Hi guys,

I know a few of us on here have one of these on order, but has anyone taken delivery yet?
I'm keen to see some pics of one in the flesh & I can't wait for mine in March!!!

I gather there is a bit of a question about a few things like whether it will have the square exhaust from the "red edition", but nobody (including the dealer) seems to know!! Any ideas?

Cheers,

Rich Now

the black replaces 3 models ,nobody really knows what its like as there are no real pictures of it,,,we wanted out of the q7 asap and bought unseen,,,,no real problem in that as we knew what it looked like
what i find unbelievable is the people holding off to buy a car without knowing what shape/spec/price or colour it could be 2013.5 rrs black edition in white here now

Hi overfinchred.....I know all the essential things, I'm not that mad!!!!

There were just a few minor things that the dealer didn't know before I ordered it, as it hadn't been officially announced by LR then.The exhaust was the only question for me.....but that can be retrofitted anyway I suppose! Now

The tailpipes you mention are part of the Exterior Design Pack (bodykit) which is only standard on the Autibiography (not Red or Black).

Not sure why you're dealer has not educated him/herself as the exact info has been available to the network since announcement.

Easiest way to explain is that all RRS models have been consolidated into one which is based on the HSE with a few nice options (especially the choice of wheels and timed climate (not remote park heating) to name just two).

I'd go back to the dealer and ask for a run through which he should be able to do if he's studied the product information since you ordered your car.

the black has NOT been out for a few months or more,,,,,if you dont have anything constructive to say about it then say nothing at all,,there is none on the road,,until tomorrow
whilst i'm sure everyone(myself inc) appreciate your input on all postings,your starting to sound like a broken record with your negative comments about the black
buyers are genuinely excited about their new car,leave us to it ,,,as clearly you know nothing about it 2013.5 rrs black edition in white here now
