Default Was in the RS4 pace car today with the European seats... (OMG!)

<center><img src="http://www.allcarnews.com/static/_images/high-quality/essen-2005-part4-motorsport-1712.jpg"></center><p>I had to pick something up today at Champion Audi here in SoFLA, when I see that they have one of the RS4 pace cars. It's sick. Really, REALLY sick. It has the flat-bottomed steering wheel (so very cool), with velour trim and the handbrake is velour as well.

It had the one-piece European race seats (I want those seats in my car), with 4-point harness, that was hooked up in the trunk! The top 2 parts of the harness loop through the seat, into the middle of the back seats and end up hooked up to the trunk. And oddly enough, it had power windows in the rear windows as well, even though all the pics I've seen of the road car show only power windows in the front and crank window in the rear (anyone know if the US version will get crank windows?).

Not like the one in the pic, but it looks exactly the same

Jon.

Velour? Do you mean Alcantara?

Possibly, I was less taken by the steering wheel material as I was by the seats

Default Thats what he means...

And the seats are Recaro Race Buckets, not the Euro Sport Recaros.

You sure? On the pace car? They were one piece seats, completely unlike anything I have seen in pics

The Euro brochure says suede, so it might not be alcantara

Default You'll hate me but, buying a boat instead

Rather have a money pit that is for sure from the inception rather than one that may or may not be.

Default 100% sure...

They are the same seats from the DTM race car. The optional Sport Recaros are not as aggressive as those.
