Wanting to find more info out about an Audi RS model so goto the UK Audi website - which is horrible!

Does anyone know where on their site has RS info as the configurator says "Unfortunately, we can not offer you a vehicle from the selected filters." when I check the RS box, none of the A3, A4 range show the RS versions and Googling things brings up one RS page and when clicking anything, takes me back the bog standard ranges?

Carwow don't have the RS4 either? Are Audi still selling them?

Audi only make one RS model at a time. The RS6 finished production last year and the SQ2 will begin this year, so in effect they are correct in that they cannot offer you a "new" vehicle at this time.

That's not true.

Once upon a time yes but not any more.

RS6, RS5, RS4, RS3, TTRS have all been on sale concurrently of late.

If it's of any help, nor the Italian, nor the German site allow configurations on the RS range at the moment.
So it's not a UK website issue.

Present WLTP victim?

At least the SQ5 was for a while.

Just having a look through the Audi website - doesn't appear that you can spec a petrol A6 Avant - surely that can't be right?

A4 too? And I'm sure I could spec an A4 Allroad a week or 2 ago but that's no longer on there.

Models that aren't WLTP approved are not showing on the site at the moment.

Not sure why the current RS4 & 5 aren't on there as they're good to go.

Yes, suspect it's the same as for VW. Their website says

Can’t find the Golf you’re looking for?
Some of our cars are still being tested under new industry wide standards for fuel consumption and emissions (WLTP type approval). This means you may not be able to find all engines you would expect to see for the Golf.
If you’d like more details on forthcoming models take a look at our pricelist, contact your local retailer or sign up to be notified when more information is available.

Strange. I can only assume there is an issue with various models - i'm sure they must be able to offer more than 2 diesel options as well.

It's all WLTP related, effective this month they've stopped listing the models they currently can't sell
