RS6 Performance Edition is Open to Order.

I've found a dealer with a stock order on the system for a PE, build week 6. Awaiting some numbers back. When, roughly, does spec get locked??

Didn't dare ask - not sure they would've known if it had 4 wheels or 5, so the seats / bench question would send them into meltdown.

+1, the dealers I've spoken to don't sem to know a great deal about them.

I was in a dealers todays picking up the wifes car and noticed they had a Sprint Blue non-performance RS6 there with the 20" wheels. They are so much nicer in the flesh than the 21" wheels (non-performance ones), just a shame there is too much rubber making them look too small. I so wish they made them in 21". I' not sure if I'd prefer to buy the non-performance version just to get the 20" wheels... Actually who am I trying to kid, that'll never happen.

Sprint blue or Sepang Blue? I hope you took a pic if it was the former!

Sprint
And picture shared

Pretty sure it was Sprint, don't think it is Kingfisher or Nogaro, but defo not sepang.

I test drove a normal C7. Looked nice in Sprint blue but would have preferred it with black optics. Still loving those 20" wheels, really aggressive in the flesh.
It is definitely quick in a straight line but not so agile through the bends. The wife's RS3 is so much more chuckable through the bends. This might have been down to the demo car being on air but I'm hoping for slight improvement with the DRC.

Looks good!

So the dealer now has 3 stock orders for the PE, BW 6, 8 and 13. They're insistent though that they can't take any customer orders (with VW Finance) on them yet as the GFV hasn't been set, even after I pointed out that other dealers are taking orders.

To top it all, the Sales Manager wanted me to clarify - "Are you looking for Saloon or Avant?"

Go to another dealer

[MikeFish]

Lol, yes you need to talk to someone else.

And just in case you didn't see my thread, after seeing the photos of the actual German cars for sale with only 2 back seats my dealer has spoken to Audi UK who confirmed UK spec cars will have 3 rear seats.

Ideally yes, but BW 6 sounds handy to me

Build week 8 seems about right with what I was told ie expect delivery late March early April.
