In my present condition (married with 3 kids) I would love to have one, but would most likely not buy it. Doesn't mean I don't love the car so heck, I'll sign the petition. ;)

Ben, I sense from your answer that is the TT RS goes stateside...you are going to have some serious dilema about getting one as a weekend / fulltime toy...he he he.

Saludos mate.

[Benman]

possibly. :)

[quattrogeek]

Wish the 5 cyl turbo motor would find its way into other Audi's as well. Would have loved to have seen this motor in the S4/S3....i'd take the 5cyl turbo over the tupercharged 6 or turbo 4 anyday.

[R1]

Yes! please bring it over :)

[PatriotRSX]

Wow, if I'd seen Qisha post this I'd have believed sooner that the facebook push was real. Dave, get out your checkbook and back up them fightin' words.

No lie, I've been stuffing money in a jar on the kitchen counter for a year and a half. It says "TTRS Fund" on the label.

[Qisha]

Dear Friends,

as you might already know, TT RS is coming to the USA and Canada. :incar:

Coupe only, 6-speed manual only, limited to 1.000 units in total (750 USA, 250 Canada).

Qisha

PS: pricing... is tend to keep the 5 in front.

[DHall1]

What took me so long to find this thread.

Hell YES!!!!!!!

Where do I put my deposit. I dont care what you all say about the government. Just give me my TT RS and I will go crawl back in my cave.

On a side note, Qisha....did the C6 RS6 have a returnless fuel system? In other words, no fuel pressure regulator on the fuel rail and no return fuel line?

The link does not work on that first page. Tell me where to sign up with Audi.

AoA comes through for Dave... congrats! :cheers:

That is just music to my ears. What a design. Wow

Thank you as always and my form is sent to AoA. Now if they just charge me sticker price we have a deal.

Consider our AMG history. There will be two Audi RS models sitting out in the garage. This is the best news.

Not going to happen. With a "5" in front (AKA $59K), I reckon that is as low as it goes. Afterall, it is not an R Golf, it is an RS. :cheers:

[DHall1]

You're saying what? That the dealers are going to markup over sticker?

In this economy? I think Audi should set a fair sticker price and I will pay full sticker price for the car. If not, then I wait a year to buy one used.

Audi of America can price themselves right out of the market niche for this RSTT if they dont watch it. There are other choices and not many folks want to drop 65k+ on a 2dr small coupe.

From AoA webpage:
"To gauge consumer passion for the high-performance car, Audi launched an innovative survey on its Facebook tab. After more than 11,500 fans expressed their enthusiasm for the Audi TT RS in just one month, Audi executives concluded the car’s time had come."

This tells me the price will be on the high side to lower the actual "demand" for only 750 vehicles. Why so stingy with the allotment?

[DHall1]

I still say when the rubber meets the road if the price is too high then buyers will drop out. Looking at the typical euro price for the car and the reasonable current exchange rate....high 50s is a shot. You start heading north of 60 and far too many wives will start to have a say in the matter. Should be fun to watch.

I may have to hold out for an RS3. I need the space. :)

Qisha said with a "5" in front, so I take it to mean $59K. For what it is, I would call that reasonable for any RS model, even the smallest one. :cheers:

[uncfrk]

I wonder if I will have a better chance since we already own 3 audi's??? It sure would be great to do the Euro delivery and catch an F1 race as a bonus.

[Qisha]

Nice Video... enjoy! :hey:

Very Very Nice.

Thanks for posting this. I've watched it twice. I'm going to watch it again. right now.

[uncfrk]

I ran across this in Sport Auto magazine. It has some nice pictures & other info.

Qisha,
This is awesome news! I went to my dealer and submitted a deposit for their first allocated TTRS. Do you have any more info in regards to this for the USA?

Standard colors? Will Suzuka be available?
Seats? Will the Sport Buckets be available? (one could dream)

Thanks in advance,
D.

Old thread & my first post. I have a deposit in for a TT RS ! I think it will be much more fun than the 370z, Cayman S, or BMW 1M. The engine sound will be amazing! I'm hoping the tuners can crack the code on the Bosch ECU for the new CEPB engine soon!

<sigh> I would have greatly preferred the RS3...

[quattrogeek]

^ i concur...rs3 is much more practical for my needs....i would without a doubt buy one if they brought it over.
