RS6 Performance Edition is Open to Order.

[MikeFish]

Agreed, the Noggy RS4 interior was awful. I quite like the blue in this RS6 though.
Looked through the brochure and there is no photo of the Performance rear bench so would have to assume if they did remove a fifth of the seating capacity they'd have the decency to announce it and therefore it is a standard rear bench!

[boff]

That's how I'm reading it, i think the 4 seat interior is RS7PE not RS6PE

[doodlebug]

Well, Audi are not renowned for cock ups. Oh hang on....

Best sell a child.

[boff]

hahahhaaaaa. Having just told the Mrs that it isn;t worth discussing the RS6PE with her due to the stress level, and then infact that it was simply better to get it ordered - and endure a large amount of pain over a smaller period of time.....

She then carried on to explain what the penalty system looked like. Better plan for weeks away in the car alone.

weeks away in the car alone - bliss......yes.... wish mine would let me do that....

I wish I could get the blue carbon in mine, but it's not a 'Performance' and already built. Would be good to see if it can be bought separately and swapped in. Wouldn't mind the RS7 Perf's wheels either.

I could kind of understand making the A2 + TT four seat only (smaller cars) and also some A7 and A8 models (some people will buy these to be chaffeured in) but I would not be able to understand Audi making the biggest fastest 5dr estate car they have ever sold a four seat only?

It's not planned or allowed. Just necessary!!

Boff: lovely reading about the mrs.
what i cannot recommend is to order it and whistle, look into the skye. i did that with my first rs6c7, it wasn't pretty...

Im definitely considering ordering the RS6PE but i do have a few questions.

How good is the drc and how good can i assume the new air suspension to be?

Is the reason why i cannot get tow with drc in the spec cause the dry will be in the way?

has anyone seen matt titanium? I'm googling but just cannot seem to see it anywhere.


The most important question: WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE COLOUR? (holy grail) for the rs6!? Im considering fluorettesilver or perhaps black, whichone is the new blue? Ascari?

Very thankful for quick answers cause just might order this one soon and this site has provided me before with great info!
Cheers guys

[VantageRS]

I can not see the new Ascari blue on the config, so no idea. For me i like the look of Panther Black, no idea how the Titanium looks either but i did like the Ali.
Really like the Alcantara seats stiched blue as well.
Oh i can tell you boff hates the air.

[PSB1]

Ascari is shown in the brochure for what it's worth. Looks good.

I know they're divisive, but I like the new wheels.

Being part of this forum will be the end of me one day. I've only just got an RS4, but it's dividend time and I'm already talking about a. PE order. Want a savage discount though. Wishful thinking? Maybe but VAG need sales so we'll see.

[doodlebug]

If savage is 10% you're in luck, you'll not push that much if any.

Deal is done, only waiting for build date now. I had put a deposit down on a standard car a month ago but as my build wasn't locked (fingers crossed everything finalised tomorrow morning) I was able to change the spec.
Spec is:
Sepang Blue
Dynamic Pack
Black Valcona Leather with rock grey stitching
Gloss black pack
Gloss black V Spoke alloys (performance version)
Assistance pack
Panoramic sunroof
Parking pack advanced
Advanced key
Red callipers

I'm not keen on alcantara so stuck with the standard and as the sports exhaust, privacy glass and alloys where all included the price wasn't much more

Just had an email this morning from the dealer, he is trying to change the spec but it looks like it is frozen. Bollocks, looks like I might be a plain Jane after all. Will know in an hour after he has spoken to Audi UK.

[MikeFish]

I think i got an offer of nearly 15% discount today. Need to clarify his wording first to be sure. I suspect he thought it was a normal RS6 though.

Does that include the finance contribution? When I say 10%, I mean 10% off the base price (not OTR). You'll then get AUK's chunk of finance contribution on top, but as this is fixed the % goes down as purchase price goes up.
