2025 8.5Y RS3 Orders- Post Your Spec

[Crowlski]

First, congrats are in order. I thought a new thread should be started now that the facelifted RS3 can be ordered in the USA. So those of you who have ordered an 8.5Y, Post your Spec and anticipated build week. Canada and EU friends can join in the fun as well.

Kyalami green
Carbon optic plus package
RS design package-green

Build week 22 and delivery around July.

Simple spec with the least assist. tech possible. Personal preferences.
Can't wait to have a RS3 back. Had a 2019 before and sold it in 2022. I do miss the sound!

Ah, I just checked the Audi website and they still have the 2024 listed.

[Heat00]

The left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing at Audi. SOP at this point.

To that end, was reading that Audi is in a bad way once tariffs hit. They don't build anything here, and with their company tanking in sales, they aren't positioned well to ride out the increase. Unfortunately, they may need to tack on increases to the consumer.

Question- how many of you aren't interested in getting the facelifted RS3 and rather stick with their current ride?

Does anyone know what the standard tires are?

**Raises hand**

I hate the reflector on the rear bumper, and the new steering wheel. There's absolutely nothing about the facelifted model that makes me wish we had waited.

With no bump in power, and no real positive changes in my eyes, I don't see why anyone would wait for a 2025 when you can get a deal on a 2024.

But, to each his own, I'm sure some people love the new look.

I am not interested in the cheep look of the front rings, the puffy kids sticker logo on the terrible steering wheel.... Whole thing looks fisher price now. Why they placed the front rings intercepting the hood line is super dumb. it looks like a nose that needs punched!

I like the rear end except for the vagina like slit dead center. I just can't get into it! PUN

[Tactical_ted]

I am able to build one on the Audiusa website as of today.

Order placed and put $2500 down. MSRP at Audi Fort Worth. Audi of Plano is trying to rob folks wanting $5K over.

Ascari Blue and all of the options except the Carbon & Dynamic package. The sales guy thinks I can get the dark wheels without the Carbon package.

I’ll be trading in my beloved 2018 Civc Type R! I’m looking forward to the upgrade and being part of the community.

I think if or when I order my next one, I might go with this blue. It has a different name than the last blue i see, the last blue was really cool looking.. are there any good/real pics of the RS in this blue floating around? I too would get the darker wheel choice.. this looks like a great combo for sure. going to google it now lol

[DFWDAWG76]

I was torn between Ascari Blue and Kemora Grey but ended up going AB. I missed out on Turbo Blue last round and have been wanting a blue car for a while. If you search Ascari Blue RS3 on YouTube, there are several videos where you can get a good look at the paint.

^^ That's identical to my spec.
I'm thinking this is the standard dealer optioned spec. Fully loaded basically.

Maybe. If so, interesting the dealer would choose Cc brakes as part of the DOS.

I guess. But I think ccb's scare some people off due to the insane replacement cost

I saw Audi Plano advertising they had allocations, didn’t realize they were w/ a $5K markup. SMH.

Did you check with any other dealerships in DFW besides FW and Plano? I’m in DFW as well and purchased my wife’s Q7 from Audi Grapevine - have an inquiry with my sales guy there, waiting to hear back.

Yeah,I saw on FB Audi of Plano had 3 allocations, so I reached out immediately. I didn’t check with Grapevine. When I was on the hunt for a 2024 they wanted $10K over, now this was like a year and 1/2 ago and things may have changed. I’d also check with Audi Dallas as they advertise that they don’t markup new cars. Good luck!

McKinney has one for sure, they have been messaging me about it. I have mine placed with Audi Dallas. Yeah, Plano was the first place I called since they are basically just a few mins away but the markup is insane.

[NapalmEnema]

Honestly glad I have my 2022 I like how in that year I have it breaks up the black. Back and front too much giant black areas without any pops to break it up. And that steering wheel.....um..........yeah.

[Drewmin]

@DFWDAWG76 and @randomguy111 thank you both for the info! At FW and Dallas they let you guys submit your own build requests? Or are you just reserving allocations that they are building?
