Audi A3 Black Edition

First of all, I’m pretty sure this has nothing to do with Barack Obama becoming the US President. The new Audi A3 Black Edition is available in all three Audi A3 bodytypes, namely the 3-door, the 5-door Spotback and the Audi A3 Cabriolet. Available powertrain options are the 1.8 liter and 2.0 liter TFSI engines, and two different 2.0 TDI engines.

The A3 Black Edition is based on the S-Line trim level and features a de-chromed front grille, black surrounds for the roll bars and shoulderline for the Cabriolet, 18 inch S-line alloy wheels with a dark titanium finish, privacy glass from the B-pillar to the back, and also Brilliant Black paint. If you want, Phantom Black is also available at extra cost. Audi is even allowing you to choose a non-black premium colour if you pay more – Misano Red and Monza Silver. But what’s the point of a Black Edition car when it’s no black?

Even on the inside, the black theme carries on. The interior features high gloss Piano black inlays, and the Cabriolet version is specced with a black acoustic hood.

    Beg to differ, but the current A4 is priced at RM238K. I think that is reasonable with all the technologies packaged in, and in the Msian market.
    If you are referring to the quattro (4 WD) version, it is reasonably priced at RM268K.
    Audi car is not only nice to look at, its built quality is premium too, and it drives great. Have a test drive in one, then comment.

    too much black la. a little chrome here and there adds some style and finese.

    but it’s an audi, so whatever they do, it’s good.

    vorsprung durch technik.

    Well, the RS4 gun metal rims looks cool indeed.
    I doubt that this model will make it to the shores of Msia. If there is one, most probably some grey imports or a dozen or so from the main distributor.
