my dealer seems reasonably confident that once the BW has been received they tend to track
That’s what mine said… Well until he called to say it’s been pushed back 30 weeks that is :-/

Giles, sounds like an awesome spec

What does the Gloss carbon add? Is it just gloss instead of Matt? It’s really difficult to see on the configurator

Basically adds carbon wing mirrors and also changes all the matt carbon to gloss.

“ Carbon Black Styling Package - front spoiler, front side flaps, side sill inserts and rear diffuser insert in gloss carbon; trim strips on the side windows in gloss black; Audi rings and logos in gloss black”

My build week (non performance) has been pushed back again…

So. I’ve cancelled and bought the most beautiful red vorsprung with 5k on the clock.

Financially with my part ex it added up and the residuals of the vorsprung over the carbon black I ordered sealed the deal.

I was pretty disappointed to not be getting the pano roof, HUD, blind spot warning lights etc on a £112k car so very happy to be going vorsprung. Only downside (for me) is the DRC over the air but I’m sure considering it’s an expensive upgrade it’ll be more engaging…

Collecting tomorrow!!! :jump_clap: :jump_clap: :jump_clap: :jump_clap:

Looks great, I really think the red suits the C8 (much more so than the C7).

Looks great and agree Red suits the C8 much more than the C7. You certainly dont see many red ones about

Car is home.

What a machine. Drive home was hilarious as I spent 45mins behind a wide load at 40mph and achieved 36mpg lol

Coming from a 22 plate A6 Black edition (in tango red) its all very familiar; but also very different at the same time.

Very pleased I dropped out of my order for the Carbon Black. The HUD and the Pano roof make the car, I was conning myself thinking overwise.

Other areas of the spec are lovely too. The heated steering wheel, adaptive cruise and blind spot warning to name a few.

Happy to say the least.

Heated steering wheel ??

I’ve not gotthat on my current vorsprung? I assume it was available on later cars? Hopefully it’s on my perf vorsprung
