Auto Express is like the Daily Star of automotive publications - as if Audi would drive round in a chav wagon like that

Would affect other models like the s4.The head of audi said there would only ever be rs4's and rs6's.

That is totally true BUT Audi have been talking up a RS TT, whether thats just to add image to the new TT (which i think looks good) i dont know...

Mentioned somewhere else on here, I saw a new S3 on the road with Mk2 TT passing my house a few weeks ago.

They test the suspension settings in the UK towards the end of development cycle based at Bentley, Crewe.

S3 looked nice, not too different from the current S-Line, but had a wider track and therefore wheels arches and seemed lower to me.

Only got a quick look at it as I was having to check out both cars, TT was yuk.

Nice car.

well to add my two pennies worth, AUDI will make what ever they can to make money! supply and demand...... and based on RS4 sales i think there is a place for an RS3....

Dare I say that the latest Autoexpress rumours suggest that it will be a 240PS 2.0T FSI engine, and launched in the UK before the end of the year...
