If Inferi Black is the purplish black on the show cars, I guess the six handbuilt press cars in the recent road tests were finished in Black Magic. They don't look purplish in the test report photos.

I think they are also in Inferi Black. It depend's on the light whether you
see the purplish color. Look at the test foto's on the side of the car and
you can see it's definatly not Black Magic.

I'm 99% sure it's flat black on the recent press shots. Odd as the car isn't going to be available in that colour.

True but the press cars also have the silver grill which the customer cars won't have

 

[ZBOYD]

Im not so sure, looking at the highlights, there is a red tinge in the flares (technical term) i think its the motorshow black colour (inferi)

 

[ZBOYD]

This pic from AutoCar, shows it best as its overexposed. Granted im using a colour calibrated screen here at work, that adjusts to the lighting conditions, but i think thats fairly conclusive.

That is a very 'red' Black

 

[Syphon]

The cars were flat black. I've just had it confirmed from a source I can't divulge. You'll have to trust me.

No DSG. Ho-hum. Either a 2.0 TDi Stylance DSG for me, or another make. I have no idea why it's ended up on such a MOR car in the range. Still, the wife will be happy - more money for shoes!

same old boring bloody colours.whats happened to them?wheres the coppers,blues,kiwi,white.theres a billion colours and they go along the same bloody route again.
ok i like the yellow,but the rest is just bloody boring

 

[ZBOYD]

Boring is what stops you from standing out in my opinion, and id rather blend in than show off, especially as we live in a lawless country, so it seems.

 

[warren_cox]

I'm in agreement with Z. For a short while I wrestled with the idea of going for a mad colour to try and add some impact to a car that was otherwise quite stealthy and had no real 'stand out appeal', but then all you realise your doing is:
1) taking a depreciation hit later when you come to sell
2) advertising it to theiving ASBO gypo's
3) risking that in 3 years it will be the colour that no-one will touch with a barge-pole
Everyone's different (thankfully), so there will be those who will want something loud and proud. These days I can do without the hastle.

 

[WeeJase]

whats wrong with white? audi and vw have some very subtle browns and greys that look awesome.doesn't have to be bland and dull ,but can still blend in.

 

[sportbilly]

No DSG is a dissapointment.

Still not 100% sure I will have one until I have seen it in the flesh, saying that I am 90% sure I probably will

I don't get the no DSG option either.

Supposedly it can change gear faster than is humanly possible, but on the Cupra and S3 its not an option. I've heard an array of dealer excuses, but in Audi Magazine it says that Audi deemed that it did not fit in with the driver focussed approach to these vehicles. So why has the R32 got it???

Easy one Warren DSG/ S tronic cannot handle the torque of these turbo cars and how it is delivered, far more brutal than a 197 golf gti a stronger one is one the cards with uprated torque rating

Time will reveal that the cupra has a de tuned AUDI S3 engine complete with that turbo and trick head and other strengthed running gear

Agree with Jase though what about the new black which was silver and is now white, i do wonder what it would look like any photoshops?

 

[BicketsSEAT]

ok you can correct me if im hallucinating,or completely wrong, but the altea fr is available with the dsg gearbox....which begs the question, how long till its made available for the leon?
i suppose after the launch of the cupra,who knows?!?!

http://www.seatcupra.net//seat_news..._leon_fr_2.0_tfsi_with_dsg_gearshift_475.html

it's available..... all along the FR DSG was going to be launched in November for build

The Super Copa runs DSG, on the S3 engine. However, race car reliability is less of a requirement given that road cars won't be gone over every 30 miles

 

[vern]

It matters not it is only available on the petrol 2.0 tfsi, not the 170 tdi which is also rated @ 258lbft as the new S3 is...... i willl say again it is the torque that is the bug bear with the DSG / S tronic, the 200ps in the golf or altea is o.k as the torque is below the rating of the box

 

[Cupra R]

I've started saving for one now LOL.
