RS4 Pics from Essen 2006 - New options

[Erik]

Here are my pics from Essen 2006, focus on the new Audi RS4.

As you can see it has some new options as well as a special quattro GmbH interior.

I must say the black optics and the titanium wheels is a must.
The 'piano lacquer' in the front is not my kind of taste, I prefer a matt color over shiny. But apparently that was what the Audi designers wanted for Essen, many other Audis had it as well.

Note that the exhaust is no different than stock other than the color. No sports exhaust like the RS6.

PLEASE do not use these pics on any other forums etc. without stating the source. Thank you...


This car has the following options (plus a few more not worth mentioning )

Adaptive lights
Comfort package
Navi/TV
9x19" Titanium rims (NEW)
High performance tires 255/35/19 (P Zero Corsa)
Exclusive package - Leather / Valcona
RS4 Floor mats (NEW?)
Black optics (NEW) Looks very good IMO!
RS sports steering wheel
Sportfahrwerk Plus

Basic cost: €69.000
As displayed: €85.265

According to the person I spoke to the RS4 will be available on the road late January.

ENJOY!!!




Highly recommended! Titanium look wheels. Note the rubber.









Red inlays. The color can be your choice from Audi Exclusive.





Exhaust has blakc optics, but no difference in sound.







Note the material. It is possible to get this for the hand brake as well.



Note the red stitching.



Sorry for the red over exposure. Quite difficult color to capture.



If you didn't hear me. Order the titanium wheels...!!!







Piano look in the grill is not my taste. Looks better in the picture than in real life.

I don't really like the material of the steering wheel and the stig(dunno if it's called like that) but the rest is..

Thank you for nice pics. In fakt I don't think it's possible to do bad photo of this car

People here were bitchin more than some Katrina victims about the price being even north of $75K! If they see $100K, they'll just faint!!!

It is speculated that it will run @ $75K US. Well worth it if you have the budget.

Erik, cool pics - many thx for posting. Now we know how the inevitable outgoing RS4 Plus will look like! However, I am happily now sure that will not order any of these options. Plus suspension and all looks business but ride is probably rubbish. And nope, no suede wheel for me. Titanium alloys and black optics? Acquired taste I believe: did not personally like them on the RS6+. Red stitching and piping mats really nice but the inlays....

:cool2:

Were these wheels a matte or satin finish? It's the color I've been looking for and was hoping Audi would offer it.

[Erik]

More satin I would say. It didn't 'eat' the light so to speak, so a bit shiny. "Ghost" like.

[Ruergard]

omg... the tanium look is awsome! Love it!
And not to talk about the interior...:bigeyes:

Perfect. I like the black diamond finish on some BBS wheels so this new titanium finish Audi wheel is pretty close to it.

Imo they should match the mirrors, exhaust pipes, window trim and the trim ring around the grill w/ the titanium wheels so everything would match. I'll be ordering the titanium wheels w/ Avus silver regardless but if all of the trim would match it would be quite nice. Those wheels are meant for Avus silver

But why no ceramic brakes on this sport edition show car?
