Default Florett Silver Matte S8 Plus

Air suspension is still in transport mode, hence the monster truck stance. Has every option except rear seat entertainment. Pretty much identical to the one Audi shows in the press images of the S8 Plus.

Seems odd to have matt paint and high gloss black trim around the windows. I saw one on the floor at a KY Audi dealer and didn't think it blended too well

Agree. Don't understand the appeal of matte paint

I love the look of these matte finishes..... I can't imagine how hard it would be to maintain.

You get a scratch in a gloss finish, you just buff it out. I'm guessing it's not that simple with the matte look.

Agreed.

To me it looks like they had the car repainted (accident) at a cheap paint shop.

Correct, matte paint cannot be buffed. It would be best to put matte paint protection film on it.

Here is the car at normal ride height now in the Audi Sport corner. And the RS 7 all blacked out.
