Paul Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 thinks back to my Ferrari red S3. what a car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3geezer Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 I've seen newer S3s in the facelift version but it looks almost ornagey red but that RED looks great - what was its real name? ......or was it ferrari red? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Brillaint red is ther orangy one. The one in the Vid looks like Misano. There was only <u>one</u> Ferrari Rosso Corsa Red S3 ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3geezer Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 I see - that was a special one (yours?) That Misano red one looks well nice - why do I never see any???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Yes the ferrari red one was mine. A very special order. The pic above was taken on arrival in the UK from Germany. So about as new as you can get. One off painted at Audi factory, with permission and paint supplied by Ferrari. Some 31 litres I was told at the time. Its still in the TSN family. Its now on its third owner, all of which still active forum members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Misano was a special order colour from the RS4. It was a £1500 option IIRC. there are quite a few about. Its just the S3 is quite a rare sight, im lucky if i see one once a month on my usual travels in any colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3geezer Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 You got ferrari paint just for your car!!!! That looks the mutts nutts. Why did you sell it!!???? How did you get Audi to paint a car for you in that colour if you don't mind me asking?? Did you have to pay a premium? Also, how the heck would you get anything reprayed on it had it been needed....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3geezer Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 1500 - it is so worth it! What a clour. Your ferrari one is even nicer! If I was clarkson I would put it in the fridge with the DB9.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 In the Fridge .... Cool Yes it was really a one off. Rosso Corsa red off the 360 Modena. A good friend who ordered it (and i bought it off before it was registered/delivered), had a German Audi dealer friend with high contacts. It did cost a premium! I cant recall exactly, but minimum special order paint cost of £1500+ but the Euro exchange was also very good back then. Im told Audi wont/dont do one offs any more. Has to be an Audi colour. I sold it after doing 18K miles because this S3, one of the last, fully loaded with a few more choice options come up through the same friend. Audi had stopped taking orders for the S3 March 2003. I bought this one, already built May 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3geezer Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Well the Misano red is also spanking sexy - no wonder you don't see many of them (£1500 option). I have a black S3 (which when cleaned) looks gorgeous, but I think Misano Red wins hands down. Now I'm on the prowl for a misano red S3.......

Paul Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 [ QUOTE ] Also, how the heck would you get anything reprayed on it had it been needed....? [/ QUOTE ] I ordered touch up paint from Ferrari! A wallet busting £12 I didnt tell them till after it was for my Audi. It had a paint code just the same as any other car, just had a bit more history. There allegedly was something like 12 different shades of Rosso Corsa at the time. Mine was off the 360 Modena.

Mo-S3 Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Fantastic driving and a tip of the hat to the S3's handling but it does look as though they are snow tyres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 I assumed snow tyres, but still, great skill giving it the beans, and keeping it in check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 might not have ESP. by my reconing, the xenon beams were on the outside of the lamp, with the main beam flash at the start being on the inside,nearest the grill *, so its a pre facelift 2 piece (headlight/indicator) S3 with facelift rear lights retro fitted. *compared to my sig.
