The Competition package comes as the starting point of these updates. The upgrades include both cosmetic and mechanical. It comes with RS Sports Exhaust System Plus with dual wide-diameter oval-shaped exhaust pipes. Audi claims the resulting exhaust notes are more intense thanks to the Competition package. Also, the package claims to have reduced eight kilograms of sound deadening measure between the engine compartment and interior. This means the cabin occupants of the cars can hear more of the twin-turbo 2.9-litre V6 engine.
