Production dates

Oh heres hoping

I've been told week 10, mid march. Then a 2-3 month wait to ship it around the world ordered in August......

Notice that there is a new wheel option here in NZ on the configurator, nicer than previous one which wouldn't be hard, apart from that everything else looks same. That the extent of the refresh ?

Just had a look on the NZ configurator too:

I like it - there is a silver and anthracite version - less of a PITA to clean than the 20" Edge versions.

The NZ standard spec is a bit different than the UK spec was last year - B&O is std but the Sportdiff is a cost option...actually there are a lot of differences...DRC is standard and so are red brake calipers:

I see it's still 450hp.
I have been wondering if the power would creep up now that the new M3 is pretty much confirmed as 510hp and 4WD is expected. Merc and Alfa are also more than 500hp.
I have never thought my car did not have enough power but I wondered if Audi would respond.

[RS4John]

I noticed that too but wondered if it was a typo - being pedantic for a moment the 2.9 is 444 BHP and 450PS...maybe the power has risen very slightly.

Just a potential new thing to factor in for this in the UK waiting to order a new car

We have just ordered Mrs new Porsche

Porsche have provided a letter to say that in event of a no deal brexit, the price will go up 10% to cover the imposed import taxes

In our case this means from c£66k to £73k which I assume is in line with most RS4 order values.

Just thought I’d put out there to you guys.

It is actually a bit more than that "out the factory" anyway being 460hp and 510ft torque on various rolling roads.

Aww - interesting TX - I note that when Porsche use the 2.9 engine in the Panamera they quote 462 bhp, so Audi understate and Porsche play it to the max....

I'm told NZ Changes are: Phone box now standard, Green stitching option removed, new wheel design options - 20" still standard.

And we still don't get all the colour options here in nz either, how we meant to get negaro blue ? Buy one with primer colour and wip out a brush ?

NZ spec is high, but so is the price. I've added: Black pack, Sunroof, Sports Diff, Milled wheels, Carbon inlays

I got quoted $9K for Negaro with RRP of $12K. Almost went for it.

Pinged my Audi dealer on the back of the Audi Belguim Facebook update and got the following back.

“The RS4 should open for ordering during March but there is no date or price yet. What I can tell you is there will be a Sport Edition when launched which will include upgrade alloys , black style pack and badges, panroof ,sports exhaust and a few other toys for about £5k over Model Year 18 price”

Have asked them to keep me updated

Hi, new here and will be new to RS ownership. I placed a deposit with a London dealer 2 weeks ago and was told that I should be able to spec the car around April / May with Q3 delivery.
