Not sure about wasting money, if you want the kit then tick the box. If you don't like the hit on a new car buy used I guess.
Down to personal tastes & preference, but to spec Ceramics on an S model is an unusual choice. An RS i'd understand & having tracked most of my higher performing vehicles i see the benefit of Ceramics on a heavy RS can, but would you really track an S6? & could you really push an S6 hard enough on the road to warrant Ceramics?

Still not sure how you could get to £36K of extra's even with Ceramics & B&O. Gonna have a play now though to find out.

Nothing to do with hit on a new car as i'd likely lease or contract hire, but adding close to 70% on a new cars cost in extras is a very brave move as pretty much all of that will be lost as it leaves the showroom. However if an owner was intending to keep the car for most of its useful life then it's back to personal taste:)

Anyone know for sure whether those are optional 21s? They certainly look it with the stretched tyres and gap to the ceramics inside (the discs cannot possibly be smaller than the 420mm C6)

The car is just dripping with want. Exhaust sound on the vid isn't great though nothing a milly couldn't sort out.

This pushes all the same aesthetic buttons for me as my B7. Beautiful!!

It makes the B8 RS4 & RS5 look a bit 'simple' with their blisters :bash: and mellow front ends.

This is what an RS should look like. Well done Audi. Now sell me one half price :boots:
