Agreed. A wee bit of a shame however, that Audi (and BM) seem to be shying away from high revving N/A.P_G wrote:It may feel quick but when you get passed by a N/A car that has serious power in it that feeling will soon go.

I beg to differ mate. My RS4's no barge!!A20LEE wrote:The problem with RS4/RS6's is there big barges and they feel it to drive. I'd certainly be interested in a TTRS if it has the RS straight line speed and handles too.

Sorry to say this guys but my girl friend has an '08 3.2 TT Roadster and dare I say it, she IS a hairdresser!
She did consider waiting for the TTRS but at the time the salesman could only indicate that the starting price would be circa £44k. With all the necessary toys you'd be looking at £50k+.
It does seem a bit odd that Audi would make a TTRS because IMHO the market for this car isn't normally your 'petrol-head, tyre smoking' enthusiast (see my opening statement!) It’s no surprise to me that they only figure on selling 60 Roadsters this year.
All in all, I think its an interesting car with the old 5 cylinder engine back in the frame, good looking and probably worthy of the RS badge but I think you be hard pushed to find any current owners of RS4’s willing to change but I don’t think that was ever Audi’s intention.
I think that’s what they call my tuppenceworth.

As said further down this thread Paul, the RS marque is not just about speed & handling, it's the fact to date RS has always meant seen as an Ubber Wagon by being able to tick all the performance/handling boxes in a far more understated fashion that for instance Porsche, but has a huge practical advantage.Scotty wrote:Why Paul? If it is as fast as an RS and handles like an RS then why shouldn't it be badged on?W8PMC wrote:TBH i did have a good look last week & they do look good, but having owned a couple of TT's i can't help but feel Quattro GMBH have devalued slightly by badging the TT with RS. OK for the 4 & 6, but a TT.
RS = everday car that can keep up with cars way out of it's league, but can do it without shouting about it. The TT-RS although probably a very capable car does smack of a TT that's driven through the front window of Halfords for some bolt ons along with a power uplift. I recall somewhere that the chassis is unchanged from a regular TT & the suspension is also basically stock TT.
I guess it's all about perception & i will defo be driving the TT-RS either later this week or when i get back off holiday as it does interest me.
