Was Nardo grey only available to RS ranges or could you get any new Audi in that colour?
Was it an expensive option or free colour option?

It was the only free colour on the RS3 and RS6 from memory. But if you pay for the Exclusive paint option (where available) on any VAG car you can have it too. Price varies based on car.
I don't think it has been offered as a normal option (i.e. not Exclusive) on any non-RS though.

Thanks a lot for clarifying

There is an Audi colour that is very similar to Nardo/primer grey which is available in all the other models which is Nano grey, it’s slightly darker and metallic.

Sounds about right. I think exclusive paint on the RS6 was about that when it was still available as an option.

It was an option on the facelift RS6, from memory it was £500 but it may have been more. It is the base colour on the new RS4 too.
I know it was a bit of a gamble when I ordered mine as I hadn’t seen one in the flesh - certainly wasn’t disappointed .
Nardo and Black works

It was the only free colour on pre and post face-lift.
Edit; configurater shows a few other colours free too. But nardo was defo a free colour on the face-lift.

Wasn’t Ascari blue a free colour for the PE?. That and Sepang have both disappeared from the Configurator.

Nardo was free on the facelift C7. If you paid for it then someone ripped you off.
Check your order form.

That Nano grey is very much like Battleship grey. Weird colours. Not sure if they pop as much as Nardo.

Maybe wrong terminology but the Nano or Battleship look flat in comparison to Nardo.
