you can keep the Ceramic brakes (I don't track) and the Carbon fibre inlays, and would add the Black Optic Pack at $850, Metallic Paint at $800, and optional wheels at $400. I might go with the sport seats for me or the $0 electric seats for the family, also not sure the trade-off with the RS fixed Suspension. Is the Magnetic Suspension the same as my 2015 S3 or substantially retuned?
fun questions.

That amount of money for ceramic brakes is insane. Granted I know carbon ceramic brake packages on Porsche, etc are astronomically priced. I'm with tjacoby, I wouldn't be tracking a RS3 either. I'm close to 400 HP in my modded S3 and the S3 brakes are doing a fine job for my daily driving and spirited driving when possible. The black optic package looks really nice on a red RS3 from Google images. I'd definitely go that route. Magnetic ride control is nice but I leave my setting on dynamic all the time. If the RS3 has a firm base suspension, mag ride wouldn't be necessary for me.
Wonder if I should tell the wife that I put myself on a waiting list for the RS3? LOL

Maybe that will make you place your order than so here's the order guide...
Prices are in CDN...
Base: 62,900$
1,750$ Audi RS fixed suspension (replaces the magnetic suspension), carbon fiber engine cover, 280km/h top speed limiter
850$ Exterior mirror in black, front lip black, window surrounds black, rear lip spoiler black
1,400$ Active lane assist, adaptive cruise, pre-sense front, high-beam assist
5,800$ Ceramic brakes
900$ Carbon fiber inlays
850$ Sport Exhaust system with black tips
400$ Red calliper
A few notes:
- Still manual adjusting front seats but power lumbar
- No heated stearing
And i'm wondering what the "Sport exhaust system with black tips" is... Does it changes the sound or it's just the "already the sport exhaust" but with black tips?
Who's in?

So that $62,900 is the Technik version, ie already fairly loaded? Or is there even a Progressiv version available?
I would forget the brakes in a heartbeat, and the lane assist stuff, so full price is not bad. Certainly make someone who was considering a fully loaded S3 run some numbers.

Sport seats are included with the base price, with the electric seats available at $0.
Wheel upgrades are $400.
There is no Progressive option in Canada, just the base with all the Tecknik stuff included for the $62.9. The base included folding power mirrors, don't think the S3 does that this model year.
I'm undecided on the Sport Seats and Fixed Sport Suspension. My dealer says my wife won't hate me for them, but...

No it is never a straight conversion like that with vehicles. Looking at a S3 in the US vs Cda, prob only about $5k diff. So extend that out a bit on the higher price point of the RS3..only guessing, but $62,900 Cdn prob becomes $56,000 USD.
