[Adrenaline Rush]

TT-RS is pretty much a dead heat with the Audi R8 (!) acceleration wise - can we say underrated from the factory? Nevermind the tuning potential that the 2.5 turbomotor has...

If the TT-RS had a manual transmission option it would be perfect. Although dual clutch transmissions are actually pretty nice now.

[ilvtofu]

HOLY SHIT 3.6s

Lmao the g37 isn't even in the same league.... 3720 lbs what a pig

[mpr]

TT 3320 lb 335 lb 332 ft-lb

3.6 0-60
12.1 1/4 mile

is that right? I would think it needs at least 400 hp to get those numbers.

[twitchyzero]

1M looks dated already

^ yeah don't they have editors? That's like enzo fast, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be 4.6 seconds, not 3.6 seconds

North American models for TT-RS will be manual only!!!
But of course as a result, you won't be seeing those numbers...

[platinum300]

The 0-60 time of 3.6 sec. for the Audi TT-RS is a little misleading. The only way it can achieve those times is using launch control. If you look at its rolling 5 - 60mph time (which is 5.2 sec.), that's a better indication of its accelerating capabilities. I wish magazines would stop using launch control or clutch dumping at 5000rpms or more; or for automatics revving the engine and holding the brake pedal and then letting go of the brake pedal. Like who in the right mind would abuse their cars like that.

In the real world, the Audi R8-V10 would smoke the Audi TT-RS. The TT-RS will probably hang with the R8 in a 0 - 60 drag race, but rolling acceleration, the TT-RS will get smoked.

Even the BMW M1 will beat the TT-RS from a rolling start. I'm pretty sure if the TT-RS didn't use any type of launch control, it's 0-60 time would be in the high 4's.

$66,000 is way too much for the TT-RS. I rather get the BMW M1 and have an extra $16,000 in my bank.

[donjalapeno]

TT-RS > BMW M1...i wouldnt even consider the G37...fat ass

[flagella]

I'd take 1M. TT-RS 0-60 is ridiculous. That has to be with perfect launch control.

[too_slow]

^ yeah don't they have editors? That's like enzo fast, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be 4.6 seconds, not 3.6 seconds

No, it really is 3.6 seconds.

For what it's worth, Audi/VW has been under-rating their engines.

200hp on a GTI is actually 200hp at the wheels.
333hp on the S4 is actually 333hp at the wheels.. etc etc (or 400+ bhp)

[too_slow]

BTW, here's a test mule of an Avant with the TT-RS drivetrain (rumored to be the new RS4)

man i love the RS line. expecially the RS-5
but this TT RS is like 16grand over its competitors. too pricy

[1mcoupe]

my name WINS! MUAHAHA :fullofwin:

Well, the TT-RS doesn't really have any direct competitors in the market, maybe except for the Z4 35is, which is not even in the same league. Even at this price, I'm sure these cars would still be selling like hotcakes (relatively), since it still has a very solid following.

AWD + 7speed DSG + launch control = :fullofwin:

[dark0821]

damn.. thats like supercar territory for the TT RS

[busdriverman]

66G's for a TT-RS...No thanks. the audi is not a consideration even if it had the DSG and launch control in north america.

i would definitely go with the 1M. 16 G's less than the audi is a deal breaker.

the g37's fuel consumption is absolutely terrible...i have friends who have the car as well and that thing vaporizes gas even with timid driving habits

5 grand over a standard g37s with only rims, a bit more power and some aesthetic touches does not justify the price!

[rawr]

Makes me want a 1M even more. For the money of a TTRS, I'd rather get a M3 coupe with competition package.

thats terrible, they put the G37 in there just to be embarassed

That's the only explanation that can account for the trap speed.

[Harvey Specter]

1M looks dated already

+1, the Audi on the other hand looks hawt.

you cant get an m3 coupe for 66G's

they start at 71000 before options, taxes and freight

[StylinRed]

the bmw is the winner here

but the Audi is gorgeous imo and the numbers help but the price is like a "wtf?"

[Alphamale]

Infiniti and their dumbass "IPL" evokes nothing but.....

[mmmk]

infiniti needs to make the g37 less of a tank...it's so big and sluggish compared to the other 2 (haven't driven either rs or m versions, but i assume they r better than the current haha)

[monkeywrench]

I saw a black IPL G37 just a few days ago, and I admit it looks decent, but being so heavy and sluggish compared to the TT-RS and 1M, it's pretty much in the different league.

The TT-RS packs quite alot of power for a small car, but the 1M is pretty much the same in terms of weight.

I'm looking forward to seeing the TT-RS land here soon and hopefully a revised RS4 when they ditch the current body style

[doms]

fucking sick...

[vo_hantu]

Here we go...is this the right car? I don't know my audis.

EDIT: I just re-read these specs are for the manual version. Can't find anything for the 7speed auto...hmmmm...really that big of difference?

Quote from audi website:

"The TT RS rockets from 0 to 62 mph in 4.6 seconds. The governed top speed of 155 mph is merely the official figure; as an option, it can be increased to 174 mph. Peak torque of 332 lb-ft is available between 1,600 and 5,300 rpm, providing tremendous pulling power. The TT RS Coupe requires only 9.2 liters of fuel per 25.57 US mpg – another example of how Audi combines dynamics and efficiency."

[xpl0sive]

lol $66k for an RS Audi is cheap compared to costs of other RS cars in the line up. RS4's were $100k and sold very well. I think people that are spending more than $50k on a car will not get scared away by a 16k price difference in order to get a lot more car for their money

[rawr]

C/D numbers are in US... An M3 coupe in the states retail for $58,900 MSRP. So yes, an M3 coupe w/ competition pkg is less than 66gs.

[G-spec]

soon as i saw the thread title, asked myself WTF is the IPL G37 doing in there, things gonna get killed!

great looking car aesthetically speaking, (minus the 4x4 ride height) but overall the thing sucks, they should keep it for what it really is, a luxury coupe with a dash of sport... and nowhere near worth the price... like 50+ grand for a tiny bit more hp over the normal coupe, power you won't even really feel, oh and a sport kit and wheels.... oh and it's fckin 4x4 status thing sits so high... even the infiniti guys me included are disappointed in it overall..

give me a base model g37 coupe, and i will make it faster and better looking than this thing while keeping the price under 50k overall

[jpark]

^yeap.. i think the rear bumper of the IPL g37 looks fugly.....gives impression that it's trying way too hard to compete with the m1 and the tt-rs by addition of sport enhancement that doesnt flow well together....

the original g37 rear in the other hand, nice subtle and classy

The DSG definitely shifts faster than most humans can shift so that automatically takes a couple tenths of seconds off the 0-60 time. It also has an extra gear (7 spd vs 6 spd) and it looks like it's geared pretty low and reaches 60 exactly at the top of 2nd. The addition of the "sport" exhaust may add a bit of power as these engines seem to be both underrated as well as easy to mod for more power. Finally, there's the launch control which allows easy and repeatable optimal launches and all those changes add up.

no fucking way it can do 0-60 in 3.6s
my friend owns one and its around the same as a light tuned E46 M3

the RS3 used the TT-RS drivetrain

whoa 3.6 0-60. That's ridiculous for the TT. If only it came with a manual gearbox since every manual Audi I've driven had AMAZING gearboxes.
