Dealers now taking deposits on performance version, although spec/options are tbc later this year ahead of 2023 build and delivery.

Spoke to my dealer when there a couple of weeks ago (while ordering something else as well)

My pending order is apparently number 1 of 3 they have taken. No specific timelines yet but hoped we would get sight of what the car offers/look's like towards end of the year

Sounds promising.
Aside from options and how it’s being specced is there any indications of main improvements eg same kW as a Urus or facelift or must have ceramic brakes etc ??
Also, any idea of first build date and whether other markets (eg Australia) are next in line?

I’m certainly envious of being an order already. Ordered mine back a few months and wanted the Performance but “not available” and now reckon I may have “gone early” .. :bash:

As in eat a lot of pies?

As Harry Metcalfe has observed…..

So the new hybrid 4-pot Mercedes C63 is 100kg heavier, with no one sitting inside, than my s/c V8 Jaguar Project 8 is with 4 adults on board.

Anyone got an update on this, any dealer info ?

I have a new car coming in November, but was promised there was no performance edition coming. Don’t want the old model two months later!

I'm also waiiiiiting for my build week to arrive. I was also advised no performance variant is incoming.

That being said. If its anything like the recent limited run (already gone) RS4 Comp you wont want it anyway. I'm not expecting another 50bhp....

The new RS3 is called a performance aswell, not that you can get one in the UK.

My only hope is that Audi UK don’t balls this one up, they have past form 😞

Good to see Autocar on the pulse….mention of dual clutch gearbox which it isn’t, of course.

Big price uptick. Audi discounting?
