Default Standard Steering Wheel

I've been to a photo gallery that shows 2 types of steering wheels in the RS4 - a standard round one and then one that is flattened out at the bottom which looks really cool. Not sure if any one has seen photo of this steering wheel - see link below. Which one comes with the car? if not the second - is it an option?

Thanks.

Default Guys, looks like he's new around here...

Ranger,

The US version of the RS4 comes with the round wheel while the European version comes with the cool flat-bottomed wheel. The Euro wheel cannot be ordered from Audi in the US, but there are a couple of companies selling the Euro wheel + new airbag that you can install.

The wheel is roughly $600, and the airbag is about another $600.

I guess a question like that does deserve some good comebacks. I appreciate the feedback.

Thanks - you always learn something new everyday.
