Although, the configurator seems to have added the £23k leather package twice.

[Fun Bus]

Somehow, the configurator seems to have added a lot of things twice so it makes it a car which could'nt be ordered.

I think it has the entire options list twice.

So I guess well done for beating the system, although I know myself having just ordered a new Audi (arriving in 2 weeks) that the configurator is not only very bad, but it also offers options and configurations that you simply can't have.

And I thought the options list on the R8 was a joke...

How the hell did you manage that? I tried and maxed out at £136,895 RRP, with £71,595 of options.

£72k in options...

I think the entire list has been repeated possibly bar the quattro sports diff, still at half the options - £70k is more than the cost of the 'base spec' A8.

How about this though,

Just had a go with ford, was looking at the car range see what would be most stupid with optional extra's and then it hit me the Transit so went through it all, base price of the transit £26,820, Final price with extra's £42,482 for a box on wheels. Think i might go down to B&Q and buy one of those ride on lawn mowers with a trailer haha. The best option for the Transit was to make it All Wheel Drive, this would give you a fivers change from 4K. XD

Mum just got this in an E-Mail:

I have just discovered the Rolls-Royce configurator and, well I will be losing hours of my life on it. The interior options on the 'bespoke' interior trim option are endless and even runs to pink leather and leather trim options for the 'hatshelf'. You can spec a Ghost and a Phantom but only the saloon.

[Shaw Tarse]

I think it was Auto Express who tried this & doubled the price of a Mini?

[Adz The Rat]

I had a do at a RS6 Avant and got it to around £120k, was nice though.

[Fun Bus]

How the hell?! I've just got one to £101,180.

[Whitean3]

From a thread I posted on a year or two ago- I give you the Porsche Cayenne Diesel. In orange metallic. For 76K!
