I know the TT is a woman's car...USUALLY, i can honestly claim i would not be ashamed to drive the coupe in Glau Orange with black leather and orange stitching. 2.5L 5 banger turbo with audi technology should be good for around 400hp with less than 1500$ in mods straight out of the box. Either the orange or white, i must say that brillian audi white is growing on me, especially with amaretto leather...mmm mmm goood

Oh well, I thought that the TT is the favourite choice of young and greedy german estate agents. And honestly: I see more guys driving around in a TT than women. But this is just my impression.

Actiually, more women drive it than men. You can see from the turtle shape that it is a woman's car. This is clearly not a sports car. From what I see here in the UK, most husbands buy their wives the TT and the husband normally drives an E class, 5 Series or even 3 Series. It's interesting that most men in this sector drives the Z4 - which is afterall, regarded more highly than the TT

What happened to the TT Speedster that was due to go into production earlier this year?

i think that was only intended to go to the Middle East in small numbers as a marketing ploy

Gee that's more power than in some V8s. Well done Audi.

Now this should have a longitudinally mounted engine with a real 4WD and it would be somehow interesting, from the specs. Still looks like a hamster with full cheeks...

An RS that only does 5 seconds... I was hoping the figures would blow the SLK55 out of the water. Guess not

In the press release it states "The sprint from zero to 100 km / h is a matter of significantly less than five seconds" and judging by tests of the TTS which hasa claimed manufaturers 0-100km/h of 5.2s, I would expect the TT-RS with 70 extra hp to be hitting 60mph in 4.5s or less.

It's amazing how in today's worl, people still care about the 0-100 sprint. I'd be more concerned about fuel efficiency and efficient techno.

Yes. I'm interested as to see what a base TTRS would cost.

Love what they're doing with that wheel design, not the RS4's but the 5 spoke with outer matt silver running into the anthracite spokes themselves. Class.

'Distinguishing the TT RS on the outside (besides the badge, of course) over the 272 hp TT S model are the larger front air vents, twin-spoked alloy wheels, a fixed wing at the back and a new rear diffuser.' I see on the 5 spoke (silver, anthracite) the 'RS' label on the caliper.
