It really is a shame that Audi does not offer the TT-RS in North America. To be honest, it's disappointing that Audi has only truly offered us the B7 RS4 (not to mention the previous generation RS6 in very limited numbers). I really wish Audi would broaden the availability of their highest performing versions to their North American clientele but, alas, I guess that's what tuners are for and I'm thankful we have many of them here.

This Audi is almost as powerfull as the previous M5, so what? That doesn't make it as good as that M5, because let's not forget this is basically a vw golf. Al M5's, so far have been sensacional cars. This engine doesn't really do it for me, it is like a diesel, 450Nm at 1,600rpm for the 340 hp version. HOW BORING, just make a 3.0 TDI V diesel with 400 hp, if you want much torque at low revs. What's more the 3.2 v6 version does 9.4L/100 km, this does 9.5L/km. Ok it has 90 hp less, but with 340 hp and some overdrive gearbox I'm sure it would be more fuel efficient.

First off learn to spell.
Second, Yes the peak torque is made at a little after 2600 RPM, however, the curve is relatively flat until 5000 RPM and the Peak horsepower is at 5800 RPM... not quite a diesel is it?
Third, a 400 hp diesel with a similar size to the size of this 5 cylinder would be absurd

typical BMW fan. compare the car described in the article to some BMW with comparable numbers then deride the featured car by saying it is the same as something that it obviously inferior, in this case, a "vw golf." you clearly know nothing about cars, grow the fck up.

yes and if you are comparing, than let's play your game!
did you know that this Audi TT-RS is faster than any M5??? yes and I think that this Audi kicks ass of every BMW on every track!!! how diesel-ish or how torquey-ish sounds this for you?
you have to learn something about cars and motor engineering!!!

No where in the article did it say this was BETTER than an M5. All it said is that it has as much power as the M5. Please read the article more carefully next time.
