4k for ceramics seems a no brainer too.

Dave you should go outrageous, but tasteful, with an exclusive package! Lets all live vicariously through your purchase! :mrgreen:

Ceramics all round or just front as with RS5?

Java Green with Chestnut brown interior I think, yummy!

ceramics up front

really dont think buckets are necessary given how good the SuperSports are

Racing Mica Blue with optics would be nice ... but too close to Sepang

I need a colour that is Exclusive, i.e. different to whats on offer as standard, but not something that will destroy resale like Imola or Samoa !

Looks like they are going to go out reasonably aggresive with this one then?

I just checked Audi NZ and an S4 starts at £62k!!!! WTF

The RS4 will be £80k plus..... and for that reason I am out for at least 2 years. :thumbsdown:

Pricing sounds good, I hope it is a decent to drive like the B7 and R8. I wonder if they will release a saloon later on.

Attractive standard spec and option pricing no question. It's quite heavy though, 1795kg's before options....how does that compare to the B7 Avant ? Also, fixed servicing intervals have come down from 10k to 9k, no bad thing I suppose.

Of which the majority of that could be put down to the PDK gearbox
