Can you get the higher performing Corvettes in a convertible model?
I’ve never driven an Audi, not that lucky.
All 3 GM products I’ve owned were pure gabage.
In a scale between 1 & 10, only one is lucky to get a 3.

this things going to be amazing, even with a little torque steer.. but hopefully RS with make the quattro system rear-biased ( rear 65% front 35% ) like the gen II RS4 to eliminate that trait

That being said, this thing is going to be fast as fawk… all the hardcore Audi guys tell me thier 5-cyl turbo is one of the most badass engines ever built

Good point E46; I really think it will be a bad move if Audi releases this car. It might help the image of the TT a bit, but will hurt the image of the “RS” model more…

soon rs models will become bland like amgs, where they put every amg badges on every damn line up they make including suvs and minivans…rs, amg not exclusive anymore

It doesn’t matter what car it is, who designs it, or if it’s light years more advanced than GM cars, he’ll bash it. The only cars I would ever considering buying from GM is the Cadillac CTS-V and a Corvette Z06 or ZR1, or the new Volt.

This please the 2 people who actually buy these Pieces of crap. The only others who give a sh1t about Audis are service dept.s and tow truck companies. More work for them

I owned an old type TT for 2 years and did test drive the new one. Press said handling is improved, but for me it felt pretty much the same. This car does not handle well and rear wheels get torque only if front slips. Compared to an Evo or even RS4, handling is crap.

Borat, TT stands for Tourist Trophy, a race on the Isle of Man.

jayjc08, agreed. I also wish the TT were a RWD. Quattro AWD however, seems to do it justice.

When NMOFGM talks bad on this car, I want to be the one to remind him it was designed by J Mays :/

An American.

TT was a Russian pistol used during WWII. It’s ammunition was Mauser caliber. I guess it left lasting impressions on Audi staff.

jay; the problem with the old TT was handling. The new vehicle uses a nicely balanced aluminum/steel frame. The problem with this car is that you feel like a pussy saying you own a TT

Lipstick on a pig. No word on price, but I’ll bet the same money will move you into a real driver’s car known as the Corvette. But people have the right to be stupid, and those who choose TT RS over Corvette will be exercising that right.

More horsepower doesn’t mean better handling. The problem with this was handling.

If Audi are breaking their rule and building more than one RS model at a time (TT RS, RS 6) does this mean the RS 5 and RS 4 are coming soon…

I’ll take my TT RS in Solar Orange, thanks.

Nice, am really looking forward to this car, should be able to kick sand in the face of Pontiac Solstice GXP and other American losers like Need More Crap From GM.
