We always enjoy when Audi’s come in for review, because, by and large, they are excellent. Now, when something fun like the Audi TT RS comes in, well, everything else gets set aside.
With 400 horsepower, 3,300 lbs of weight, all-wheel drive and a 0-60 of 3.6 seconds, yes, we didn’t want to give it back.
Here is a question to ask though, given it’s the same price as a Porsche Cayman S which would you go for? What about against a used Nissan GT-R?
So, just how good is the 2018 Audi TT RS and does it live up to the hype? That is what we find out on this episode of Rumblestrip.NET and Ten Minute Test Drive.

Timely video as I just put a deposit on a Dayton Gray pearl TTRS this past week that should be arriving in a matter of days. I look at the TTRS not so much as an out and out sports car but as one of the world's best hot hatches. I spent more hours than I care to count researching and test driving before I came around to the TTRS and it was the combination of looks, sound, luxury, tech, performance and practicality that led to my choice. And my price was just a hair under $70k for a car that has everything but the Dynamic Plus package so I am well pleased with that amount of car for that price. Thanks for the video review.
The car for those who can't drive. Fast as hell in a straight line and falls off from there. I'd rather a Cayman. End of day, one is a VW Golf, the other is a mid engine sports car. The TTRS had too much understeer in my opinion. As a GT I get it. Not as a sports car though
I have been doing a lot of research on my next car with a budget of 100k. I have been trying to get something that I really like for as cheap as possible. I have been looking at gen 1 r8 v10, 997.2, gen 5 viper, Amg gts, GTR, Hellcat, All the big players. I also look into power potential of mods because I ideally am looking for a 6-800hp car. The TTRS is the best option I have found out. The engine and tranny can take gobs of power stock. Essentially the TTRS beats all the other cars mod for mod. It mods like a GTR, The GTR needs a engine rebuild to go above 700whp where ppl are pushing the TTRS close to 8 still trying to find out when they will blow up. The thing is a tuning monster.
Need to test drive the RS3. Some power train in a A3 sedan. With a 997 911 as a fun. At the RS3 would be a nice daily. Although I enjoy my S3 as a daily driver but lust for the RS3.
I don't quite understand the comparisons with the Cayman. Sure the base costs are compatible, but people generally don't buy the base car. When I looked at getting one of these, I found that a fully loaded TTRS w/ every possibly option (including ceramic brakes) would cost me around $85K out the door, while Cayman S equipped with the same options would cost about $110K. IMHO you cant just look at base price, you need to figure in all of the add-on costs as well. FWIW, I got the Audi about a year ago and absolutely love it.
Same feeling for me. The TT missed the center infotainment screen. It is good to have it to load balance the info from the driver's side screen as well as entertaining control and display for passenger.
Beautiful car! Performance quality what else do you need.Got the TTs mk 2 DSG REVO stage 1 322BHP 438NM 330FTbls of Torque 240KW of Power.
wow…. I guess 70k is "budget".. feels bad man
Nice review
Another reviewer that can't stay on message of a new car, not compared to used???? People who buy the RS are rich, can afford the ridiculous insurance (not all companies will insure this car or any like it). It is not an everyday driver, but what a rich person would drive to feel good about who they are. I love this car being everything so many at this price are not. Would I own it? That comes down to what I said about rich people. The basic TT is affordable and has excellent performance, insurable and it gives the middle class guy something to fuel his soul with outstanding looks. Which are you?
Downvote for bad information. Gtr is over 550 hp and does 0-60 in under 3 seconds. What in the hell are you talking about. You put another turbo on this thing and we will talk. That being said I am looking to buy the TT RS because it feels like an Audi and the gtr feels like a Nissan.
Confirmed: GTR is faster.
