Yours has double glazing, also know as heat refective glass.
It's not double glazing as like a S class or 7 series for sound reduction, but it has second layer of heat reflective material bonded to it. It looks like normal glass but has a strange silver/green tint to it in certain light.

I had the colour info, but can't find it at the moment but if I remember right - black & silver made up most of the UK colours. (Approx 20 or so of each)
The rarer colours were sprint blue, mugello blue, Daytona grey and red which made up the rest
There's two LHD cars I found which had bespoke paint and interior. I think the 999 or 998 was a dark petrol blue colour with a reddish dark tan interior - I've got a picture somewhere.

62 or 71 are the two numbers I've heard from different sources (I've havnt got my friend to check every chassis to confirm, but originally 100 RHD and 899 LHD were allocated by Audi - RHD = 80 to UK & NI and 20 to other RHD countries but the full amount was never allocated due to production being stopped before all were sold
The number that were got from the production line never showed whether they were RHD or LHD so I've had to manually check many numbers

Fantastic info here thanks! :) Its interesting to know how many were produced and what the various specs were albeit Im not sure at this age it helps with any residuals to much:( Ive dug out a couple of older photos of mine.... reflective/ double glazing or just normal glass ? What do you think?

well its not darken, just looks like normal green tint, mine is alot darker, so im guess double glazing?

but im still not convinced mine has double glazing after amar posting some picture of his old S8 with double glazing and mine is nothing like it, just looks like normal glass :S

Definitely hasn't got double-glazing, as that is much thicker than normal and is easily seen if you open a window and look at the endge of the glass. Brothers C5 S6 had it and although very good at insulating noise, it also prevented phones and portable satnav's working correctly, so I'd avoid a double-glazed car if looking for one.

Your car Ryan came with the horrific MFSW too, but it needed removed and replaced with the paddled 3-spoke - might still have it somewhere if anyone's after the ugly look... :thumbs:

Brilliant information there, interesting story regarding the build numbers, would love to know how many have the Cognac interior as it is gorgeous.

Other useless facts:

The first deliveries of cars were ready before Audi had made the plaques - these where posted to customers several weeks afterwards for fitting, but some owners never got around to fitting them. I came across quite a few in Germany for sale missing the numbered plaque.

All cars in the UK, even ones not having one of the 3 exculsive plus colour combos (but opting for the normal RS6 paint codes) came with black optics, but in Germany it was possible to have normal chrome optics as a no cost option.

The plus pedal option was only on LHD cars due to low numbers of RHD cars manufactured.

Even though the plus had most options as standard there a few options that could be spec'd as no cost or extra charge

Choice of 3 spoke or 4 spoke wheel - no cost option
Double Glazing or Black security glass (no cost option - had to choose one or the other)
Natural leather could be spec as a no cost option instead of Black, Silver or Sprint Blue exclusive combos
Sunroof - chargeable option
Solar Sunroof - chargeable option
Electric steering adjustment - chargeable option
Rear side sun blinds - chargeable option
Rear side airbags - chargeable option
Isofix -chargeable option
Colour coded mirrors - chargeable option (the exact opposite for a non RS car)
Real Black suede steering wheel with suede auto gear lever or Cognac colour leather wheel and auto gear lever - chargeable option
Exclusive "plus" floor mats (black with bright blue piping, black with cognac piping or black with silver piping) - very rare as was twice the price of normal Exclusive matsu

if the standard plus combo interior was chosen for the sprint blue model (Black leather sides/silver-white Alcantera centres) the carbon inserts have a blue strand rather the red strand on normal carbo inserts (this was a very rare option only available previously on the Audi S6)

One customer in the Netherlands managed to have a plus made of all three plus colour combos - its sprint blue, with cognac leather and brushed alloy interior inserts, the only one I've found with this combination

Apologies, I had to go back to my original paperwork to double check the available options as the list i spieled out was from memory

The double glazing was still a chargeable option on the plus, the standard choices was either Standard or Black Glass.

Also I left out the two different types of mirrors upgrade - Electric Folding or Auto dipping electric folding
with the colour coding actually being a no cost option (not a chargable one)

Is it an adaptation for a handicapped driver? Hand activated brake?
