You’ve been there though...
Aye lol. New one is comfier and quieter as they use noise cancelling software. Been out for a quite blast, its by no means quiet but its pretty good. Comfort wise its not that much harder then the M5. I think it may just to toned down enough to use a daily

Oh well the deed is done.

F10 M5 gone. GTR-R35 ordered should arrive in November.

Look forward to the RS4 production line starting again and more reviews when people actually get their hands on them.

Seen a green one in Aberdeen last night on Queens road. Looked a bit dull but the sun was going down, bet it looks amazing in daylight

What kind of deal did you get on the GTR? I’m considering one if I decide to change car next month when the RS5 turns 12 months old.

I bought the PURE. They are all the same spec now apart from interior. MY17 the Pure had less spec than the others but MY18 they are all the same. I wanted the pure as I like the leather / alcantara mix ( I had this in my old GTR) plus I was not willing to pay £2k for red leather stripe on the Recaro version and being in the prestige one it was deffo not worth £4k more.

MY18 (I think MY16 onwards) is way quieter and softer than previous versions. I found my last one to extreme for a daily. I think the new ones are toned down JUST enough to be a daily. Still not the comfiest or quietest car on the road but good enough for what it is

I see the configurator now has a message saying the delay in building is due to the conversion to WLTP.
I know people have been saying that for a while but, until recently, the audi web site stated that RS4 was WLTP compliant (Infact it still does).

All Audi models stopped due to wltp. Imho it makes no sense for them to carry on building one compliant model eg they will wait until all are ready.

Don't fancy being boss of Audi. P45 on its way I would say. Very poor management, its not as if wltp was a surprise. Other manufacturers seen to be coping fine.

My guess is that all the compliant models were tested with cheat software, even the petrols.
