Like the rear flared fenders. Has a good look. Quoted power figures should be adequate:D

What can I say?

I like the quantity of leather they use on their interiors. Why can't quattro GmbH put leather over the horn section of the steering wheel like that in their custom prgram? They go to the trouble of offering the steering wheel in Alcantara yet they leave the horn section in factory plastic?!? Looks half arsed compared to the RUF way of doing things IMHO.

Also like the manequin in the background with the look a like Star Trek outfit :D

Because it costs EUR 30,000 to test each different coloured leather they use. Atl east that is the excuse. I told them to test using ISO standard leathers, so they would only have to 1 or 2 at the most but this was a 'notinventedhere' solution, so too hard. In the mean time take your cars to TechArt or Ruf to get all the extra trimming. It will save you money too, my all leather roof from quattro GmbH cost over USD 6,000; from anybody else, including Porsche it would be USD 3000, I asked why and was told 'we price for the Gulf market'.
It is infuriating to spend over EUR20,000 on a special interior and still have to take the car to a coachbuilder to have the extra work done.
