Audi TT-RS with 2.5L IL5T review - S2Forum

Flat out review

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Audi-TTRS_688317.htm

Review is in Dutch, but the highlights are:

- Good price
- Very fast (max 288 KM/H unlocked)
- Audi stated full boost (520 Nm) around 1600 RPM, but reviewer feels it only from 2000 RPM onwards.
- S-button opens exhaust pipe to bypass one damper (apart from changes to suspension and electronics) for more sound which sounds fantastic
- A lot of oversteer in wet circumstances with Quattro WOT
- Not a lot of space inside the cabin, the dog fits on the rear seats
- The TT-RS is not a car for gay hairdressers anymore!

FINALLY - a TT for real men. Audi has shown us a sign they have not completely forgotten their roots...... Oh it sounds really nice and familiar. Great spec at 520Nm BTW - wonder how long it holds torque above 400Nm (300lbft ish). Nice active exhaust. Hats off to them for the packaging - even if it is not 'proper quattro' - to squeeze that lump in there transverse is no mean feat.

I may regret saying this - but I rather like it - WAY outta my price league but give it 10yrs or so - LOL. It looks much more like the spiritual successor to the S2 - versus the big bloated A5/S5... IMHO neway

Postiing this with audio only of that clip playing - and it really sounds nice.

next generation S5 please !!!!!!!! 2.5 TFSI

That would be definitelly an S2 swap for dailly driver ! but i still would keep S2 in storage.

S5 2.5 TFSI anyone ??

Maybe we should make a special post and send it to Audi's boss.

hmm, can think of a whole list of cars which make it into that bracket and not many carry the 4rings

Does sound great, shame they never made a play on the UR roots though for me....the cars these days look fat for all the wrong reasons
