I don't think you'll see this to at least 2017,same goes for the VW GOLF R 400.

I don't reckon Audi will see it as a priority as the mk3 is hardly selling like hot cakes at the price they originally thought it would sell for,so a more expensive model might be a bit of a languisher.

Edit.

There was also no mention of it at Frankfurt which doesn't bode well.

 

RS is released around the 30 month mark just before the face lifts start to appear. For the TT and A3 the RS division has little to do on the car as its uses the same platform as the rest of the range. So the only question would be where do they want the power to be.

The RS is also used to kick start or restart sales interest in the model. This is part of the 3 phases the model goes through. Base, S and the RS. Then come the limited or value editions too. MK2 had the SE followed by the BE early on which is also common for all Audi models.

Not as much as being tickled with a feather [smiley=jester.gif]

The wait is going to be the determining factor,I remember the torture what was the new TTS,so all I can say is ...watch this space.....atm.

Edit:

It's about time you showed us your new steed....

Edit,Edit
Just realised you have. :lol:

 

I think that's it - I just would not have the patience to wait for it, especially as i think toshiba is right and it won't be until Geneva next year.

And the extended waited post launch for the deals....

 

The RS is also used to kick start or restart sales interest in the model.

So that will be next year then

I'll put money on it that it won't

 

I believe the plan was dealers will be ordering their cars soon... with expected delivery next year :wink: (a little birdy told me at the weekend)...

 

Well if that's the case at least it's good news amongst all the turmoil,however I won't withdraw my cash out just yet.

Good news, will you be first in the queue? :wink:

 

I think that was the hint from AUK, but i don't think so..
Then again i never actually plan these things i just end up walking out with an order form i never expected to have signed..

I'm thinking MP12c and just keep the TT for the daily grind, the wife rolled her eyes and left the room when i mentioned it. Thats not a "no you can't", right??

 

New video of TT RS in camo !!

Sounds dirtier

 

Not hanging around this time either!

 

love the back break

 

Do you think those are the headlights for it (daytime running) or are they they ones from the Sport? I would have thought they would stick with the "claw". Looks...fast!

I'd be really interested to see what this has over the TTS aside from the meatier engine.

There is def room for improvement handling wise.

 

Very true. Although, if you'd driven the TTS in isolation, you'd be more than happy. I had the chance to do a review on the new Honda Type R yesterday and was blown away by the handling - It's simply in a different league.

The Honda has set the ring record for a FWD car at 7:50mins.Pretty impressive.I see Audi have failed to mention anything about the TT

Agreed!

 

I don't care how good the Honda is, looks like a Max Power feature car, that wing.... :lol:

 

Yes the looks are very subjective! But, if you're a 30 something (going on 18) look what I'm driving, hammer the twisties type merchant then you're going to be in GTI heaven. As soon as you lift off, you're given the full aural waste-gate experience..

Horses courses..

 

Strange that Honda managed such a good lap time with the Civic, but in every magazine test it's been much slower than both the Megane and Leon.
Regarding the new TTRS, I'll bet that it's at the Geneva Motor show, and will be released as quickly as possible to compete along side the M2.

 

I wouldn't read too much into it.There are rumours the Honda was tuned,ran on slicks,had beefier brakes etc,much like the Seat did.

Also I don't think BMW have too much to worry about

 

Also Honda have advised not to expect much more than 5k useful miles from the fronts.. which probably explains its circuit pace.
