I called in to my dealer to see their Black launch edition while waiting for my Nardo Grey Vorsprung to arrive in March.

It looked incredible in the flesh and so mean and sculptured. Photos don’t do it justice but here are some I took this morning.

Looks fantastic.
Was that Mythos Black?

Visited my dealer today to see one in the metal. Nardo grey one. Must say I was impressed with it

Its big, maybe a bit of a 'showroom' effect but certainly looked wide, and pretty aggressive. Rear arches looked wide, wider than I remembered my C7 was.

Now i have seen it I'm really I'm looking forward to getting it. Had a good chat with the dealer and a few bits of info. They had 4 allocated, all gone, mine is the first one they should received, followed by the other 3, one a week for the next 3 weeks. Colours they have ordered for customers so far are 2x Nardo, 1 Sebring (Mine) and a Tango Red. Orders placed now are looking at June / July delivery. They think that maybe due to the demand from the US. Demand is high, but all RS6's are built and shipped from the EU, so the US has been allocated a lot of the initial volume.

The ones currently in the showrooms were all Audi UK ordered, with slightly odd specs, none can be driven until towards the end of Jan and then the dealer may use it as their initial demo as all the cars they have on order are already allocated to customers.

Still expecting mine to be in mid Feb, should be starting to be built next week.

Yes it is Mythos Black and looked absolutely stunning. I would have gone for Black but my current RS6 is black so wanted a change.

Mine is Nardo Grey on the way so glad you liked the Nardo in the showroom lem

Nardo grey looks amazing, can’t wait to see it in the flesh

Sebring at Perth Audi today. I’m sorely tempted...911 would need to go, and that’s a hard one to take...

Mines a Sebring on order. Be keen to know your views on it. I’ve seen a couple of videos and it looks very dark blue/black in some lights, but not sure how it looks in the metal?

Now I’ve seen Nardo, must admit it looks good. Especially with the black trim and wheels. I don’t think you be disappointed.....I was surprised how good the car looked up close. Although it’s certainly not what I would call compact!

Good to hear because I was falling for the black one today. Mine will have the black trim, rings and badges. Can’t get the black wheels as it is a Vorsprung but the dealer and I agreed the titanium wheels could look great on Nardo and will wait to see it in the flesh. Potential to change the wheels from another car or get them painted.

Poole Audi has a Sebring in the showroom. It looks very dark as you walk up to it but the blue is very evident once you are stood next to it. When the light hits it even more so.

Have a look at these two pics and you can see the difference once you are close. In the side on pic it almost looks slightly purple.

Thanks...reminds me of a 5 series I had years ago in Carbon Black. Can see the purple and the blue in the photos. Be interesting to see what it will look like in the daylight!

Looks good in Blue

There is a black one in aberdeen audi looks great
But it is huge
I'm liking the blue and black pack

It honestly looks black from distance. Great fleck on it has it looking a deep blue and even purple in some lights.

If i was ordering one today it would be sebring or Nogaro Blue.

You wont be disappointed in sebring, but definitely go for a ceramic coat/ppf

Hi Neil not seen you in wee while ! How’s things ? You tempted then ? Sold my c7 just over a month ago ! Audi were the usual no help at all over a decent deal so after 3 Rs cars bought a new M4
