Semi OT: TT-RS US Pricing $56,850 (pre-destination)

///M1 · 07-10-2011, 11:46 PM

Looks like power for the US was indeed bumped up by 20hp as speculated (to 360). Still though, $10K over the 1///M is substantial.

While I have been a big fan of Audi, the TT has always left me cold. It's too pretty and cute to be taken seriously. the RS version will be very capable and potent but I would have been more tempted by the RS3.

No doubt the TT-RS will dust the 1M in a drag race, but I'm pretty sure it will be a different story on a track.

As TopGear Mag said in their recent comparo of the 1M v RS3 (same engine as TT-RS): "... forget 3.7, settle for 4.5"

I'm a huge Audi fan but until they move their engines behind the front axle, color me uninterested. Nevermind the fact I'm looking at a Cayman S when you hit that sort of price point before options.

Will the TT-RS have a limited production run like the 1M?

Seems like the price is a bit too steep even though that is a great car.
... I wonder though if it will stand out on the street or just look like any other TT

Great car perofrmance... not so great price tag. Audis have all been plagued by skyrocketing prices in the last 10 years... No bene.
