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.
