RecombuCars, finally a TTRS video that reclines the seats back! That's one of the reasons the Porsche Cayman turns me off (although it's a beauty). I do enjoy reclining my seat back and taking a nice siesta during lunchtime. I also like how both the Cayman and TTRS are compact not huge like most cars in the U.S. especially the Corvette and Porsche 911.

Are you desperately trying to emulate Jeremy Clarkson? You’ve got talent - tread your own path!

the Audi TT 3.2 Vr6 was the baby R8. The TTRS 400 cv is just almost like the R8 4.2.

I've always thought these cars were sweet, and now this is giving me the difficult choice between this or 370z nismo

Great video. Beautiful car. The exhaust note is incredible.

I think for this class of cars it's less so about the performance and more so about the feeling though. With the 981 Cayman still somewhat buyable (if u can find one), TT still feels a little beaten. the sensation of nimbleness with the RWD and mid engine, and the porsche howl just wins it over this (of course this is considering that you do not care about highest speed per dollar value). Of course performance needs to exist, but as long as it's "enough" over the average joe cars, it becomes more so on the sensation of fun. Just don't feel like any torque vec or diff can replace mid engine RWD feeling of intensity or a naturally aspirated high revving engine's sound and air intakes.

Ordered mine... can't wait. Like your presentation style! Good review!

Smart review. I'm not an Audi guy but was shown the car at a recent visit to the dealer when looking for a Cayman S. At the price of the TT-RS the new 718 Cayman S looks terrible and the TT-RS looks like the clear winner. The 5-cylinder sound is truly outstanding. I just wonder how easy it is to tune out any remaining understeer, and if the 4wd system is capable to send enough torque to the rear wheels ( I believe it can only do 50%). Still, an impressive car not just for Audi fans.

Very interesting. I'd written the TT off years ago. Nice to see they finally gave it some balls. It's gonna be really hard to escape the hairdresser image though....

The beast has arrived!! Got the TTS with the Meistershaft stainless steel sports exhaust. 0-60mph in 4.9 second's :)

Give it a Stage 1 remap (no hardware) and it will do 190+ mph

Love this car!

Looked at one but the price put me off as well as the waiting list so went with an M2 which I got from a cancelled order from some else, around £10K less

Awesome car 😍

RS5's steering wheel feel is said to be numb. How does the TT RS compare? You never mentioned..

I think its a perfect car for those who can't buy a supercar but wants to experience one. But, I wonder. What if audi removes the pointless back seats and make the TT RS a mid engine car?

I'd agree at the bit at the beginning about the mark 1 and 2, but the hairdresser thing was (I thought) banished once the mark3 came about. Not just in looks, but also driving style which was massively improved. The stigma as you say will continue if - dare I say - motoring journos are too lazy to begin a TT review with something new to say, relevant to the latest model. Personally, I will wait for the 500hp Plus.

Yes baby r8 !!! TT RS 😍😍😍

Can you please make a video about the difference between the tt rs 2017 and Audi TT rs 2018. Thank you

Does the TTRS have auto park system like the TT and TTS ? Or is it just park assist ?

is this a Clarkson knock off? Cringing..

what color is this?

I don't care how fast it is It can't beat the feeling of a rwd

Which color was that TTRS?

No the guy behind you on the motorway is in a BMW and is generally a blank blank. Lol.

51k u mad? Get a 2nd hand vantage for that and way more kerb appeal!

Better off with a stage 2 R. Puts down about the same times, much cheaper, 4 doors and way more storage

Nice review just a shame it gets spanked on just about every track by a Cayman S or an M2. Drove one recently the chassis can't decide what it's doing. Understeer to snap oversteer in a second. Didn't breed much confidence.

try mini cooper john cooper works can reach speed same as ttrs with just 1.6t

Fantastic, fast car but a ridiculous amount of money. Better to buy an actual used supercar for that money!

Why's he speaking so weirdly?

£51k for a TT?? No matter how fast and noisy - no way ...

For 50k I would need more elbow room. Great review but it seems like a point A to B one trick pony never get the sense with rs models that you can be silly

I would take rs5

pick some different music

Top 100

the first tt was very poor and failed almost everything then the car is tuned year after year. it is not a fast car but a car that is tuned time and again. i think if other cars like ford rs,a45 and just and 2.0t car can beat it look at john cooper work mini tuned ca reach the same speed as tt-rs

The poor's R8 NO doubts.

This guy is so smug.

First comment

When sports cars can hit 0-60 in 1 second and we realise how pointless it is, manufacturers will have to differentiate themselves by making cars that are actually fun to drive on public roads at legal speeds, ie Mazda MX-5

forever a hairdressers car

Still just a tt mate calm down

AWD for people who can't drive. Dual clutch for people that can't drive. Audi, for people who can't drive
