Struggling to see where the 9k for the carbon black is made up?

On the standard car you got (22's (up from 21's) the carbon fibre bits, the interior design pack & extended leather and carbon trims etc) for 7k.

Looking at the list above the performance carbon black is only offering :

1. 22-inch wheels in matt black
2. High-performance Continental Sport Contact 7 285/30 tyres
3. Matt carbon styling and mirror housing
4. Dinamica headlining

Seems steep for different paint on wheels, tyres that are like £50 more a corner and dinamica headlining....

Exactly why I am leaning towards the "base" car

Like wise, you then pay another £8k for vorsprung which has night vision??? There must be more to it than that.

I do like the new nimbus grey ( which I assume will be an additional charge)

Any more insight on other colors?

I was thinking Daytona Grey but it depends on what is available. Reading Evo they state 'new exterior colors, significantly increasing the palette to 16 options including two matt finishes' but I cant find any more specifics. And then another media source states 'two new colors—Ascari Blue and matte Dew Silver'. My C7 Performance was Ascari so it may be new to the C8 but its not a new Audi color

I’ve noticed the German ‘quick’ configurator, now only has the standard RS6 colours, the uk website has now taken down the picture of the exclusive colour ( looked white/silver)

The cynic in says there will be the standard 8 then then the others will be £3k options

I also note carbo brakes are ‘coming later’ so won’t be available to order on 8th? Odd

Bugger, I was going to opt for Carbon Brakes this time....although I'm not sure how good they are on the RS6 and if they are prone to the Carbon Ceramic squeal you get on some cars

What about the 22 wheels colors? They mentioned grey matt for the standard trim and only black matt for the Carbon and Vorsprung models? So no gold or grey for the top 2 trims?

These seem to be the options ( other than than the old designs) which are available and I assume are on the base cars

I really want to like the new wheel design... Not sure I do.

Gold and black looks a little too 'aftermarket' for me. But even top and bottom wheels on the image above don't have much of an OEM look.

If the past tells us anything, you won’t get wheel options ☹️they will be specific to the basic/carbon/vorsprung

That is why I am guessing only grey matt for basic model and black matt for the Carbon and Vorsprung. Audi UK never gives any options 😡 Even the gold one shown on Audi UK might not be available...

Suppose we just have to wait and see what the configurator throws up and if there is any flexibility or if it will be as rigid as previous and you just have to choose a trim line with limited influence on options

With order books opening 8th Dec, does this mean the configurator will not be available until then? Had a quick play with the German one but functionality is minimal
