IMHO that makes it not a "proper" RS then.

The build quality of my RS4 is noticeably better than by previous S4s, if the RS5 is not going to be built by Quattro but on the "normal" production line then it will be built to the same standards as "normal" Audis - which are good but not as good as Quattro.

If you've been inside the new TT RS, you'll see that the materials and build quality is not near the RS4's. It was nothing special compared to the usual TT, and that's why I think the TTRS is not Quattro built either. But that I don't know for sure as I know about the RS5.

Don't like the sound of all this, in terms of the watering down of the RS brand, especially if the TTRS sells in big numbers.

I agree, don't you think were driving a future classic?

I do.
