    Good to know that's a consistent story.

    Has anyone been able to confirm if the 25’s have the OPF? I remember it was a big talking point when the HP drop was announced.

    No word yet on if there will be a price increase due to tarrifs. SA said it would be determined once window sticker generates at the port

    Wow ETA shows 5/20:
    Voyage Data
    Destination
    Davisville, United States (USA)
    ETA: May 20, 06:00 (in 7 days)

    Could this be at the dealership by end of May?

    Thats hard to say. It should be at dealerships by end of May...and MrFunk should be ripping the 130 at 85 mph in it right now.

    thankfully this will be the last Audi I ever buy lol, it has been absolutely ridiculous. I think I am quite bitter since 2021 over the last minute decision not to bring it to Canada. Then the terrible communication from both dealerships I had dealt with.

    I understand but neither of those take away the driving experience of the car.

    Have not been able to confirm it. The Audi press guy I emailed stated he thought the USA version would have different exhaust filters than the Euro spec, which I interpret to mean we'll have secondary cats as opposed to OPF's. No official confirmation, though.

    I think I'm on this one too! I know there are people who have cars already in the US, so hopefully Audi starts releasing the cars. I'm hopeful to have it by June, but I guess we'll see.

    It doesn't seem like anything was ever 100% verified, but my understanding is the HP "drop" is just Audi finally standardizing the units of power properly across European and American cars. The RS3 has always been 400PS (European), which equates to 394HP (US). The 2024 RS3 was 400PS and the 2025 RS3 is 400PS.

    Before 2025, they used to market it in the US as 400HP even though it still had 400PS in Europe. In other words, it seems like they were not actually converting to the proper HP unit and for consistency just said it was the same (400PS and 400HP). For whatever reason, they are now marketing it by its proper amount, which is causing a lot of confusion.

    This seems to be the likeliest story given that the PS rating remains unchanged. I suppose anything is possible though, and Audi communication has overall been pretty bad alongside being inconsistent with many other detail oriented things (mismatched badging, for one).

    That would basically just be the mid pipes then right, which are after the sensors. Or do you think they would add more cats before the sensors?

    The original Audi USA press release for the 8Y referenced the fact that the US version made more power than the RS3 in other markets, saying "The RS 3 available in the U.S. is also the most powerful and raucous sounding RS 3 in the world". It also claims a 7 horsepower increase over the 8V (i.e. from 394 to 401), which was not claimed in other markets: https://media.audiusa.com/assets/doc...leaseFINAL.pdf

    It's definitely a drop in power, though not a particularly consequential one. As others mentioned in this thread before, likely just a difference in ECU tuning rather than OPF. OPF is quite an expensive addition, no reason to add it if it's not required. But we'll only know for sure once customers start taking delivery and peeking underneath.

    Ha!
    Well no - mine is still sitting at port. Hoping to hear of some movement this week, but who knows how deep it's buried in the holding facility...

    Good Morning Everyone,

    Apologies, for any late PM I have responded to, had been out of my dealership due to the flu

    Just got back today with updated news for those who have been asking, any fully submitted order prior to March 31 is price locked via Audi! They did not give me information on orders submitted April 1st and forward, will keep you guys updated when I get that info.

    Excellent! Will this be noted on the window sticker via a code?

    The invoice will receive either "NA1" or "NA2" to designate "No Import Fee". The window sticker will not have a code, only the MSRP reflecting whether it is a pre vs post tariff vehicle. (subject to change of course)

    I am definitely not enthusiastic about the delivery, as one would hope. I am sure the end product will be great, and arguably the best on the market today for its class. The relationship between owner and dealer isn't going to be there, that's for sure.

    That's really great news, thanks Zach! I still can't help but feel a little nervous the dealer might try to pull something. Is there any sort of release or official documentation we can reference to hold our local dealerships to this?

    In the upcoming weeks, once the increased MSRP amount is posted, there should be an accompanied price-lock publication as well.

    For anyone with an order who has not received word from there sales associates in the next 24-48 hours I recommend reaching out to them to confirm that your order has been fully submitted into the ordering system with a March 31 or earlier ORDER date.

    Edit: fixing this post, I realized I made a mistake in my word choice

    So if my order was built on april 28th it will go up in price even if I submitted the order march 22nd?

    Is it a fully submitted order prior to March 31?
    Or is it a March 31 or earlier build date?
    Both are different correct?

    From the information on the corporate call, a fully submitted order prior to March 31 is the qualification.

    i.e. Max1092's order being submitted and confirmed March 22nd would qualify for price-protection. A build date of April 28th would not be a factor.

    My order was submitted March 17th, but the sheet says I’m buying the car for MSRP but doesn’t specify an exact number. You said that MSRP is increasing, can a dealer technically use the “new” MSRP when it comes time to buy my car?

    No, dealerships cannot change or edit MSRP's whatsoever. They are all set by Audi corporate.

    This wasn't the question.
    I believe the question was that if a purchase agreement lists "Car will be sold at MSRP", but does not list what the MSRP is at the time of signing, could that dealership sell the car at an increased MSRP if the car arrives at the dealership after a new MSRP is released by Audi.
    I believe the question is YES unless the agreement states "Car will be sold at MSRP at date of signature on this document". Then I think you'd be locked in.

    My original Purchase agreement from my dealership specifically listed that "Audi of American may change MSRP pricing at any time without notice"

    Welcome back and hope you're feeling better! Thanks for all of the info you've provided to help this small, yet excited group!!

    I'm assuming the "Factory Submitted" line in OMD is the "order date" threshold. If so, this is one happy fella as I'm in at 3/20/25

    Hmm, I guess I'm not understanding the question. For orders submitted prior to March 31, there were MSRP's available at that time when configuring the build specs, those are the numbers that are price-locked. I guess a dealership could pull some tom-foolery and try to charge the new MSRP, but the price-locked orders would have the March MSRP's listed on them.

    Yes, "Factory Submitted" would be the order date line. Glad to see you were able to get the correct COMM# from your sales associate!

    Yep, this was what I was confused about. I didn’t know there was an actual number attached to my order at the time of submission instead of just “MSRP”. So for example my build turned out to be $70k which was MSRP at the time, but if it increased to $80k post-tariffs I thought they’d try and charge me the post-tariff MSRP.

    Sorry if I’m beating a dead horse, my SA is out today so I can’t ask him. I submitted my order on the 22nd, looking back at my email chain with my SA I know it was accepted at some point between the 22nd and April 2nd but I don’t know the exact date. is the date that matters the order submission at the dealer or the factory acceptance from Audi?

    Well not exactly haha. He sent me a screenshot of the right side of the OMD screen. So I still don't know the comm# as it was conveniently out of frame in the pic he sent 😂, but the dates I can see. One additional question if it's not a bother: There's no date next to "Exit Production Plant" but I got an email stating that it left the factory on 4/26, 2 days after the listed production complete date. So just curious if it's just out of sync or if the "exit production plant" means something different than what the email counts as leaving the factory.

    Oh interesting, I'm inclined to believe factory submission but I don't want to give a definitive answer without know everything.

    I wouldn't worry about the "exit production plant" line item, i'm not sure what it's for but I actually have never seen it be used lol

    Just got back today with updated news for those who have been asking, any fully submitted order prior to March 31 is price locked via Audi! They did not give me information on orders submitted April 1st and forward, will keep you guys updated when I get that info.
    Hello and many thanks for your valuable input on this forum. On March 21 I received an email from "Audi Experience" saying "Your Audi RS3 sedan has been ordered." According to your info this means it should be price locked. When I contacted my SA yesterday, they told me that Audi is not price protecting cars and they will be tariffed. I don't want to challenge my SA unnecessarily by contacting the sales manager directly and I'm considering the possibility the manager is the source of this (mis?-) information. Who can I contact to get confirmation one way or the other?

    I'm not sure who the best contact or resource would be, I'm hoping the official announcement will be released sooner rather than later to help clear up all of the logistic confusion. I was only given the updated information today from my GM's who had a corporate call regarding the pricing. They had me reach out to all of my customers to provide the pricing information and get confirmation that they would be keeping their orders.

    Minus Zach, who's been an undeniable gentleman and scholar for helping ease our fears with info


    Anyway fingers crossed that my car makes the next ship out to San Diego. That is one long trek and it's already been so hard to wait.

    RS3 sitting at the port for a few weeks now on hold with no pricing available. What are others seeing or hearing?

    Does anyone have price protection in writing?
    I feel like this might be a tactic dealers use to keep you from buying something else and possibly losing you as a potential buyer. Audi hasn’t made any public announcements about price protection. If such a policy existed, they wouldn’t be holding cars at the port.

    I think you vastly underestimate how much it takes to get even the smallest things done at corporations, much less corporations with evidence of mismanagement. It'd be too much of a coincidence that multiple people got reached out to on the same day after a corporate with the same story of a price protection promise.

    Sorry, but until we get clear information from Audi, I still don’t believe there’s any official price protection policy in place. It sounds more like something to keep RS3 buyers from walking away.
