Default D4 dynamic steering

Does anyone have a d4 with dynamic (4 wheel) steering?

If so, can you offer any opinion or advice on this?

Thanks

This is a 2016 model I have deposit down on.

It has the optional extra of - Dynamic Steering (1N8), £1330 , but, standard on the S8.

It’s in the 2015 a8 pdf brochure online. (P79).

Definitely on there - I’m not making it up.

Maybe it was quite a rare option?

I think you are mixing up dynamic steering and 4 wheel steering

Aaaaah….my mistake. I thought it was 4 wheel steering 🙄. Never mind, anyhoo, it’s got it - seems a bit odd on a LWB?
Anyway, it’s a high spec car, still on the Audi approved website….what drew me in was the assistance pack (with the all important ACC). The solar roof does nothing for me - I’d rather glass I can through.
Haven’t seen the car in the flesh yet….still going thru prep.
I might actually have to sell my d3 4.2tdi now, with its fax machine 😀, to keep wifey happy!
