I've heard it too that AoA product planning is pushing for an A3 Titanium pkg in 08MY.

What you see here is, thus far, one of a kind. An Audi Canada product planner ordered this particular Audi A3 3.2 S-line in Ibis White as an evaluation vehicle to help visualize a proposed ‘Titanium Package’ for the A3 S-line. First introduced last year on the A4 S-line, installation rates of the ‘Titanium Package’ have been so favorable that Audi of America is considering a broadening of the line. A3 S-line models offer the perfect opportunity for expansion.

I stumbled across these pics in the gallery yesterday and I was pissed.I just purchased an Ibis White/Biege interior A3 2.0T S-line before Christmas. The only reason I didn't consider a black interior was the light grey headliner. Stupid Titanium package has a black headliner.

S3, but dark.

Aren't those the same as the RS4's? They look like the same design.

annnnnnnnnnd probably cost way more than I'm willing to spend.Although I dont live far from that car. Maybe they'll part it out when they sell it off...
#10
Check out Hartmann's website. The last I checked they were offering RS4 knockoffs at ~$260 per.
#12
actually, do you know the weight of the RS4's vs the stock 17" S-line wheels?
#14
Funny, it looks like they put the all red US rear lights on as part of the Euro spec pkg?

Agreed that it would probably be too expensive, but do you know which dealer it's at? I wouldn't mind having a look.
Though they may not have it out.

of all of it i just want the black headliner, rearview mirror and such (never had a car with a light plastic rearview mirror, looks odd to me). the only upside to the light headliner is that i think it serves to help disguise the fact the windows are tinted since it looks lighter inside
#19
Would a US dealer be able to spec these wheels on a special ordered car? I suppose that only a US "product planner"
would have that liberty/authority. Do you know for sure?
#20
Maybe, the AoA product planners will decide to offer the Titanium pkg in the U.S.?
#21
Titanium Package is perfect to boost A3 Sportback's dynamic yet classy image.
#22
interesting.... i want a TDI
#23
We have received quote a few inquiries for the Titanium wheels on this car. They are NOT available from the factory...
#24
i want those wheels and grill soo bad

Great look, but Audi should have brought the S3 and gauged that interest.Just bring the real deal and forget about sticking S3 things on the regular A3.
The S-Line packages on the A4 are about $3000, and as far as I remember the fully loaded A3 3.2 was 42K,s o another 2-3 is a whooole lotta dough.
I know that the S3 wouldnt be much cheaper but it is what most on here have been asking for.

Thats a very reasonable price then.
Can you get the titanium package by itself, or do yo uhave to order the s-line first? (I know this would apply to A4s at this time).

For the A4, the Titanium Package is an add-on to the S-line Package, so I assume it will be the same for the A3, but like I said, the über-expensive 3.2 already comes with S-line.

The grille on this car looks to be the same as the standard S-line blackout grille that we have in stock.http://www.ecstuning.com/stage...=2.0T

He was able to get Audi to build everything but the wheels. Those were shipped in separately. And he knows how to pull the strings he needed to pull to get a prototype, so if he had to ship them in.... well.....

Muy Bien, thanks for the reply.
