Please don't convert this into US dollars and then claim its over priced. PLEASE! lol. But it is overpriced even without doing that, as this seems pretty close to how much an M3 costs there if I'm not mistaken.

I have ordered mine and it's due for delivery in July. I cannot wait. It's so powerful that Audi have detuned it as it was quicker than the R8 in a straight line. Once it has been re mapped it will hit 62mph in 3.6 seconds ...... now that is what I call fast ...... and all for £45K. I am a very happy Audi driver :-)

If that's true, and the engine and the suspension can handle that much power, we will have a new instant classic in the TT-RS.
