P_G Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Well I cheated to be honest. First one was legit though at the Corner House junction on the Coast Road, 56 plate Daytona Avant (pic to follow). Had a quick toy with him until he got stuck on the outside lane by white van man who decided he would sit there all the way through the Cradlewell because he was turning right onto Jesmond Road 2 miles on! Got to say, he wasn't getting away much, even in sport mode. Then when dropping my car off at Newcastle Audi, 2 RS4 cabriolets, one in red and one in Mugello Blue ( ), both for sale. £66.1K for the Blue one! Oh, and their sprint blue S6 saloon, but I see that lot's so no real biggy. Anyway, I thought these RS4 cabs were exclusive? ! 80 in the country and 2 on the forecourt at my local stealer. I think some salesmen have been telling Porky Pie's prior to delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Pah, I can beat that - how many RS4's in this pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapsuds Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Daz - has Jon still got his RS4, cos it was in the pics in the gallery...... i know he had the cab that was stolen, but thought his old RS that he took on the scumball had gone???? Just noticed his plate, thats all.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 His old RS4 saloon was there - he sold it to a mate. I don't think he's arranged for the plate to be transfered back yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Try shopping on Kings Road for the day. I reckon you might see all 80 cabs on it over 24 hours! That said, DB9's aplenty too so anyone would think they were £9,999! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashleyadam Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 I've seen a few today I wonder how many there actually is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_G Posted September 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 80 supposedly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Maybe initial outlooked UK allocation was 80 but dealers got more orders and Audi have relaeased more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 There were more orders than allocation so maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashleyadam Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 I'm sure they would have released more makes sense if there selling then why not. I dont think they've designed car not to be sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_G Posted September 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Agreed but I thought it was limited because that was all they could produce. Then again that was probably a guestimate when said, I suppose they could have made more than they expected to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigR Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Saw a venetian violet RS4 Avant this afternoon,pulled out behind me at a roundabout in Aberdeen, if you read this it looks superb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brabus Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 They're definitely getting common here too - walking to work I spotted a new RS4 Avant (nice) and no less than 3 sedan's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 In terms of how many units to sell, there's a complex calculation to be made that takes into account production capacity, immediate demand, ongoing demand, future resale values and some less tangible things like exclusivity of the model.

Daz Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 According to one of the reputable guys on RS246 "UK Build allocation is 300 right hand drive saloons and 58 Avants, and 25 cabrios this year." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
