Nope, its correct.

As part of the MY19 updates the Carbon Edition has been dropped.

When i last spoke to Aberdeen Audi they only had details of what had been dropped, not what was being added/replacing it. They might have a better steer now as they were expecting the MY19 updates mid Aprilish.

Have you also noticed that Audi exclusive has been dropped across everything?

So no custom colours for anyone, just bog standard choice..........

I went for lunch with my contact from Audi UK a couple of weeks ago and he told me the following which I posted on another forum, so I'll paste it here as I think it's probably what's happening here...

There was a big meeting at Audi AG at the start of the month for top level management from across the world. The MY19 line up was discussed in depth and MY19 will be appearing early. Audi AG are streamlining models and options so they can re-tool production lines towards electric/hybrid build capabilities, which will be for a big 2019 sales push. With that in mind there will be big changes to the MY19 line-up and then into 2019 more electric/hybrid models. The impact of this is certain current models/options is being limited/cancelled depending on country's sales numbers. In the UK for example CCB's are being stopped on most RS models, the RS3 being first with immediate effect.

The situation in the UK currently is supply of all A4, A3/RS3, Q5/SQ5 and TTRS models have dried up and dealers do not know when/if they are coming back. Unregistered stock cars are few & far between and Audi UK can't give specific build dates or estimates that are even remotely accurate due to them not know what Audi AG are doing. Apparently UK dealers are spitting feathers because their 'bread & butter' A3/A4's are in such short/unknown supply, they can't reach their targets.

So if anyone had ordered a carbon car they will have a pretty rare RS4.

Porsche is reported to be shutting its Stuttgart line for 6 months to re-tool (Mission E) and some emissions "stuff".

They are, though not six months and only for supply to EU so not entirely shut down. It’s been known for a couple of months now. However dealers are being loaded with stock to compensate.

Good time to buy, residuals very strong!

So the marketing for the new RS4 shows a Nogaro car and you can’t even order that now?
That colour was the first thing (with black pack) on my spec!

The car in the marketing photos has the black pack and the milled alloys. We in the UK have never been able to order a car in that spec :-(

The heated steering wheel has also disappeared from the configurator too. I think I am the only person to order an RS car with the heated steering wheel. :beerchug:

The exclusive colours went from the configurator a while back, over a month. The salesman told me they could be ordered but would take forever to get built.

Only difference I can see is the Carbon Edition has gone and no one wanted one anyway. They should allow the milled alloys as an option to the standard car.

Is the heated steering wheel flat bottomed? On configurator it showed a round wheel if you wanted it heated.
