4-spoke vs. 3-spoke steering wheel

I am in the market for a 2013 A7 Prestige. I saw some online that has a 4-spoke and some with a 3-spoke steering wheel. What is the difference?

3 spoke wheel=sports package. The cars drive very different make sure you like the sport package before purchase.

There is an issue with "build" site on audiusa.com so I can not able to see what are included in the sports package and the cost. Can someone let me know?

IIRC, S-Line sport pkg includes sport suspension, paddle shifters, 19" wheels and S-Line body trim. $1000. Also available with 20" wheels.

That is not correct. The sport package did not include the S Line doodads trim. Sport package included 3 spoke wheel, paddle shifters, stiffer shocks, 1/2" lower springs, thicker roll bar. And could be had with 20 or 19 wheels. S Line doodad trim came standard on the a7 prestige, regardless of suspension package. Only in America could audi USA spec a S Line trim without one damn performance improvement - totally Unlike the EU. Audi USAs motto has always been, to paraphrase billy crystal: better to look good than perform well.

Having drove an a7 with and without sport suspension for 200 miles each on mountain roads, I would not even think about the non sport. I cannot imagine getting an A7 with the regular suspension. And I now freely admit I was wrong about my dislike and bashing of 20" wheels, once I threw away the P-zeros, got Conti DW"s and played with tp.
