The matte look: new colors for Audi TT, TTS, TT RS, Audi Q3, and RS Q3

In addition to Python Yellow for the TT RS and the exclusive Dew Silver for the RS Q3, Daytona Gray and Florett Silver complement the new matte-finish color palette, which Audi now offers for other models besides its top-of-the-line sports vehicles. Even TT and Q3 series base models are now available in these new matte colors.

The demand for dramatic car paint finishes is on the rise – individuality, sportiness, and value are being coveted more and more. A matte finish highlights the silhouette of a vehicle, brings its sublime design and sporty elegance to the forefront, and gives the vehicle an extra special note. “Design remains the top reason for purchasing an Audi. And the color of the vehicle is extremely important, as it’s an expression of a driver’s personality,” says Susan Nolte, responsible for exterior colors within the Product Marketing Special Equipment team at Audi. However, before a new exterior color can be ordered for an Audi, a number of different processes have to have taken place.

How does Audi determine colors and variations of paint?

Coming up with color suggestions for a new model is the job of the Color & Trim team of Audi Design and the Product Marketing team, who work in close collaboration. The first step is for the Design colleagues to work out new colors based on trends that are tracked by the design studios in Ingolstadt, Beijing, and Malibu. Product Marketing then ensures that Audi customers can choose from a wide array of colors. Finally, appropriate names are selected for the offer on hand.

What role do color descriptions play?

Another key aspect in the acceptance of the colors offered by Audi is what the names communicate. “What is particularly important here is that the names given to the colors describe each color as precisely as possible. The first part of the name is the creative element, but it also needs to evoke a connection with the color,” explains Nolte. Audi often uses terms inspired by the world of geography and from flora and fauna. Racetracks also play a role in naming colors for sporty models. Some colors are used across all models while others are used for specific models. Audi offers up to a dozen different color choices for any given model. And there are also special colors for RS models.

Muted shades dominate the color game

Three out of four customers who purchase new vehicles in Germany currently prefer the colors white, black, or gray/silver. Even at Audi, these rank as the most popular colors, followed by blue – the chromatic color of choice, with a share of around ten percent. There is a burgeoning demand for matte finishes. “Matte is a paint finish that is particularly popular with sporty models; RS vehicles, for example, are often ordered in eye-catching, dramatic colors,” says Nolte. There are also colors with crystal effects, such as Sebring Black. Here, glass flakes combined with metallic effects create additional glitter dots in the paint. Modern paints shimmer differently depending on the sunlight and change the hue depending, among other things, on the perspective and the color of the sunlight.

How the vehicle gets a matte finish

Modern paints are technically complex. In addition to the phosphate layer, the paint finish – with cathodic dip coating (CDP), filler, base coat, and clear coat – consists of five thin layers that together are no thicker than one-tenth of a millimeter. That’s about equivalent to the thickness of a strand of human hair. To meet the quality requirements of daily use in the long run, the paints undergo various short- and long-term tests, including stone-chip resistance and weathering tests. As part of the approval process, Audi also checks things such as the adhesion and corrosion resistance of the paint. The entire process of design, selection, technical implementation, and approval of the colors can take anywhere between three to five years. “Top-notch quality needs time, which is why, figuratively speaking, we think about tomorrow yesterday,” says Nolte. For the first time, matte exterior colors are possible for the Audi TT and Audi Q3 series manufactured in Győr. The lacquering process is carried out in parallel to the mass production of vehicles at the plant in Hungary. The primer, filler, and color coats are followed by the clear matte coat, which contains matting agents in the form of silicate particles. This is applied directly to the base coat. The thickness of its layers ranges between 40 to 50 micrometers, or in other words, 40 to 50 thousandths of a millimeter, as with conventional clear coats. The matting agents lend the surface its characteristic matte finish. With its surface structure, matte paint reflects light diffusely instead of directionally, thus achieving the matte look. Once the body is painted, automated and manual measurements and quality checks follow – including in the light tunnel.

Where the car gets its color: the paint shop in Győr

In the 43,000-square-meter paint shop in Győr, rigorous preparation preceded the series-production use of the matte paint: following a test coat, the painted surface was examined in a lab test phase. To implement the new technology, the employees in these areas set up the production infrastructure by aligning the lines from the paint supply rooms with the robot room and adjusting the robots. The ten paint robots at the plant were programmed and tested according to the special requirements of the matte-lacquering process.

Matte finishes are now available for all Győr-manufactured models of the Audi TT, TTS, TT RS Coupé and Roadster, as well as the Audi Q3, Audi RS Q3, and its Sportback versions. The mass production of the TT RS will begin with the matte finish in Daytona Gray, Florett Silver, and Python Yellow. Instead of Python Yellow, the Audi RS Q3 will now come in Dew Silver, a color used exclusively for the Q3.

A clear course: Audi is increasing investments in electromobility

This year, Audi doubled its product portfolio of purely electric models. With the world premiere of the Audi e-tron GT at the start of the year and the Audi Q4 e-tron in the spring, 2021 was characterized entirely by implementation of the roadmap. Furthermore, with its investment planning for the next five years, Audi is accelerating the transition toward becoming a provider of networked and sustainable premium mobility. In particular, advance payments for future vehicle projects are being increased once again, with a sum total of about €37 billion. The premium manufacturer is earmarking about €18 billion for electrification and hybridization alone and thereby emphasizing its clear commitment to electromobility.

From 2033 on, the future of the Audi brand will be fully electric. The company is continuing to pick up speed along the way: Audi doubled the number of fully electric models in its range in 2021. That means that Audi is putting more electric cars than combustion engines on the market in the current year. With the new models Audi e-tron GT quattro, Audi RS e-tron GT, and the first fully electric models in the compact segment, the Audi Q4 e-tron and Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron, the electric portfolio has grown by four additional models. By 2025, the company aims to have more than 20 fully electric models in its lineup.

Audi is accelerating expansion of its charging infrastructure

With the growing number of electric models, the requirements for the charging infrastructure will also grow. The VW Group is expanding its infrastructure with strong partnerships worldwide. In Nuremberg, Audi is now road testing an urban premium charging concept: the Audi charging hub is addressed to customers without charging options at home and geared toward managing possible future peak demand. The Audi charging hub opens for customers on December 23. The pilot location offers reservable high-power charging (HPC) stations and a directly adjoining lounge area that is available as a premium place to pass the time. Used lithium ion batteries function as energy storage systems, what are known as second-life batteries taken from dismantled development vehicles. Photovoltaic modules on the roof provide additional green energy.

With the Audi charging hub, an additional e-tron Charging Service is going on line. Audi’s own charging service is currently available with about 290.000 charging points in 26 European countries.

For that, the Audi Charging Service turns to IONITY, the largest open high-power charging (HPC) network in Europe. The Volkswagen Group, along with Audi and Porsche, is a founding member of IONITY and has been a joint venture partner from the very beginning. IONITY is investing €700 million in its fast-charging network for electric vehicles in 24 countries. By 2025, the number of high-performance 350 kW charging points will increase from 1,500 currently to about 7,000.

An attractive fast-charging network is a central component of the comprehensive ecosystem that Audi is offering with respect to electric and automatically driven cars and will expand even further in the future.

“Vorsprung 2030”: leading sustainably, socially, and technologically

“The current round of planning reflects our accelerated future trajectory. Based on this investment planning, the focus of our advance payments until 2026 is quite clearly on consistently implementing the roadmap with a comprehensive product offensive of fully and partially electric models,” says Jürgen Rittersberger, Member of the Board of Management for Finance and Legal Affairs. Between 2022 and 2026, the Audi Group is planning research and development as well as investments in property totaling about €37 billion. Consequently, advance payments will increase, particularly for future vehicle projects. The premium manufacturer is earmarking about €18 billion for electrification and hybridization alone and thereby emphasizing a clear commitment to electromobility.

With the corporate “Vorsprung 2030” strategy, Audi has a clear roadmap to lead the way sustainably, socially, and technologically by 2030. “‘Vorsprung 2030’ will ensure that Audi remains viable into the future,” says Audi CEO Markus Duesmann. “The rate of change in our society is rapidly increasing. For that reason, we are accelerating our transformation to climate-neutral mobility. For us, a sustainable business model is quite clearly a matter of approach and responsibility.”Starting in 2026, Audi will only launch new models that are fully electric on the global market. The company will gradually phase out production of its internal combustion engines by 2033. With a clear decision as the result of an intensive strategy process, Audi aspires to continue to grow profitably. Based on market forecasts and its own attractive model portfolio, the company will ship three million cars per year from 2030. With increasing Group synergies, Audi is additionally aiming for a sustainable operating return on sales of more than 11 percent over the long term.

We've been selling Audi's before 'Vorsprung durch Technik' was invented!

When Hans Bauer returned from his Christmas holidays at the start of 1971 to work in the advertising department of Audi NSU (as Audi was then known), he had some thinking to do. Bauer had to come up with an advertising slogan to encapsulate the vast array of advanced technology on offer to Audi customers: rotary and piston engines, air- and water-cooled engines, front- and rear-wheel drive...

Bauer’s brainstorming solution was ‘Vorsprung durch Technik’, and the slogan first appeared in a double-page Audi NSU advertisement in January 1971. In the early 1970s, Audi often used the term in conjunction with its flagship model, the Ro 80, which was built in Neckarsulm, West Germany.

At first, though, the term was not used consistently. Audi’s advertising execs also toyed with variations such as ‘Audi — Ein schönes Stück Technik’, which translates as ‘Audi — A Beautiful Piece of Technology’. However, Vorsprung durch Technik proved to be the slogan with staying power, and became famous around the world after being spotted in Germany by Sir John Hegarty (pictured below, and the H in Audi’s UK-based advertising agency BBH) in 1982.

‘I had gone to the Audi factory in Ingolstadt, and I saw a very old faded poster on the wall that someone had left up there,’ Hegarty told The Guardian newspaper. ‘I saw this line “Vorsprung durch Technik”. They said that it was an old advertising line, but “we don’t use it any more”. And it stuck in my brain.’

The phrase was made famous in the UK by a series of memorable television ads produced by BBH, usually accompanied by the voice of British actor Geoffrey Palmer drawling ‘Vorsprung durch Technik, as they say in Germany’ at the end. In motorsport, the slogan has inspired Audi Sport to victory on the world’s rally stages, at the Le Mans 24 Hours and now in electric Formula E racing.

Vorsprung durch Technik perfectly encapsulated the endless advance in ground-breaking new technologies made by Audi. Innovations such as quattro all-wheel drive, TFSI turbocharged petrol engines, TDI turbodiesel engines, laser lights, digital dashboards and all-electric e-tron drive, to name but a few, all powered the four rings to new heights.

But, as any Audi engineer will tell you, it’s not where Vorsprung durch Technik has taken Audi and its customers over the past half-century that matters. It’s where it will take them in the future, with the drive towards zero-emission mobility, that really counts.

While the phrase means ‘progress through technology’, Hegarty and Audi chose to use the original, untranslated German in the UK – a very bold move. ‘It was the first time that a foreign phrase had captured the public’s imagination in that way,’ recalled Hegarty. ‘But it’s amazing how it took off and how it became a part of British culture.’

Jay Zaccarini recently purchased an Audi A3 S-Line from us, and has been kind enough to write a review of his experiences, and we hope you also enjoy his impressions of the car.

I've had the new Audi A3 in S-Line trim for just over 4 months now, if I had to describe it in three words it would be: Comfortable , Dynamic and technologically advanced. This picture was took down at Kirkstone Pass in the Lake District, I think it really shows off the new A3's strong lines and dynamic styling; from the huge honeycomb grill to the dagger like headlight design giving it a menacing look on the road.

The most impressive thing I find about the car is the shear amount of technology on-board, I was happy to hear the virtual cockpit comes as standard with satellite navigation and the 10.1" touch screen too! Something none of the competitors offer as standard. As well as having the peace of mind of the safety features that include Audi Pre-sense and Lane Assist.

The car really comes into its own at night though with the added ambient light package I went for, it's like having your own rave in the car with a huge range of different colours to choose from, and if I would say anything it's to add that option on!

The drive of the new A3 I find is a comfortable refined one, with the leather seats being super supportive. The S-line suspension is surprisingly forgiving and comfortable on Barrows broken roads, even with the dynamic 18" alloys that came with the car.

All in all I'm really impressed with the new A3, if you're after a dynamic looking car with a luxurious interior and plenty of standard tech, I couldn't recommend it more!

26th October 2020

RS6 fan and friend of Lake District Audi, Ian Malley recently updated his beloved RS6 Avant finished in Exclusive Merlin Purple for a 2020 Sebring Black model. Ian has been kind enough to write a review of his first 'big trip' which makes a great read, we hope you enjoy Ian's early impressions of the car too.

Well we’ve had our Sebring Black RS6 for just over 6 months now, having exchanged our beloved Merlin Purple RS6 Performance for it in mid-March, 3 days before Lock-Down and it’s got a hard act to follow. Lock-Down and working from home with the occasional visits to the office and odd days out, has meant that I’ve not really had the opportunity to drive the car as much as I would have liked, however, in early October this was about to change. We had booked a week’s holiday in a secluded cottage in Scotland, in Sheriffmuir, which is in the moorlands just outside Dunblane.

Saturday 3rd October arrived, the RS6 was loaded up with a week’s worth of food, drink, clothes and walking gear along with the hound and my wife, with still plenty of room to spare. We set off on our 220 mile drive from our home in Lytham St-Annes to Scotland, being chased up the M6 and A74 by the remnants of Storm Aidan, so torrential rain, standing water and strong gusty winds, making a good start to our holiday. The RS6 was totally unphased by the weather, the ride and cabin environment, seem even more refined than our previous RS6 and with the extensive technology in the cabin be it the voice controlled Sat Nav or my essential Head Up Display (now with a full suite of driver information when in RS mode) making the drive, despite the weather conditions, that much more relaxing.

Once Sunday dawned, the weather improved and we were able to start to enjoy driving the car on the quieter A/B roads around the Dunblane and Trossachs area. A couple of things that stand out immediately when driving on these types of roads are that this model of RS6 delights in cornering, with it’s rear wheel steering and suspension setup, it corners eagerly and flatly, certainly not feeling like a 2000+kg car. It also picks up quicker than our previous RS6, due to the significant increase In torque, it is eager to pull out of the corners and bends and sprint down the straights, though the 10 Pot piston brakes are more than up to the job of stopping it quickly.

Any downsides to this RS6 ? not really, the only things I would mention are that it has an awful lot of technology in it and to use it intuitively you need to spend time driving the car. I wouldn’t recommend it if you are the shy and retiring sort of person, it gets a lot of attention, even more so than our previous Merlin Purple RS6. We arrived back at a car park in Callander after a walk to find a family looking at the car and taking photos of it, my wife embarrassed by this whispered to me, “walk past it and pretend it’s not ours”, too late I’d already pressed unlock on the remote key fob, which of course set the LED lights animation going. I’m starting to get use to cars spending an extra few minutes in my rear quarter position when overtaking us on the motorway as they look at the car, with us quite often getting the thumbs up when they go past.

Finally the sound of the engine does appear more subdued than our previous RS6 but I think this is down to the better sound insulated cabin. In fact when I was talking to a neighbour the other week and I mentioned that the engine seemed quieter, his response was “ it’s different, more of a baritone rumble, though I’m not sure what it’s doing to my foundations” ( said in a positive way, I think).

My overall verdict on this model of RS6 to date, is that Audi has moved the ‘game’ on again, lifting this RS6 into a higher league compared to the previous model, being more refined, having greater drive ability/accessible performance and I just love the looks, though admittedly they are not for everyone.
