How Many Exclusive Models Made?

Post by TheoryOfDriving » Sun Sep 19, 2010 9:09 am

Hi guys, still hunting and found this on autotrader http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p

It's the first one I have found with the 'exclusive' tag, how rare are these, this is pretty much perfect for me just wondered how rare they are?

They aren't a limited edition or anything - it means someone has specced the interior colour from the Audi Exclusive part of the brochure which gives more options than the std no extra cost part of the brochure - wasn't cheap though ! I think you could also have the extrior painted in any colour you wanted under Audi Exclusive too

Ah OK, I love the white leather interior in a black car, although keeping it clean when it's a daily drive would take some work.

Thanks for the help, out of interest has anyone got an RS4 with the exclusive options on this forum, if so can you post up some pics please

Me, didn't seek it out for the interior but one doctor owner and unabused, have grown to like it, it's so opulent compared to black.
Cost £3000 extra, I like the badges on the door cards 8)

are those the recaro bucket sears with it, what else is different apart from the red leather (which by the way looks fantastic)

Glad you like them, I don't expect everyone to as colour is subjective but they work well with Daytona Grey IMHO.
Yes they are the usual buckets, simply the colour of the seats and armrest cover is different, seat backs are still black as are door cards and carpets.
Also the door cards have an 'Exclusive' badge on them which you can just make out in the pic (in case that wasn't clear in my original post).
The brochure lists 2 Exclusive trim packages;
1:seat, door trim, headrests and centre armrests in colour from Exclusive range (presumably you can opt out from having the colour also applied to the door cards) £2800 Recaros or Buckets
2: Basically black leather with alcantara seat centres in Exclusive colour, headrests etc all stay black £2350 Recaros only

There is also "RS4 package"
Black Valcona leather with coloured seat side inserts in perforated leather, colour seam stitching, floor mats with coloured leather piping, RS4 sports steering wheel and gear gaiter in black with coloured stitching, Buckets only and colourd parts in Carmine Red, Goya yellow or Silver £3150

Im sure if the brochure had some sample pics they'd have sold more

that has to be the nicest interior I have seen yet, did you pay much of a premium for this spec compared to same mileage and spec with the exclusive? I suppose it's quite difficult to say but would be interesting to know.

Stunning car, does it take much time to keep it looking so white and fresh?

I paid 29.5K for it in Dec 09 it also has black optic, ss+, audi exclusive seat belts in grey, solar panel sunroof, alcantara steering wheel/gear knob, tv ect, i don't think the dealer i got it from realised what spec it had. They seats are ok to keep clean just wipe them every couple of weeks with a damp cloth and leather cleaner and treat them, look good as new

There is a Black Cherry Pearl Avant on sale on the Audi site at the moment, assume that was a special order and not a dealer typo, certainly looks different.

I looked at at a Phantom Black which had the red (bucket) seat inserts option, best thing IMO was the stitching as this was also in red - did make the interior look a bit more special but ended up buying an Avus Silver car with std black buckets !
