Re: Lamborghini Huracan and variants
noone1:RC:noone1:No one cares about RS models outside of Germany. I've never even seen an RS model in the US. There are only 55 RS models for sale on eBay. There are 126 R8s, and the R8s are way more expensive than RS4s were.
RS models aren't cool or popular in many parts of the world. The R8 is.Ah, outside Germany is only the USA. Got it!
I won't even comment on this because car fans allover the world know the Audi RS models very well...
And that's the point: car fans.
Anyone who isn't a car fan just sees an Audi A4, A5, A6, or A7. Being an RS is meaningless to normal people. There is nothing special about it. Maybe it looks a little different comparing front bumpers side by side, but on it's own, it's just a normal Audi model.
The R8 is special. It's instantly recognizable as something special. RS models provide no boost to the brand because there is nothing inherently special about them outside of car forums.
It is special because normal people associate it with money and expensive. Which in many parts of the world is actually a problem.
Not true regarding RS cars, even my wife recognizes the RS models and she couldn't care about cars. When I drove the RS6 for a week, I was actually quite surprised (actually shocked because I thought this car flies under the radar here) how many people recognized the RS6, incl. one of my employees who can't even fuel up her car herself because she doesn't know how.
You are projecting your experience in the US to everyone else in the world it seems.
