things are looking up

I also wonder if build quality has deteriorated now that RS model production has moved from Neckarsulm // Quattro GmbH to Hungary for the TTRS and RS3? They just don't appear to be put together as well as they were?

mine was pretty decent, the centre consul squeaked a bit but i put that down to the group N suspension lol

doubt they make the engines anyway

the only thing i would have pulled it up on was the nearside rear bumper stuck out 2mm over the body, minor but it bugged the hell out of me

The engines are invariably made in Hungary including those for the R8 / LP 560's.

thanks, don't know much about audi's logistics / manufacturing



just got confirmation build week 18

That's brilliant news. You'll be back in a '3 soon enough...all this petrol malarkey should be over by then! Have toyed with the idea of getting a '4 but, given that it will not be limited in numbers, and tbh a little too big for my needs, I think I'll pass.

Out of interest, did you or the dealership mention anything about the much rumored RS3-Plus?

Cheers

One Of the guys on here asked the r8 team this exact question. The + is not coming to the uk.

[chrisrs3]

I can back this up. My Audi dealer forwarded me an email from the R8 team confirming from the product manager that the RS+ is not happening for the UK market 100% guaranteed. So nothing to worry about as I was initially.

the + is just some options bundled on the car with a mild remap, i dont want the buckets


just need to source the map and the rear badge

looks like they have sold my old car, wonder if they mentioned it had a new engine

[neckarsulm]

What was the reg?

There was a 61 reg going through Audi UK auction recently and didn't sell.

ibis white with black and red rims

don't they normally show cars for 3 months before passing them on? It was only up for sale for 4 weeks
