What color is your RS3?

[Zeruel]

Let's see which is the most popular color! (I'm guessing grey?)
Mine's black. Always liked that color on cars, except when trying to keep them clean...

EDIT: Seems I should have differentiated between the different grey colors etc, and that the default colors from the Audi site I checked Not was the default colors for most people...
New poll with the wanted colours can now be found here: https://www.audizine.com/forum/showt...curate-options!)

Don't forget to vote in the poll! 😉

[Fixeroh]

Voted. Love the Nardo Grey. May be the most popular RS3 color but think my car is the only RS3 for many miles around. It's not an in your face color and easy to keep clean. Love other colors but my previous car, 2015 S3, was black and a real pain to keep clean in Ohio. Black optics package and currently sporting black OZ Racing wheels.

I voted, even though I haven't taken delivery of mine yet....heck, it hasn't even started being built yet (15 days to go), but since I've just sold my Nardo S3 sedan, I feel like I'm not far from being part of the RS3 family! It will be another Audi Exclusive colour in Dark Red Mica....Can't believe I'm gonna be driving a "red" car, but really, it's more like a very dark claret/burgundy with black optics! For those of you who wanna see what that looks like, Google "burgundy RS6". That front on pic of the car is what sold me on that colour as soon as I saw it...I was gonna order Merlin Purple, but that pic clinched it!

Daytona grey, have seen nothing but nardo around here so wanted to go with something different.

[Phayl]

Your poll is awfully inaccurate by nature.. Grey will win, car shipped with Nardo lol. Really should have been more specific with colors as Daytona is a fraction of "grey".

I checked Audi's homepage and used all available colors in the poll. I know there are several different variations of most colors, like metallic/ pearl effect etc, but I wasn't really interested in knowing that, and I didn't want twice as many options in the poll.
I know grey (non metallic) is the only color that you don't have to pay extra for, but I doubt people who can afford a car like this will let that decide their color of choice.

If i had known Ara was going to be as popular as it became I would have gone daytona since i have always had a love for metallic grey cars.

Awesome to hear, welcome to the DRM club. I ordered my S4 in 2014 and its the only one in US/Canada from 2010-2016. You'll love the color,. A piece of advise, get a sample for touch up when the car is built. This paint is very exclusive and not one body shop I've visited here in NorCal has R54 paint finish listed. Took me almost three years to get the paint composition from Audi but I have it now. It's a full repaint, don't let a shop fool you with just a fender respray, it won't match. Enjoy the color

Any rub?

Any rub?

Tiny bit in the rear but I’m getting 034 camber arms, about -0.3 degrees will fix it. It just shaves the tiniest bit off the top of the tire under big bumps

So you have Blue?

Nardo for me.

[stanglife]

Makes poll with "grey" - not separating Daytona from Nardo...then includes Green as an option...

That looks so good! And the colour change in sun to shade is wicked too, I hear! I was going to do that, regarding touch up paint, as I know it won't be matched well. One of the reasons why I was contemplating PPF'ing the whole car. Now I'm REALLY getting excited. Thanks for the pic....just stunning!

Like I said; I used all available colors in the configurator on the Audi homepage, without separating solid, metallic, pearl effect and crystal effect. I didn't know that the different variations of each color was so important to some people. Sorry about that.
Believe it or not, green was actually the pre-selected color.

My bad - you're in Sweden so the options are a little different. I think most of us are in North America where the base colors are (abbreviating) - white, Daytona, nardo, blue, black and usually some form of red. Everything else is exclusive - wish green was on the base list.

This.

There are two greys. Your poll does not differentiate between Daytona and Nardo.

There are three different greys and two different blacks in the configurator I checked (see my picture in post #22), but I didn't differentiate between any of these color variations as I didn't think it was so important to people. My apologies.

[Carty]

Based on another thread on here, nardo is easily the most popular color while Daytona is about average. Would be curious to see if this forum follows the same trend.

[galaxy]

wish I had a yellow one...

[nardoe]

Nardo for sure. I would've even paid extra for it .. don't know why audi made it a free option. I'm sure that extra $500 was a reason for most people getting nardo even if they liked another color more.

[defau1t]

Florett silver (discontinued for US) is not an option so I had to check Other. If the poll was more accurate this would be much more useful!

[TheContrarian]

Nardo is the vanilla ice cream of RS3s.

lol im using this at the next cars and coffee

Honestly Nardo wasn't bad until every manufacturer came out with their own flat grey and it was everywhere.

Yup....totally agree. I bought my S3 sedan in Nardo back when it was kinda getting started, but still quite rare. By the time I sold my car and ordered a RS3 sedan, I couldn't go the same colour as it seems to be all over the place, and more so, as you say, with every other me too car maker. Nice to know there are no other Dark Red Mica Audis in the country. So much so that Audi Australia are keen to see my car when it arrives as it's not been seen here before.

[MarcusDubya77]

Can we get some more specificity?

[calcifer_rs3]

Colors I’ve seen in my lifetime in person in the Seattle, WA area:

Catalunya Red
Nardo Grey
Green (bright green)
Black
Daytona Grey

When I originally purchased this car, I wanted white but they were being sold left and right so I just decided eh YOLO and went with Catalunya Red. I’ve gotten pretty nice comments on it and people asking “Is that orange?” Haha

[Zeruel]

Can we get some more specificity?

Yes you can, in the new poll.
