    I was speaking with someone over at Audi Customer Experience, and they were kind enough to breakdown RS3 production numbers by year (2017 & 2018), and color in the US. It sounds like this wasn't an easy data pull for them, so big thanks to the Audi Customer Experience Center for sharing these numbers.

    Thanks for the data - really surprised how unpopular Florett Silver is (only 30???) Even Catalunya Red is more popular. I guess on a car like this most people don't pick a boring color.

    What do they consider black interior? If you add up the 2018 black interior/red stitching/grey stitching it equals the amount sold, but all cars either had grey or red stitching.

    All in all it’s about what I figured, around 1000-1200 cars per full model year. In Canada I would expect around 20% of those numbers.

    Thinking about it, I know in Canada the default was red. So if you select nothing, you get red, and I imagine that’s what black interior means (and they’re actually nothing selected - red).

    It's less than I thought... if they only sold 1200 in the states and 250 in Canada that is quite limited...

    I assume it is the opposite in the US since the default is grey here (and actually costs extra money for red). It also makes sense with the Ara Blue since the vast majority I have seen on the internet have grey stitching.

    The stitching colour was such a weird thing at launch. Default was red but then you don't get stitched leatherette on the door armrests (and knee pads I think, correct me if I'm wrong) but if you opted for grey (at no extra cost) you got the leatherette on those touchpoints. No one at my dealership even knew about this discrepancy as it was fine print on the options sheet.

    I’m confused on what the Black interior is compared to the Black w/ Gray Stitching. As if they are different I have 1 of 2 Ara Blue w/ Gray Stitching. Wondering if the other has Black Optics now and what packages lol

    I think for you Americans there was the base configuration of red stitching... you can then configure it with either grey stitch or the design pack... that's my guess.

    So when they say black interior, I believe that's the red stitch without rs design

    Here the base was Gray Stitching, then there was Red, and then RS Design. So boo, I guess I'm not that special.

    That is likely why they identity them as three different interiors. Still though... 1 of 1300 ain't bad heh

    Agreed, just confused what the Black & Black w/ Gray, and how they are different, I got the extend leatherette, so I'm wondering if that might be a thing, oh well. Still love the limited run!

    A lot of people think you want to race, when in reality, you just have to motor home because Chipotle.

    One of my fellow RS3 MA brethren has a Nogaro with red stitching and RS design. Down to 6, unless he’s already been included. Haha

    My son would LOVE your car. He wanted me to order a Navarro Blue RS3 (or RS5- LOL). I told him that I while I love dark blue cars, my Santorin blue B5 S4 made me decide that it just takes too much work to keep a dark car looking nice. He still wants me to reconsider...

    I'm sure some good pics would add fuel to his argument.

    Find it interesting that there are more Nardo Gray cars out there for 2018 compared to any other color since it used to be an Audi exclusive. When looking for a S7 there were only 5 Nardo with Black interiors in 2018 stateside. Makes me wonder what is the point of the 2020 Nardo Edition...

    Just picked up a 2018 Nardo Gray with Black Interior with Rock Gray stitching. According to Audicareusa there were 189 produced in this configuration. Strange that the number sent to me doesn't match the OP. They also didn't elaborate on the stitching color like the OP.

    the point is you get a cheaper car. a regular nardo configured with the same options in 2020 is somewhere around 2k more.

    Is this what “rock grey” looks like? Or is it a diff color?

    Thanks!.. but thats what confused me from my original re-post of someone elses data when I started the thread.

    --203 - Model Year 2018 Audi RS 3 2.5T quattro S Tronic Sedan models with Nardo Gray exteriors and Black interiors with Crescendo Red stitching sold in the U.S.
    --2 - Model Year 2018 Audi RS 3 2.5T quattro S Tronic Sedan models with Nardo Gray exteriors and Black interiors with Gray stitching sold in the U.S.
    --123 - Model Year 2018 Audi RS 3 2.5T quattro S Tronic Sedan models with Nardo Gray exteriors and Black interiors sold in the U.S.

    203 were RED
    2 were ROCK GREY
    123 ? Black interior but what stitching? (Most likely Rock Grey) Something else parsed the 2 referenced for some reason

    Audi told me, around September 3, 2020, that there are 120 Catalunya Reds for 2018, and only 27 have the standard interior color (i.e. no RS Design pack).

    I am thinking the Black is the grey stitching without the the RS interior package?? I believe someone mentioned that up above in a post.. That would make sense to me but not sure...
