Black optic pack now available on the audi.de configurator @ €550, as well as Audi Exclusive colours @ €2,400, so expect it to be coming soon to UK orders.

Good video of a Daytona Grey coupe with it on here;

This enhances the looks no end! Shame its not in the UK

I must be in the minority, or getting old, as I actually prefer the chrome on a black car which is what I have ordered (cheaper too). I also think the privacy glass on a coupe does not look quite right as such relatively little window space gets it as it is only from the B pillar back. However I do think it looks right on the sportback.

Funnily enough as I've been reading the last couple of pages I was thinking exactly the same thing, I prefer the chrome, and privacy glass on 1/2 the glass is not my cup of tea.

Optics on a black car wont look good, will be better with silver. Red, maybe.

I may be geting old but black/black looks too drug dealer/chav

I've not seen a sportsback 2017 with privacy glass on line, only the older models.

For those that have ordered red........

[simonwhite2000]

some additional Nav Blue pics of the car at Cheshire Oaks. They still have not cleaned it up however probably better to see it dirty than full of swirl marks once they clean it. I saw someone going round the cars outside using one bucket and a sponge. I really hope they dont prep new cars like that

Black Pack pics - noticed it also has 20" wheels

Is that a red door armrest/handle I spy? Configurator shows black with red stitching. I like it but that's an odd discrepancy.

ETA - Ignore me, that's a TT.

Yeah its a TT but the same seats and same colour red - cant find red leather on an S5 interior at any dealer near me but gives the general idea

Just spoke to the dealer who confirmed its Betamax.

Anyone checked their order status?
Mine seems to have moved to 'construction will start on 10th April'

When did you order?
Id ask why it has been put back

[ODRALLAG]

Around mid November, just last week it was Feb 20th like most other people. Checked today and it's now April!

[mackie1]

That's a little worrisome as it placed mine at the end of Nov and was quoted a 14 week lead time. Hope my current deal has some extension flexibility in it!

Same here, order placed (according to yourAudi) on the 17th of November, initially said 13th of March, then 20th of Feb, now 3rd of April.

My Golf doesn't go back until 27th of April, so I aren't that bothered as long as its here before then and they don't come after me for £600 odd extra 'road tax'!

None of the above confirmed - will find out everything tomorrow lunch time. Select leasing still have a similar deal and a dealer in Sheffield has given me the same price as V4B deal.
Really hoping V4B can work something out with the dealer. All this over some bloody privacy glass!

I ordered my sportback through V4B and it is coming from JCT600 Sheffield, so that figures!

Sorry got confused and wrote that incorrectly - the pricing was matched by South Hereford Garages who do Audi and VW and as you pointed out the supplier to the leases is Sheffield. DOH!

Red leather looks nice. Thanks for the pics mate
