Also by speeding, one lowers the time variable for an accident; more speed means less time for the chance of an accident thus faster is safer (okay, I admit that the increase in the speed variable might negate the decrease in the time factor).

I've owned five TT's, from the mk1, mk2 TTS and TTRS and mk3 TTS and TTRS. Always worked for me, I don't need the rear seats, but did need the luggage space for fishing gear. My 2019 TTRS was sold a short while ago. Fantastic car, still turned heads and plenty fast enough for daily use. I miss it, now in a new RS4 as finally I have accepted my fate and need more room. The price of this car is nuts, my TTRS was £60k when I ordered it, but then Audi know people will pay it and all 100 will go like hot cakes. Shame they didn't make a mk4 based on the new RS3, that would have been awesome.

I too have had a similar RS3 journey and now also have a RS4. Due to the inclusion of a dog (outvoted by wife and daughters) into our family, our (last version to be non OPF) 2018 RS3, with a heavy heart, had to go. The sound that car made with stock Sports Exhaust (unlike the newest model) was utterly savage. Got to say though, love the RS4….its so multipurpose, equally as quick and definitely turns heads...

The 2 series will probably live on longer simply because BMW will continue making inline 6 engines, whereas audi is killing it's 5 cylinder production line with the TTRS and R8 (and the huracan of course). Even the RS3 looks like it's near the end when they stop taking orders.

Great review as usual. Entertaining even without the incident - it happens, but impressed you didn’t have more expletives. And on that point… this might actually something to raise with all car manufacturers. I like to think I’m a pretty decent driver, but a couple years back I completely didn’t see a car coming down the road as I was turning right out of a junction. Nothing happened but I’ve more and more noticed just how much space the left hand drivers mirror and a piller take up. Surely car manufacturers should be less concerned about having super strong a pliers in case on the very very rare occasion a car might flip, and ensure better visibility on the a pillars.

I do think they should have come with carbon ceramics, alcantara headlining and even more done to the interior, perhaps got rid of back seats and done a rear cage/crossmember etc and done some fancy bucket seats but they probably knew full well they wont be driven so why bother haha,

This is definitely the coolest version of the TTRS, glad to see a proper farewell. I almost bought one instead of my 21 M2C, but the S55 is just a way more exciting engine, despite the cool factor of the 5 cylinder, plus Im not ready to move away from manuals. I hated the (very) hard limiter right at 6800rpm, and the speed always felt a bit more like a novelty. It's super quick to 60, but it's the kind of car that honestly feels a bit dangerous in turns, the chassis balance is all over the place because they push the engine all the way to the front, hanging out over the front wheels. It's the kind of car that's exciting to look at, but I think would become boring after a few weeks of ownership. Also, Joe, if the Carbon Ceramic brakes aren't available at all on this Iconic Edition, it's because they had alot of problems expelling heat. If I remember, the rotors would start to come apart, and I remember reading a few cases of guys on track who had the CCB's get so overheated that the calipers were melting. I was going to spec a TTRS with CCB's, but after test driving one equipped with them and being very underwhelmed, on top of reading all the horror stories about the CCB's on the Audi forums, they seemed like a pretty dumb decision. The standard brakes aren't amazing, but if the Iconic Edition can't be equipped with CCB's, I guess at least Audi was aware of the issues with their CCB's and isn't continuing to sell a very expensive, very flawed brake option. Overall, very glad I went for a manual M2C over a TTRS. Though, I am happy to see a proper swan song for the 5 cylinder TTRS.

Whilst more subtle on the eye, the equivalent baby BMW coupe has always been the more authentic drivers cars but I think there is space for both. It would have been very interesting to see a new TT spun off the same chassis tech as the RS3 and Golf R. That could really have been something to bridge the gap. looking forward to more great content in 2023! Hope you have a well deserved break.

It truly feels like RS3 had moved on and left its sibling in the dust. They should have done TT a proper send off and put that trick diff from RS3 into this car. And then, maybe it could justify the price tag on this car. At the moment, it just doesn't make any sense that you get a LOT more car from the RS3 than this with a LOT less money, and the value in this car only lies in its rarity rather than what the car can do.
