I had to come back to this video after the podcast... Tony is so funny/awkward in this video ahahahaah
Audi's 5 cylinder engines always sound SO good!
I think this one in particular sounds mega!
sounds like a V10
its like a smaller version of a v10 and i like it even more its very unique sound!
It really does sound great!
doesn´t sound that good without its sound emitting stuff and all the speakers making 5 cyl noises...
Hair dressers car or not, still sounds better than a 718 :(
lapamful 718 is a utterly sounds terrible
agreed.Hairdressers can't handle this power.They usually grab the diesels or 2 litre turbos
718 is such a dead car, even Porsche themselves say they didn't want to make a 4CL Boxster/Cayman, no wonder so many reviews say it has no soul
CarreraGT its dindnt sound that bad i heard it in real life but the problem is that its no porsche sound...
TONIGHT: Sam drives a hairdresser's car with John Oliver's brother, James talks about Porsches, and Paul wraps ANOTHER car...TH-cam Top Gear.
Hahahahahahahahaahaa
That's perfect! I even read that in Jeremy Clarkson's voice
Lol. I think one of the three defo has to be Shmee playing the James May role with his shit haircut
It should be Paul ruins another car, great comment tho.
Adamini Paul from Supercars of London, he's blacked out the badges on his M3 and says he might get aftermarket rims even though the M3s stock ones are great. It made me cringe I hate cars with modified appearance.
I'm sorry but I love how he highlights things your Abarth doesn't have like radio etc
You cannot get the Audi TT-RS seeing as an Abarth 695 is your daily...
I wasn't considering it
Anonymous lol
The thing about tt drivers is the way they put their hands on the posts that attach the steering wheel to the center of the wheel every tt owner including my father does that
Replace the 695 in 6 months time when you can get a TT RS with a few miles on the clock for a good price ;)
£60,000 just shows how our money is becoming worthless
Mark Williams he needs some money to run the house, food and much more! He not bill gates!
Mark Williams if he was at the level of bill gates.....then he would close the gates
£60,000 could get a 2 year old gtr
Gageplayz mcpe and 900,000 minecraft disk
GTAAman wtf
Of course he like that one. It has "Factory-Lipstick-Styling". ;)
HenkeEdge nice
8:42 Sam's pissed beyond belief! haha
The guy's trolling was on point though LMAO
This car just like the previous TT RS and RS3 is a beast! With some small upgrades you can make it extremely fast. From 0-100 You have nearly no competition. You will easily rip any AMG or BMW from 0-100 km/h.
The TT RS is a great car for making power! They are pretty damn capable!
Loving the videos Sam keep it up!
That video was filmed just up the road from where i live! Great video!
I've never really understood what people mean when they say 'a hairdressers car'. I assume that's not meant to be taken literally??
I don't own one and I'll probably never be able to afford one, but they look like a really nice car to me.
69mrbrightside691 oh wow it came from Clarkson!!!! just goes to show the influence celebrities have over us all.
Also... cheeky bit of STG merch I didn't notice until the end. Nice hat man!
I love how this video starts, great hook.
I really like this car a lot! The sound is better than most supercars!
MDKSuperCars yeaaaa no.
MDKSuperCars Eehh... No. Still pretty good though.
This is such an awesome car. I live in the Midwest of the United States and you never see TT's... this would be as rare as seeing an R8. I love how it sounds like half an R8 as well.
Audi sticking with the 5 Pot is paying off. (sound wise)
I have a 2001 Quattro TT that is fantastic, manual and stage 3 tune that makes it so much fun. Great car, and loved the video :D
Sam this is possibly my favourite video of yours, because it's shot in a way that I aim my Channel to be, everyday cars that can give anybody a smile. Not just £100k+ supercars. No it's not a supercar but I'd take a sub 4s car with that noise any day of the week. Any tips on getting access to cars like this would be much appreciated.
"TT RS is a little bit behind me" .... *buys a fiat*
LOL
That mega awkward moment when they both can't make eye contact at 1:20 haha
Oh God I haven't noticed it first time watching it 3 years ago 😂😂
Sam!!!! 'Virtual Cockpit' had me absolutely howling. You are a nutcase!!
Jesus, tomorrow you'll say that your Abarth is a supercar. IT'S A BLOODY SPORTSCAR. Wake up Sam.
well 0-62 in 3.7 is supercar territory. doesn't look or drive like one though. You're probably better off with a base carrera.
Wealthy Pepsi I must say, you are real idiots. Considering a supercar by stats. Why these people thinks they are car people?
***** since when did it became sub 3? It was always 500+ hp, sub 4 to 100, and preferably mid engined. Not a lot of cars in production today can crack 3 seconds to 62. I can count maybe 10 (not including track cars). Also M3 doesn't do a sub 4. The M4 with the competition pack does a 3.8 though.
Perfect addition to the Abarth :D Crazy daily, practical "super" xD
So having driven this TTRS and the New 718s what would you choose? Keeping in mind I will only use the car Friday-Sunday as I have a daily driver. The price here is almost identical.
I daily a 2nd gen TT 2.0 and I love it, it's your preference on what you like in a car, people say it's more of a woman's car but I have seen more women in z4's, big trucks, camero's, mustang's etc... so it's literally just your preference in cars, it doesn't have to be feminine to like a TT and it's not any more manly to drive a 370z or a mustang or something, what is more manly is not giving a fuck
Phone Pranks you don't have to be feminine, you just have to be gay.
Well at least this car provides a nice ass for the manly Mustang and Camaro drivers to look at whilst the TT crushes them in a straight line or Hill Country twisties. All while getting better gas mileage than them- in an interior that puts those to shame.
Virtual cockpit defiantly sounds like a fun night out!
I watched your TTS Review and soon after got myself an '09 TTS!
Makes the perfect sound 👌
Sam you should get an Aston Martin DBS Carbon Black Edition. that would be the perfect Jag replacement!
Great review. Thank you.
I've been a TT fan since its groundbreaking introduction into the U.S. market. For the first time Americans were introduced to styling themes applied tastefully throughout an automobile. The first few model years of the TT sold in this Country were simply beautiful.
That said, I'm not excited about the TT's current styling. Yes, it looks fast, modern and capable. What the new TT's lack in styling, the original TT's oozed. I'm talking about SEXY. The current version lacks those gentle rounded curves and sweeping roof line that stir the primal urges.
Don't get me wrong, the current TT is a beautiful car. In my opinion however, it lacks many of the classic "lines" attributed to the TT.
The car sounds great! And I like the guy in the passenger seat haha...he's funny and very relaxed.
As a 2017 TTS owner I unerstand the TTRS has the performance on paper but i'm not sure a wing and a few different body pieces, and an extra cylinder are worth 15 grand difference in USD. Theres a LOT of used potential for 75 grand.
I love the RS range of Audis, but why oh why did they remove the twin tip exhausts.. the dual ones look so much less aggressive :'(
The Last gen TTRS was the same way along with other current RS models like the a7 RS,the models with the dual tips are the S versions like the TTS and a7S
I don't think it's Tony from Gravelwood, I think it might actually be Elivis Costello!
In the High RPM range the TTRS sounded like it had a Huracan or R8 V10 Engine in the video
60k pounds can buy great 2010 Audi r8 v10
Or a brand new TT-RS with a full warranty..
For 60k pounds I would get a new civic, if I could afford it that is. :)
***** It was a jab at the fact that the pound has gone down so god damn much since Brexit. But in all seriousness, for 60k Pounds (80k USD if were optimistic) I would get a used Cayman GTS or a GT4( if I was lucky somehow.).
***** I'm talkin' cars brother.
***** Not my life, I am fortunate enough that the only debt my parents have had has been on investment properties, despite having 8 kids and making 50k(usd) between them.
great vid!
Awesome!
I'm going to buy this car to replace my gen 1 RS :) In the recent Evo test this beat the 718 Cayman S & BMW M2 around a track so this car is a real surprise! I agree Sam it does not have the road presence but l like a sleeper.
get it. thing looks dope
Hi Sam, by any chance were you in Taunton this evening. I saw a guy in Prezzo who genuinely looked identical to you, but I didn't want to go and say hi if it wasn't you.
My question is, what would you have between a TTRS or an RS3? I would go for RS3 plus I think its cheaper....
Love it.
@seenthroughglass: 2017 TT RS or 2017 F-type S? Thoughts?
Parker is living up to his on screen Thunderbird role - Yes me'lady
I absolutely love love love the TT-RS 😍😍😍
you are setting a new standard for TH-cam-Car-Reviews
Here again after the question in today's Roma video about when did Tony first appear in STG video 😁
Damn!! That thing looks savage af!!
haha - "I know what a hairdresser is" that was so funny Sam xD I love the TTRS, but I just feel like it isn't aggressive enough for the price. For 60K you could get a c63, rs5...
Loving the music
The radio comment lmao. Shots fired.
Sam there were hats on you instagram, will they most likely be released by christmas? And did the tt-rs have a sat nav in iT?
Ahh DW, just saw the virtual cockpit thing!
I know it early but are you going to the 2017 festival of speed?
You do great videos Sam.
Never known a hairdresser car than can do 0 to 60 in 3.4 seconds awesome !!
What did you think of the roads of eynsford and farningham? ;-)
Lovely spec. Seems like a good replacement for the F-Type.
I think the rs3 cab will be the one to get . the 2.5t with a proper exhaust is the ultimate daily.
That's a nice sounding Golf!
The Ttrs is a good car but you already have that crazy yellow and good sounding car. Imo you need something more to replace the ftype
This guy's trying to sell the car yet he's saying negative things about it..
Thats what I thought
Knowing the car's place in the sports car / supercar hierarchy doesn't seem negative to me. He's simply being honest.
jeebus2121 But if you want to sell something, sometimes honesty isn't the best policy. However, I'm not saying he should lie.
***** I'm not saying lie, I'm saying he should say good things.
Christian Van Ristell, I took what he said as very positive. He simply knows where the car is in the grand scheme of things. Otherwise he was quite complementary about its sound, the gearbox, the looks, the sure-footedness in poor weather, etc. Perspective being what it is...we saw different things.
I have the TT Mk1, and the lines on it are far nicer. A beautiful looking car from all angles, even now it's 14yrs old. I haven't been inside a Mk3, which would be the next TT I would buy, but it would have to be pretty special as it's looks aren't as good.
Having said that it does look lovely
The "bar" for supercar's has changed in the last 2 to 4 years with so many new models achieving 0-60 in under 3 seconds.
Sam, I invite you when you come to Holland again to drive my MK2 TT RS! including other exhaust and chiptuned
Does it come in a manual?
Love this car
The TTRS is such an amazing car to drive and it just sounds fucking amazing
Audi 5 Cylinder noise is so special
This is guy is pretty funny :-)
Great video Sam!
LOL @ 9:18 we got Ali-G in da house throwing gang signs....
Sam, Ferrari F430 with manual gearbox is your choice, go get it NOW! and make sure it's yellow.
Cool video
Flipping sexy car!
One problem = RS3 Saloon
I would kill for one of those tbh
but the thing is, this costs as much as a 2010-2011 r8 v10 with either a manual transmission or the r tronic transmission, so the question is; which one would u buy coz I know I would buy the r8. I know these aren't comparable cars but u end thinking 5 cylinder turbo vs n/a v10 and they r both the SAME price. just food for thought there.
but one's used the others brand new? can't compare a used car to a brand new car.
Filip Gurcinovski fair enough
Filip Gurcinovski it also depends on what u want; a used supercar or a new sports car and I did say these cars aren't very comparable
Kenneth Dike why does someone always come along and compare a new car price to a used one? silly argument. supercars have astronomical maintenance costs. you're hiding cost. I'd much rather own something with full warranty
bodrulm1 fair enough that's probably why most people would go for tt rs
Sam, I think you should buy the Jaguar F Type SVR!
Really?
Seen Through Glass no.
Anonymous Really?
Seen Through Glass Yes! It would be a great investment as well as a street track car!
yo what reference is your speed master?
You should get a Megane RS 275 as your daily and a Lotus Exige Sport 350.
Love the TT-RS, sick little car now with awesome performance!
Road presence of the general group ignorance is disappointing, for what that car can do unfortunately.
Sam, when are you going to get a 458, has to be some good prices out there now?
458 prices are taking off for the cared for ones. Last NA V8 Ferrari. I don't know if Sam can stretch for one.
Winter price drops are non existent on the 458.
:(
you should get this!!!
Wait.. you have your watch on your right wrist? I thought it was always left
I think the fact it's based on the same platform shared with the A3 and Golf is the reason it's not a supercar. Supercars are from the ground up designed to be balanced and sporty. This is an everyday sedan/coupe/hatch chassis from VAG. It was mostly designed to be a fwd based regular car, so the center of gravity is average and like the golf has a transversely mounted fwd based awd. This doesn't mean it's by any means a bad car, and it's very sporty. But it's an economy based performance car, no matter how great it is, a supercar is design only as a sports car. Still I love the TT-RS and like the vids too.
Sam where can I get your merch? (That beanie!!)
When STG had a TTS miss those times...
Sam, you can buy a Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo from £2500 which sounds identical and nearly as quick!
Love the hat!
The Audi TTRS is a great substitute for the famous Audi R8 and i will definitely wet my hands to have one mate.👍👌
I saw one and sat in it. Honestly, the interior is awesome, but the exterior is kinda meh. I wouldn't buy. If I really have to buy an audi "sport/super car" I'd go for an r8 (even the old one)
It sounds great, but would you ever consider buying one sam?
love the car!
"Demi" supercar which does it all and is very good at almost anything. But now that Sam got a daily car already, the F-type replacement doesn't have to be an everyday car. TT-RS's low-key look makes it stealth and easier to park on the street of London, especially in the night, but now he doesn't even have to do that.
He probably would opt for a more special-looking, more performance-focused car.
Baby V10 sound? Hell yes.
the original r8 was classed as a sports car STG
TLDR; I own one. New Audi TTRS is clocking in at 0-60 in 3.5 seconds which is supercar performance.
It's an impressive machine for a low cost considering and such a small engine compared to it's predecessor, the 2008-2012 R8's.
The older R8's will always have a special place in my heart, but the raw speed of the new RS's...
0-60 is pretty irrelevant; plenty of cars are hitting 0-60 in around 4 seconds, mainly due to launch control and/or 4WD/AWD. It isn't an indication of day to day performance. In gear acceleration times and 0-100 mph are much more informative.
he knows.
0-60 is informative to know how good the car is in corner exit
......if you exit a car at 0mph....
Actually I prefer to know a 0-40mph and 50-100mph (I mean 50-70 obviosuly, travelling over 70 is definately an irresponsible and illegal thing to do...) times over anything else
0-60 is an indication of traction.
This dude in the passenger seat seems he knows a lot about cars! I mean it just is as quick as a V10 R8
