some info here:

Hmm. I haven't found any source at Audi to confirm that yet and the
local motorists club doesn't have anything about that either. Many of
the features listed in your link are already in my 1999 version such as
16" brakes and clear headlights. Usually our OEAMTC is pretty fast in
retesting stiffer versions of cars in the EURO NCAP Crash test and
there's nothing on these either.
But anyway, I'll see with the workshop.
Thanks Peter.

Whatever you buy, have a mechanic take the wheels off and look for cracks
inside. A cracked alloy rim will cost you about $400-$500.
