That would rock if it sounds like the old Coupe Quattro

Looks great but it will cost way too much. Isn't the new TT S between 66k-70k?

Awesome. They're going back to a 5 cylinder turbo engine! Twin turbo in this case!

Sweet. Finally a TT that a man could drive without embarrassment - insert devil banana here. Agreed likely pricey though.

nice but if it's M3 money, i'll take the M3. If we're talking 45k, it might be worth taking another look.

I was never a TT fan until the recent redesign. it finally has a bold muscular look that reflects it sports car image. But I do think a TT-RS priced anywhere near M range is ridiculous. Car companies need to start giving us performance coupes in the $40K-$50K range.

So where does this TTRS fit in? The price will have to be north of the TTS price meaning that it could be anywhere from $68-75k; which would put it in 911 territory. Then you have the RS4 MSRP of $66,910.00. I am interested to see where it ends up. |

The 2.5 5-cylinder was originally made to be boosted. But they didn't want it to step on the 2.0lT. Looks like they've turned on that reasoning.
I think that this spells the end of the VR6. |

Agreed even with the new power the car is still relatively ghey, but not nearly as ghey as a boxster - and when you think about non-ghey vehicles that are also convertibles and AWD... there aren't many... 911 Turbo, Gallardo Spyder come to mind - at double and triple the price.

i've been a huge fan of the new TT looks/design ever since i saw the first leaked proto photo..now that an RS version is in the works that's even better..unfortunately..that price has to drop because i'd rather pay out that money for the RS4 first

If the TT-S is already 66ish thats ****ing stupid. There is no way the TT-RS is going to be "68-75" try more like 80ish then...which is sad, cus RS cars are awesome, but it still wont touch the GT-R....for that money I'll get godzilla

WTF do you people get your prices from? The TT-S would be $45-47k in the US, NOT $66-70k.

Well if Audi's aren't AWD, then they are FWD. If its FWD, then it would mean it cannot fight with BMW, Benz and lower end Porsches', and even Infiniti G37 in the true sense, especially for the price point which this car will try to command.

Too true. I would be willing to spend that kind of cash on something that I REALLY like--but everything out there has a drawback. In the case of the TT, even if it was in that range, in typical VAG fashion, it will start to fall apart at around 50K miles... .
