Personally think the original Performance Edition wheels are far nicer than those custom jobbies.

Those custom wheels wouldn't be to my taste........and @ £8k fairly ridiculous.

Each to their own I suppose.

Assuming these stats are correct, not megabucks yet for this guy from youtube but he's hardly short of cash:

If I got a penny for every one of my youtube channel views, I could afford this much of an RS6:

To be fair when the audi guy went through the spec he did seem in bit of a daze almost like he had no idea what was specked almost like a child in pass the parcel each layer being an option.
When he got the gt3 he posted a video link on 911uk.com and got completely slatted and never posted again.
Maybe we should invite him the ADI this year ....would be interesting if audi gave a hand in the purchase.
RS6 Grey and Loud. :-)

B8 RS4 Daytona gone :-(

As mentioned, not liking the interior or steering wheel-it just says to me that this guy has bought an RS6 performance because he easily can not because he is a true Audi RS6 enthusiast and fully knows in details the options. I think if he knew what the other steering wheel looks like (i.e. flat bottomed) and the specific interior seats and trim; he would have gone with that.
But fair play it is still an awesome car!

I love the interior, i've always gone for Silver leather as it looks more special. Black is too basic in a £100k+ car.

Black sells come resale time. Just look at the super cars. The odd beige interior, but 90% black.

But the 'not quite black' alcantara with blue stitching is lovely alternative to black leather and I think most people buying second hand would want that from the Performance. And it matches the door cards and thigh pads nicely.
But each to their own, if he likes the silver then fairy nuff.

How can having a bit missing off the bottom of your steering wheel of a road car make you a true enthusiast? It is at best a matter of preference and at worst no more than an affectation on a road car. Fact is, if anyone thinks the flat-bottom assists in the ingress to and egress from the vehicle then they must be heinously overweight. It certainly isn't an aid to driving.
