[tan79]

Has anyone ordered a 2022 RS3 with a unique color? If so, what did you choose?

The first question is, has anyone ordered it yet at all?

[jwil]

Pretty sure the ‘22 won’t be available to order until fall. Dealers don’t even have order guides yet.

I’d order it if Audi threw in a 6 speed manual option…..

[jd_rs3]

The most important question, imo, are they offering it in primer color

Not a standard color for 2022, but I’m assuming you can order it in an exclusive color. The kemora grey would be the closest.

as an owner and fan of Nardo/aluminum. I approve of its discontinuation.

[A4 Centaur]

If I see one more Chalk Colored Porsche or Grey, Gray, Primer Colored Jeep, Hyundai, Kia, Dodge Challenger; I'm gonna still order Mythos Black.

If you own a Nardo you're pretty much a Subaru now

Uhh yeah, black is so uncommon

[jd_rs3]

Funny when people talk about nardo / nardo-like colors being common when they drive a white/black audi :)

What’s with the nardo hate

Lol, Yea, I know but my GF is busting my balls over the Glut Orange comment I made the other day, and the Kayalami Blue aint happening either. I really dig Audi's white color, but there are so many white cars in Arizona too.

The Daytona Grey is pretty sharp, just gonna keep it basic black and not rock the boat.

Nardo here and still liking it [and getting compliments from people at the gas station]. Although A4 Centaur is right: Mythos black is the only appropriate color for 2022, given that it'll deemphasize that obnoxious fake grill on the rear bumper.

Nardo is still one of the best looking and unique colors out there IMO

[nbjczk71]

Can't order yet. They do not even have pricing yet. I talked to my dealer last week and told him I want to order one as soon as they can.

[allerum]

I was looking around in the special colors. I was thinking Catalunya Red, Dragon Orange, Somoa Orange.

[RMode]

There is no order guide yet for the RS3, so no orders could even be taken

[ZRated_]

I doubt we’ll be able to order until winter or early 2022.

This is just the normal 54 Pre Approved Audi Exclusive colors. I expect it to be an option. https://www.audi.com/en/experience-a.../exterior.html

I like the reds and blues - but I just don't know if I want to pick a color that would attract so much attention.

[itr325]

As much as I hate blue....I've always liked the Aura Blue with the Aluminum trim. The green they launched it in looks damn good.

I totally agree - I just dont think I could actually own one. I frequently meet with clients (or, at least, I did pre-covid, lol) and pulling up in a bright green sports sedan may be an issue.

Or they might say, “Look at this crazy bastard… I’ll take 3.”

You’ll be rich in no time.

haha that would be great. If every client bought 3 homes, I'd be in a porsche 911 turbo S instead of an rs3, though...LOL

Put myself on the waitlist to order the new RS3 when available in Canada. Was thinking about potentially getting a special order color prior, but the more I see the Kyalami Green, the more im inclined to get it.

matches the interior too. If i was gonna get one I think i'd go with the green too.

Merlin Purple

Talked to my dealer(only ever dealt with manage rod dealership), I am first I. List for new one, order should start round Sept/Oct….also asked about exclusive color, he said they have the 50ish “Pre-Approved” colors but you can get any color you want, he also said if you want any color in VAG group it is easier, but they do do PTS…..I have been looking at the Porsche greys, I think I am leaning toward Sport Classic Grey, here are samples for SCG, Chalk, and Fashion grey


Current 2018 rs3 8v

Past:
1988 BMW 535i
1997 Honda Passport
2000 golf GTI mark IV
2004 audi S4 b6
2012 Infinity g37xs-s (hated)
2012 audi s4 b8
2014 Mercedes E550

Pre-approved colors are ~4k, PTS is more like 6-7k. That is a lot for a shade different.

Can they make me an 8v in sonoma green??

Jokes aside thats pretty cool and well worth the expense IMO.

[Potatohead_RS3]

You mean an 8Y?

Someone said it earlier, the pre-approved list is easy to get. Aside from that you have paint-to-sample which needs to be approved. Much more likely to be approved if the color has been used on a VAG product at some point in the past.

[pulpoinspace]

Hehe no it was a joke just not a very good one. My car is nardo but I always wish I had custom ordered sonoma green...

I'd love one in a metallic emerald green, probably my favorite color. It just can't have red calipers with it... I can't do it.

[RMode]

In the US, there is no tier'd pricing for special order colors. It is a fixed price. There are 54 total "normal" Exclusive colors offered, but, each model get's it's own menu of available colors. Not to say they won't make exceptions, as they do, but, the dealer must first get permission from the Exclusive department for a specific color on a specific car. The window for Exclusive orders to be taken tends to be ~June through November, but it can vary a bit per model, as can arrivals.

If my last 4 Audi's weren't grey id be much more inclined to go with Kimora grey or possibly consider paying to have it in Nardo. At this point im pretty well sold on Kyalami Green

The Kyalami looks great. I like it the more I see it, but personally, I don’t know if I could live with it day in and day out lol.

It’ll be Kemora Gray for me, I love the hint of blue in that color.
