Tempted to go for Suzuka Grey again, as I loved that on my first B8
Never had a Nogaro blue before, and I always loved that colour since the RS2

Suzuka is a great colour. Not seen a B9 RS4 wearing it yet and could only find this image of an RS5.

I'd suggest putting that Laptop out of reach if you watch this. :lol:

Big Dave has it there, what an utter tool.

What does he race? A brief look at his web page and there’s no updates for years.

I’ve never quite understood YouTube viewers fascination with making class A <beep> into heroes
Surely Audi know their target market isn’t 14yr old kids, so why invite twats like this on their launches
Anyway, his review of the car was positive, and good to hear that it’s a step over the RS3, which he owns, so that legitimises his oppinion somewhat

He does own a R8 V10+ Gen2 and Audi gave him the RS3 as a long term review, still doesn’t make him any good though. I think the Audi PR team has been taken over by a bunch of millennials.

I think it’s going to be a nice bit of kit, wonder what the likes of MRC manage to squeeze out them in the future?

Nogaro IS excusive, isn't it?

Yeah, Nogaro is listed as exclusive, but I assume just as an example so you can see the car on the configurator with it.
I'm torn between Nogaro and Suzuka, but I also like the standard Dark metallic blue (Novarra?), and that'd save me a few quid too

Hi all, new member here.

Currently awaiting my Nogaro RS4 which will be my first RS car, after growing up with the brand with a father who were a VAG mechanic. Very excited and interesting to read your reflections.

Unfortunately delivery will be first only late spring due to very high load on the exclusive paint department for some reason. A different choice of color could have reduced lead time with a couple of months but stuck with my desicion. Hoping for a short and fast winter. :lol:

Still a bread van with a b3ll end driving it :dung:
Please can a photoshop genius render a saloon so we can all see the beauty of the alternative that will never be for example here's a B8. I would bite a salesman hand off to have an RS4 B9 saloon. :rocker:
