Picked it up 😃

Post by Michael_JCWS » Mon Jun 22, 2020 9:29 pm

Finally picked up my Nardo vorsprung.

Ordered back November, was due for build in April but obviously Delayed. I then had a build date of end of June, delivery eta August 😲.

My dealer had a car they’d order that had arrived in the UK port pre lockdown, which was the same spec (almost) as mine, so they were able to swap me into that one.

It was the first vorsprung that the dealer had seen, I suspect given the build delays they will be quite rare for a while.

Initial impressions are that it’s much more refined than my old RS6 performance.

Cheers

Michael

I managed to get a deal I was happy with and that the man maths worked on 😉

It’s much more refined than the PE, feels as quick. Ie dynamic mode is fine to drive on most roads, dynamic in PE was a little jarring! 4WS is really good, but takes a bit of getting used to seeing your rear wheels move when reversing

In comfort mode, I’m amazed just how comfortable it is, obviously most of the time spent in RS1 🤫

Looks awesome, my car is at Sheerness docks so hopefully will be able to collect next week so goodbye RS3 hello RS6 C8. Didn’t like the silver diffuser or chrome around windows so decided to go for carbon black edition with sports exhaust, city assist pack and comfort & sound pack. Getting Ghost 2 immobiliser fitted in Northampton the same day. I love the RS3 but silly question Will the RS6 be on another level of acceleration as I hope and think it will?

The RS6 has loads more torque and low down power compared to the RS3, you don't need to drive it like you stole it to get the performance, they are totally different cars, I went RS6 Performance to RS3 it lasted a month before if bought another RS6 Performance and several cars later including a E63s and 911 GTS, RS4 I'm back in a C8 RS6 well my 2nd C8 RS6.

Is there a significant difference between c7 560 and c8 600hp in performance?
