Audi working on new RS TT and RS3

Audi took the wraps off its new TT-S range back at January’s Detroit Auto Show and then followed it up with the new TT 2.0L TDI diesel and entry-level 1.8L TFSI, however there’s one more TT variant in the works and it could potentially be the fastest production TT ever.

The new car is the performance RS variant of the TT and it’s expected to be launched in both coupe and roadster forms in the middle of next year.

I assume the RS3 will not make it stateside snce the S3 never made it here.

It may be possible. If I remember correctly BMW brought the M-Coupe over here even though the hardtop version of the Z3 was not available.

We can only hope.

I appreciate the optimism and I hope you're right. I'm not gonna hold my breath tho.

I'm still holding out for my A5 but it's nice to know the TT will have a sexy look to it. I wasn't really a fan of the previous design.

You can't go wrong either way. The A5 has some major road presence...couldn't stop looking at it crawling in the Houston traffic. 350 horses in the TT is gonna scoot tho...

No, you probably were deboosted because your comment was completely off-topic.

On a deboosting note, I'm wondering how my earlier comment was deboosted. It was a statement in reply to someone's observation. Was it too off topic, too wrong?

I think your conclusion from the "little test" was only half right.
1) People do hate you for your unending and relentless Toyota and Lexus PR posts that add nothing to this forum.
2) Non-preggers Jessica Alba is really hot.

You've just realized most people on this site hate you? You're comments have given you a sour reputation so what do you expect?

MT,

They may lead US in sales but in the world wide market where it really matters Lexus is a just a pebble beach like their SC430 which is complete utter crap!

Deal with it you troll.

Funny. Audis sales worldwide are more than double those of Lexus. Lexus is insignificant outside the U.S.A.

Isn't Lexus' largest demographic 60+ people, 40-some Asians, and women in general?

Audis are also for motorsport enthusiasts, and are cars with motorsport pedigree, something that Lexus does not have...

Seriously,
I see more men 20-30, including me, with Audis than BMWs. The only people that own BMW are trashy and the only people who own Lexus are either over 65 or extremely Asian.

Too bad Audi can out preform BMW and Lexus in almost any class.

So, here it how it breaks down:

Amazingidiot = BMW
MichaelTaylor(aka Houstoncutie)= Lexus

and now,

AudiNewEngland = Audi

I am glad that Audi finally has its own respresentation in this category.

Now, we just need somewone to represent MB. Is anyone going to step up?
