thing it didn't have was the performance exhaust, but I hear you can now retrofit via the dealers (previously told not possible).

Sorry for the long winded first post - I'm just affa excited.

Looks better still with carbon, though it's somewhat more pricey!

Yep standard headlights (turn corners, have all the fancy road type settings and the anti glare) are fine enough for me.

No dynamic pack as I didn't want the dynamic suspension and steering - plus it's a whole heap of cash.

Carbon pack is very nice but IMHO gets lost on the Sepang blue RS6 so went for the contrast of matt alu which ties in nicely with the mirrors, windows and roof rails.

It's far to too easy to get carried away with the configurator and spec a £90k+ car - and it's just not worth that much to me. A whole different breed of car starts opening up at that sort of money.

Correct. Pre-FL you could spec DRC on its own.

Awesome looking car.
Having waited to order the post face lift car I have been left changing my mind every week as to the spec and colour. Sepang blue has always been a favourite of mine as well as estoril blue (when it was available) and daytona grey. Seeing these pictures has swung me to the sepang.

That's if I haven't changed my mind again in the acres of time I have before actually being able to place the order. :nogarors4: :greyrs4: :blackrs4:

Thanks HYFR.

So what is the difference with the post-FL car? I've looked at the pictures released so far and I don't see anything obvious....
