You won't be surprised to learn I I'm getting itchy feet too! I've only had the S3 seven months

Had a brief chat with my dealer and it's going to be £40k - they have an initial allocation of three build slots and they are expecting the first one to land some time June / July 15.

My dealer did say the ceramics are going to be £3k odd Got to see if I can get Mrs Pulp to sign off getting one!

Yea, Mrs José isn't going to sign off on it, so I'll just have to deal with the cold shoulder when it arrives on the drive!
£40k starting is more reasonable than I heard (£45k) - long and the short is it's going to be £50k+ with options though.

The S3 Cab is £39k base, I really think they will want so separate to the RS3 badge, if it is £40k base I'm getting one for sure!

The S3 cab is lovely - drove one at an Audi showcase day and with the roof down you could hear all the exhaust noise uninterrupted!

Circa £40k for the RS3 I should have said. Standard spec is not going to be much over the S3 - you might get LED headlamps apparently. Comfort pack is still going to be an option - £40k car with no rear dimming mirror or parking sensors is pushing it i think....its definitley going to need the black pack.

Seems like we are both in the same boat!

I seem to remember the previous RS3 started at just under £39k so £40k would seem about right. The 5 pot engine is a peach but it will have to offer more than that to justify the extra £10k over the S3/Golf R. If the extra seats aren't needed its starting to push into proper sports car territory such as the Cayman.

It will be a lot of money with the carbon ceramics and the sports seats. Add in the must have options like the tech pack and sports exhaust its going to be pushing £50k and there are dynamically many better cars for that price. Regardless it will sell like hot cakes im sure.

Ive seen S3's with a tune box pushing 360 bhp and getting the 0-60 time down to 4 seconds so there will be a lot of people who will go down this route rather than go full fat and spend potentially £10k more.

I will take your orders

As I will now be a repeat customer I shall expect extra special discount

I was told firmly that there will be no discount but they would "look after me" on trade in. Lol
