Tt rs

[ULP]

It's been a while but at last Audi have come up with a new car I actually like - the TT RS.

I'm not a TT fan as such, but when Audi start producing a turbocharged 5-pot my loins stir a little. Not sure of the on-sale date as Audi have previously comitted to only having one RS car on sale at any time. When the RS6 is done in the next 6-9 months, I understand the RS5 is next for about 9 months meaning the TT RS will not be around for another 15-18 months yet. Prices are estimated to be £40K for this 2.5 20v 5-pot turbo war-horse with 350bhp, so I'd better get saving up.

Shame we can't have the TT S with a N/A version of this engine in the low £30's rather than a turbo 4-pot.

This footage shows that it appears to be almost production-ready. You'll need sound, otherwise it just looks like a marketing executive with a tuned-to-death TT on the move:

Hubba Hubba.

Yeah, having owned an S2 for 5 years, there's something you just can't get over with the sound of a turbo Inline 5 - simply amazing noise. I'll never be able to afford one of these TTRS beasties, but it looks to be a real beauty!

By coincidence, I saw a TTS for the first time last night, looks very nice indeed. I also saw the new RS6 on the road a few weeks back, what a monster - the ceramic brakes looked big enough to stop an aircraft!
