No mention about carboceramic brakes, carbon fiber bucket seats and 20" alloys...

Imo they are holding things back so they can add a more expensive RS3 plus model later on.

Carbo brakes and bucket seats are going to be offered on the RS3, as it's written in its press release. I think they're going to be available in next weeks.

RoyG will be happy NARDO GREY is a no cost option.😱

If that is the case why produce and release a PDF brochure ?.

Standard equipment in the new Audi RS 3 Sportback also includes the parking system plus and the MMI radio. Options include S sport seats with diamond pattern, embossed logos and optional light-colored upholstery, and for the first time in the compact segment the newly developed RS bucket seats with integrated side airbags and a carbon seat shell, which are seven kilograms (15.4 lb) lighter than the basic sport seat. Another attractive option is the RS 3 interior design package with red accents on the knee pad, the air vents, the floor mats and the seat belts. This color also shimmers through the perforations of the S sport seats.

Exactly, this is a poor brochure with limited information on certain options.

Is this for the UK market as cars have different options for different countries?.

We will only find out exactly what's available when they actually open up the order books,I think the pdf spec is what's gonna be available for the first orders and then as is typical of car manufactures do a facelift later on and in Audis case also add a plus model ,Audi have recently done this with the RSQ3.

I appreciate that however there is still no clarification what the difference is visually between a Sport and Supersport seat except the latter as diamond quilt stitch?

Grahame I agree with you 100% you're right it's a poor brochure ,I think they are gonna be the same option seats as available in the S3 but with RS branding.Its gonna be one expensive car with a decent spec.

"Satellite Navigation system – SD card-based. Route planning and guidance using voice, pictogram and 2D mapping shown on the 5.8” colour display screen.

Can be operated via the MMI controls, multi-function steering wheel or voice control system. Includes European map data and 7-digit postcode recognition n £495.00"

 

What 5.8" display?  Earlier it says that 7" is standard!

[Kiteral]

No Carbon trim either, which is heresy on an RS model....

[SK-RS3]

Well only a few extras and I'm looking at around 50k think I'm getting a used RS4 with less than 15k miles for about 5-7k less

[P_G]

Which will feel a bit slower and less nimble, hard to find one in the exact spec you want, depreciating quicker and thirstier!

[P_G]

Interestingly, still not on the configurator though.......

[Kiteral]

Another moan, you cannot get black optics, without the stupid (IMHO) Quattro logo...and it's £695 !!!!

 

I'm even thinking of Daytona without black optics....

[Kiteral]

Latest from the dealer is ordering opening April now.

 

So we have the incomplete spec, ie no carbon, buckets and 'ramics

 

But we still can't order it.....

[rs2.5]

Thats weird as my dealer tried booking me in for today!

[swhbox-facebook3]

My dealer (Cambridge) also says orders start in April.

Magnetic ride is it a must have?
