Don't worry, I'll also give you the full low down on how the car drives on road and track as part of this detailed Audi TT RS video review. Not only does this sports Coupe boast an impressive 400hp from its five-cylinder engine, but the sleek looks make it stand out. Should you consider this over a BMW M2 or Porsche 718 Cayman S. Watch the video to find out.

That condom comparison omg 😂😂😂 didn't expect that from Mat!
I know right! But it's the truth 😣😥
I gained a whole new respect for him for that comment. Lol
Dmitry L hilarious
Dmitry L not hating but I cringed soo hard lmao 😂😂
Dmitry L lol now know as the condom car
Definitely going to place my order for a 1/18th scale model .
Pretty sure I will too! 😂
hahahahahahahah
gtc is also nice
Mat has the best job in the World!
jealous af
Scirocco ThePunisher no. Actually jeremy, hammond and may do!
*top gear in case you didn’t understand
Besttt car
Thanks Matt. I've now got my 7 year old son asking me what a condom is.
Gentle Brother "ask your mother"
***** Hahaha! nice..
Gentle Brother 😂😂😂
Tell your son that a condom is like a helmet, less feel of the wind but safer.
It's just a balloon
Imagine a world where Audi manages to mount their engines behind the front transaxle.....yes,absolute world domination.
Sadly, until we see a revised Quattro system, they are stuck with the overhung design. They have massively improved on it since the olden days though. Stick a brand new A4 against an S2 and you will see the difference in handling. Making their engines out of aluminium and mounting them slightly further back has brought them even closer to the sports car feel. Currently though, the weight and space savings of having the front diff in the gearbox is more than worth the less-playful nature. And they are still very fast despite the obvious drawback. Look back at Top Gear's comparison between the E46 M3 and the B6 S4. The S4 was quite a bit heavier, whilst making just a little bit more horsepower and suffering from it's engine mounting position. The M3 was faster in a straight line, lighter and has the engine mounted very far back, yet the fatter S4 still managed a 1 second quicker lap time than the E46 M3.
What you meant to say was "behind the front axle". Transaxle refers to a car where the engine is at the front and the gearbox is at the back axle.
quigonjay9 Transaxle means that the transmission and final drive components are one big component instead of a few (For instance, in Audis it means that the front diff and tranny are in one package.
they are called porsches btw
Honestly probably one of the coolest cars you can get, it's not too showy while still looking menacing, it's not as pretentious as a cayman, and will 100 percent impress your friends and family without looking like a midlife/quarterlife crisis like a corvette. Also this car probably holds its value very well. Seems like an amazing car to buy.
And sounds better than a 718.
How is a Cayman pretentious... always amazes when what garbage people spew
Smooth brains
Mat the condom and bareback analogy made me smile! Don't expect stuff like that from a car reviewer - you're becoming more unique and more likeable with each review.
Top Gear material.
Totally didn't expect it. Lmao
Haha I found him beyond irritating at first but I think he's the best reviewer out there. Grrrr hate being proved wrong lol
Well done Mat 😀
Need to do an A45 vs RS3 review 👍🏾
What does 'bareback' mean??
audi make the 2 best sounding engines. ttrs. and r8v10
Yeah you're right, fuck all those amgs, astons, ferarris, and brabuses. Audi 5 cylinder for the win. Can I have whatever you've had?
this is the magic of uneven number of cylinders one one bank. 3,5,10 cylinders - they all sound fantastic.
group b audi quattro.
goodbye
+jh5kl....can u go and buy one for the road though?? goodbye
lol, NOTHING can match a Corvette exhaust, especially not a shit audi.
If you equate oversteer with going bareback, why is it considered messing up when you end up upside down in a bush 🤔
+David C lol
+carwow There's a reviewer vacancy at Pornhub. Tell Mat to check it out.
lol
Condom comment caught me off guard haha
This is becoming my fav. review channel.
This is a classic. Great interior. Great engine. Fast acceleration. Decent ride height. Tons of trunk space. Amazing car.
A TT is faster from 0-63 mph than a Mercedes SLR! insane
It's amazing what ten years of technological advancement can do. It really makes you wonder what the next ten years have in store for us
Bailey Smith maybe well have cars in the 70k range that can do 0-60 in 2.3 seconds
Yeah, we`ll have electric cars that go from 0-63 in 1,5 seconds lmao
(I know that this is, at least for now, not possible)
3.6 in 0-100 ............. nice
If you think that is very impressive, think of the new Tesla Roadster
0-100 km/h in *1.9* seconds
Now that is mental and super impressive.
Huh, Child's Play, The Mercedes ////AMG GTR Can do 0-100 in 3.5 Seconds, and Tesla Would Not Be Able To Keep Up With It After 150 Km/h😂😂😂😂😂
155 mph, Roksana
@@raymondteh1711
While electric cars accelerates fast (which is not really due to great tesla engineering, but merely how electric motors work), it still doesn't help when driven at speed, they don't last long. Plus nothing beats having your car range extended to full in under 5 minutes. Takes much too long to charge an electric vehicle which makes them a lot less practical if you have to take longer trips than the maximum range of the car.
@@raymondteh1711 but what about tesla's build qualitty?
That's trash af
For that acceleration why bother with a supercar ? :)
Ive had a tt for the last four years brilliant car.sporty. easy to live with. Tops my list easly.
Carwows best video so far keep it up like this
Um...the original McLaren F1 was clocked at 3.6s to 60 by some testers when it was first released. Others tested it at 3.4s...and I think the best it ever did was 3.2s. So, just goes to show how far we've come...
20 years later....
Doar Eu Yeah. The computer-controlled perfect launch programs, and the fast shifts of modern dual-clutch gearboxes are helping a lot in the 0-60 times of today. But if it was tested for the rolling in-gear times the McLaren F1 would still smash this thing.
The McLaren F1 was way ahead of his time.....i think even today is still the fastest N/A car....at least in terms of top speed.
Yeah
0-100km = 0-62mph so the tt could do 0-60mph in 3.4 seconds as well
Congrats on 100K subscribers Mat!
+MrMiniland333 thanks
even at the end of this video , my car still havent reached 100 yet !
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
First time I feel attracted to a TT. Thankfully Audi's managed to iron out some of the more gawky aspects of the TT's looks. Only thing is that AWD system. Too many manufacturers doing it now and on a 50K car??
Dunno, but if I were in the market for this kind of car, I wouldn't choose it over the Cayman, but would def choose it over the Porsche 718 (I know it's ten grand cheaper), but the 718 and even the Cayman don't sound anything nearly as good as the TT RS.
AWD is what Audi does best. Expecting a performance oriented Audi without Quattro is sort of like expecting a Ferrari to sound like crap, it just ain't gonna happen. For me this car makes perfect sense because I live in the snow belt of the USA and AWD is practically a requirement on any car that I plan buying.
Bailey Smith I'm just old enough to remember the old Top Gear and they used to feature a lot of rallying. And this was back in the days when Audi and Subaru were killing it, and trying to kill each other, out on the rallying stages. But the AWD system of the TT RS isn't the same system. Not by a long shot. It does not have the same heritage or capability being a FWD bias.
I can understand manufacturers doing it on cheaper cars, but not at this price point.
I know that this is a Haldex system and not the traditional Quattro set up, but Audi have a habit of doing their AWD really well. I have a current gen TTS, and only once have I found myself cursing the way the torque was split (to be fair to my car I was being a bit irresponsible). Like Matt said in this video the rock stars of this car are the engine, and the chassis. In my car, the chassis is super stiff and the engine makes enough power for my needs
lapamful addendum: I realize I kinda sound like an Audi fanboy, but I really like my car. I get that the whole Haldex AWD can dissuade some folks, and that's okay. If I lived in a warmer climate, I would probably have more closely considered consider the Porsche Boxster/ Cayman or the BMW M2, or perhaps even a Corvette
A stripper 718 Cayman S with only PDK, Sport Chrono and sports exhausts is $10K more. I'd rather have the TT-RS, 2015 Cayman GTS or 2012 408 hp 997 Carrera 4 GTS for that money.
A properly equipped 718 is 20 grand more. And a base Cayman is depreciation hell.
Abe Froman you are spot on. Just not sure the extra 10k plus is worth it over the TTS.
How the hell did Audi make it sound like a v10?! Amazing
TreeroyJ It wasn't me that said "half the cylinders sounds similar"!! If you want you could ask James May about that...
@TreeroyJ yeh it does
Great review, currently drive a BMW M235i which I never oversteer so the fact the Audi TTRS does not is fine for me, Matt is this a better car than mine as considering ordering one of these..
+Karl Fontanari hell yes. If you are in the UK check our site to see what deal you can get on one!
Cool thx, Autocar were not as complimentary as you on this model but I really like it so I guess you have helped me make my mind up many thx..
+Karl Fontanari And here I am with my Picanto!
It depends wat is important for you. I also drive a M235i (400ps). The TTRS is faster of the line. If you have a rolling start, the difference isn't much. The previous model was.. so this one 100% sure. But then again, there are some advantages such as the M235i has more space etc. I am also thinking for the TTRS as replacement and don't forget.
You need to compare the TTS with the M235i, then the M235i is a winner for me (6 in line engine). The M2 should be the alternative for the TTRS.
Yes agree with that actually wanted the M2 when I went for the M235i as UK allocation all sold out guess the M2 better value than M3/4, so having a test drive end of the month from my local Audi dealer, then will look at costs and make a decision..
TT-RS plus later on perhaps? 430ps maybe?
Wonder where Audi will put the new 2.0L I4 TSi engine they're rumored to have a prototype already? There is already a (Golf R400) 400PS prototype version, but there are rumo(u)rs of a 420PS version. If so, the latter would replace the 400PS version on the TT-RS and an even more powerful version of the 2.5L I5 TSi might be for a TT-RS+.
So watch out in the next few months, there's more from where that came from...
3.6 sec. with 400hp is faster than corvette Z06 with 650hp !!
It's not just about hp it's also Torque
That's not faster than a zo6... Zo6 is 2.95
Congratulations on 100k!
+Miguel B. Thanks

Now 1.4 million
Finally a proper review of this car, nice work. The understeer is a big issue in my opinion, I had a TTS in the bush due to this last year. I drive a Cayman S now and never had an issue, the 6 pot of course ;)
Have to chuckle at the “women’s car” or “hairdressers car” comments.
I bought my first coupe back in June 2017, a three year old Audi TT 2.0L TFSI S-Line Black Edition Quattro and I absolutely love it. It’s the quickest car I’ve owned and the most fun to drive too.
And with the back seats folded down and the custom boot liner fitted, I can still get my mountain bike in the back.
I love how every Audi RS Press car has the number plate of my area (HN) because they're all built 5 Miles away from my home
I was watching your videos and that one made me full of joy! And gave you a sub. That ttrs is perfect car out there! Perfect size, perfect engine, perfect noise, perfect space inside, perfect for all weather(canada) , perfect cabine, perfect design, perfect transmition, perfect suspension. For me, if you can put skis in the car and go from 0-100 in 3.6s its a winner
How about a drag comparison of TT's, from the mk1 225 up to the new RS?
Well this is something. 400hp in a freaking TT from factory! o.O
HAHAHA!!! Big Mat 3:18!!! XD
Edit: He said in the end of the video lol. :)
The much deserved 100k as finally happened, hurrah for carwow
sounds absolutely astonishing!
Love that 5cyl.
I have to get me an Rs3 later
CarWow - supporter of the unsafe sex lobby since 2016 "riskier but more fun". 😏
Congrats on 100k!!
Faster performance than a Porsche Carrera 4S for £39K less. Use the cash saved for a lifetime of loose women.
brightbluesmurf not sure why you'd waste money on women
We all do . Its all a matter of realizing when and how much exactly :) Sometimes its cheaper to pay some bitch for shit than it is to hook up with one !!
Alex Gunner my nigga
@@gigel99324 we use it for men then 🙄
you're kidding yourself saying that lmao
That Exhaust
Could you please review speedometer accuracy on a few cars? I heard that in the EU (including the UK) allowed speedometer error = current speed x 0.1 + 4 km/h. For example, if you were going 50 km/h, it would be considered ok for speedometer to show 59 km/h. There is a myth that it is done for safety reasons. Thanks :)
Kirill Holstov In the EU it is: Above 50kph at least 4kph more shown but only up to 10%. So if you go 50 it can either show 54 or 55, if you're going 70 anywhere between 74 and 77. That rule is in place since 1998.
Seen a video where this car did 0-60mph in 3.2 secs.Thats just nuts 😳🏁🍻
Drove an RS3 for a month(loaner)
The car warped its own brakes. The thing is constantly nipping the brakes to simulate torque vectoring so it puts massive strains on the discs.
After 2,000 klms, the front discs were shot.
Congr8 on 100K sub ! U guys r really doing brilliant reviews
Wow Matt, you sure reached 100,000 subs quickly. Great engine. Great car. Great review.
2.13 for the Condom Comment, and 3.04 for the Bareback Comment, you went full Jeremy Clarkson style with that comment pal, keep up the good work.
Could you do the 2017 TTRS VS MK Audi R8 V10 and V8 please.
Great review! Short and fun... like some other things you mention in the video! XD
I'm just heavily impressed about its weight. Under 1500kg is really good nowadays. I'm a big BMW fan but this TT really makes me struggle... Although I'm sure the M2Comp can keep up.
Looks so great. Love the TT
Thanks for your review.
Do you know if you will be TTRS in 2023 as well ?
Thanks for the review, really beautiful shots!! Damn, now I actually want to try one. It looks good and it seems like a fantastic car and it sounds amazing! Do you maybe know if the exhaust was stock or upgraded? Thanks again!
Has to be the best review ever on the planet 😂😂😂🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿well you are the best atm
Great car and nice review. Quite a beast!
that car looks monster! but after the fun and oversteer I've been used to in my gt86 it looks a bit.. dull
Entertaining and informative review! Well done!
So Mat doesnt use condoms?
Well after the vasectomy pun in the last video I m guessing his pipes are cut anyway lol
what a conclusion😂😂😂😂
I like to think not...😦
OMG!!!!!!Love the SOUND of the five cilinder
Simply love this little roadster, looks much better in real life too - pictures and videos don't do it justice.
Congratulations on 100k yay :)
I've always liked the TT. There is a 2013 TT RS (6 speed) on sale near me for $40k. 44k miles. Good deal or no?
If I am talking modern interiors, this car is THE best.... simple, functional, smart, yet still minimalistic. Audi, if I'd have the money one day, it'd be a no brainer.
you will now be referred to as 'bareback matty' - congratulations on the marvellous review
The problem is Haldex AWD. That’s where the understeer is coming from. Engine placement doesn’t help, but that’s not the biggest problem.
that was a dope review
Man this car looks amazing. So sharp and clean. Always liked Audi's and VW's styling, but the current gen TT trumps all.
:)))) condom comment. have to appreciate your honesty. that comment overshadowed the whole review :D brilliant!
Your best video yet(and I've seen most of them) Nothing to do with the car, everything to do with the journalism.
this is the best review
Takes everything into account
ANd....
Doesnt waste time with useless intros like everyother person on the internet...
Lucky boy! Currently have a MK2 and I really, reallyyyyy want one of these!
That 0-62...
Love the new animation when you like comments on TH-cam, it's so dope, *anyone else?*
I'm no prude, but the condom comments seemed so out of place haha
That "bareback TT" looks good as hell!
why is Audi still putting the engine slightly passed the front axle push it back several inches and the car will handle beautifully stubborn car maker
If you compare an A4 to a BMW 3 series you will see why. The interior room in the A4 is better, so is the boot size, yet the cars are the same size. Also, the front diff being built-into the gearbox saves weight and space. Besides, Audis are still fast around tracks, the steering just feels dead compared to their competitors and the cars are more prone to understeer rather than oversteer.
Still though, would love to see an A4 with a 5 cylinder mounted as far back as a 3 series, that would just dominate it's class.
exactly if they can figure out or sacrifice a little for performance they would dominate imagine a Audi that doesn't understeer at all that would be sweet especially a roadster like the tt rs I think audi thinks they can manage it because Porsche does til today still can figure out how Porsche keeps that rear end composed on their vehicles
Dor1to McSwagger Well, if you can trail-brake, Audi's can be absolute track monsters.
+Newgenerationisbg agree with you 100% 👍
+Newgenerationisbg but doesn't trail braking affect ur speed out of the corner?
Beautiful Car! I would take this everytime over a Porsche 718 Cayman! Porsche failed with the new Engine! I mean, not in Numbers but in Politics....
Matt, what I want to know is, does the new 5 Cylinder have a new turbo?... and what will it run with some nice APR bits stuck to it...? My RS3 is good for mid 11s now... I'd buy this in a heart beat if it were good for a 10.xx with full bolts ons!
They can keep their pathetic 4 cylinder cockster, with its "organic steering feel" and "balance" ... give me a sub 3 second 0-100 monster that sounds like Walter Rohls S1 on anti-lag any day of the week!
best line ever 'understeer is like Wearing a condom' great video as usual.
I'd have this over an m2 any day of the week
Matt should go for the recently vacated TopGear presenter slot. He's be a great addition.
Love that engine. Unfortunately, Canada won't get this car, nor the RS3.
From what I've read (as I wipe the tears from my eyes) only the Yanks get that wonderful machine. Canada denied again!
That condom analogy! 😂 Did your boss give you a slap on the wrist, Mat?
Good review! I really want to love this car but they've ruined 3 KEY ingredients: No manual, no physical gauges anymore, (dare I say it?) ricer wheels. I think i'd rather the previous generation. I really love that motor.
OMG! That condom joke! LOL 😂😂😂
lmao, that condom analogy is golden
3.6 on speedo, so ca 4.0-4.1 with racelogic, but still fast. Good intercooler,exhaust,intake and remap should let do ca 3 sec with racelogic
pretty fair review. i know people rip on the haldex system. but like you said its made to go fast.
just like all the golf r vs focus rs reviews. but i bet you, you take 10 of those focus rs fanboys and time them around a track, they will be faster in the golf r.
same with the tt rs vs the cayman.
however i just dont see the comparison. you check all the right boxes for the go fast stuff in a cayman and you are at $100k.
That car is sick!!!! Im so gonna get that car in my life! And im only 15...
Yeah good luck. most people won't be able to get one in their life so... maybe when it's an older model.
Bro! I'm in the same spot... 15 and dreaming of this car. 🤣
Hahaha lot of 15 year old males (like myself) want this car. Just pray you get a good job and save up lol.
Emil Halonen Same lol
@emil its alright its possible! dont believe what @harry said, im 17 i got a new RC F, its slower than the TTRS but it costs a bit more.. so i kinda regret not getting the TTRS (Parents helped me)
Why is there no Porsche 718 review yet? A comparison test with the TT RS (and maybe the M2 as well) would be ideal
If they made it with the engine behind the seats and with that engine that would be a really big competitor to the R8. Would be awesome to see tho
Excellent 5 Cylinder from Audi and Interior is good too but I dont think it looks aggressive from the back and driving is not as good as the competitors
by the way.. only in the new tt has a rs package.. the former models were only having s package
How did you get away with those smutty references? Lol
2.5-litre five cylinder engine nice and this power.
Please do a race between a ttrs and m4 competition..
You should make a review of the new 718 gts Cayman
2:11 BAHAHAHA BEST CAR REVEIWER EVERRRR
Here's hoping the RS3 Sedan gets that engine. Epic.
It is. I'm down for one. Likely to be announced at the Paris motor show in October. So excited :)
The condom analogy was a bit cheap matt... lol The contraceptive mobile!!!
Why don't Audi just plant the engine longitudinal and give it a Torsen differential? Get it right Audi!
because thats not possible with the MQB plattform, after all, the TT is basically a Golf ;)
Mercedes have made platforms that supports mounting the engine both longitudinally and transverse and it worked well. Volkswagen should have done the same with the MQB to allow for a more diverse range of models.
