Best review and driving on TH-cam. Nobody else got on it like this dude did so I could hear the engine and get a feel for what this thing can do. THANK YOU!
Just ditched my AMG for a TTRS. I considered many cars, but you just can’t beat the power and grip of the TTRS, especially in the UK where it’s often damp and cold, but the TTRS still gets all the power down. It’s the best car I’ve owned, I prefer it over a 911 and R8. You’re spot on with everything in this video.
Aash Unce makes no difference when you floor it, all dynamic does is stiffen up the steering and suspension. The acceleration is the same on all modes when you plant your foot
@@glenclough9080 Dynamic mode is where it is programmed to deliver the best performance it can. This statement is taken from Audi. This means quicker gear shifts and throttle response. Tested out in my Audi. Can confirm.
@@glenclough9080 all new Audis have an acceleration over-ride once you press the throttle enough to trigger the sensor. Near flooring it you feel a 'click'. That click is an engine management over ride to force the car to do it's most aggressive acceleration mode. I had to study modules sent by Audi when I was selling them. These switches are across the entire line up. It's basically a "floor it" button that the pedal hits. Sometimes you just need all the ponies!
Excellent video Stef. I'm a massive TT fan and really love the new TTRS. Its a totally stunning car and is definately an amazing package. I'd love to get one but it always comes down to total practicality. Cant wait to see more.
I own a pre facelift MK3 TTRS and had a test drive of the new facelift last week. I can definitely tell you it’s lost a lot of the pops and bangs and feels a little slower weirdly. However I love the new spoiler
Completely agree, love the new spoiler, miss the sound and the drop in power. I’ll keep my pre facelift a little longer. It’s a brilliant car isn’t it.
Alright mate 👍🏻 great to see another video fella 😀 the TT looks fast, how are AUDI allowed to have a car that sounds like this from Stock & yet BMW have to mute all theres 🤔 I can see you enjoyed driving this 1 though 👌🏻 great content again 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I looked at one of these as a daily driver....but after seeing the rear leg room and limited head room I thought it was only practical as a two seater. Guess I will stay with my GMC Acadia Denali for my daily family mover. When I want style and fun it is always my 4C LE. After 4 years it is still fantastic fun car. Hopefully Audi is getting better at making their cars less of a under steering car.It has always seemed that the handling just isn't there although the engines are very nice. But while any car can be fast and powerful....there are a lot more things it needs to do to get my attention....like handling, sound, gorgeous looks, and hopefully a timeless design.
They work on removing the understeer to a point, and only to a point because if they actually do get rid of it then they step directly on Porsche...and that's not allowed.
pretty much the same size as the mark 2.Space back there is useless if they are taller than 5'7.I'm 5'8 and I would suffocate back there.The head room is the biggest problem in my opinion.But pretty useful to carry 2 friends for a short trip, max 30 minutes or they would get scoliosis
What a slick production, like the heart beat introduction Stef! Mad skillz production. I will still go for the 4C or stick with my analogue preference of cars. The TTRS is a hell of a sexy car but it sounds synthetic, mutted and would perhaps feel over computer aided when driving. A sports car is mainly about the drive, the sensation and the emotion. However, That interior is on a different level, sumptuous luxury so synonymous with the Audi brand, I can see why you recommend it as a good daily compared to the fiery Alfa 4C, just like wife and the mistress comparison.
A tuner with one extra cylinder. My dream car By the way, it sounds like a V10 because it is half of a V10. The V10’s sound is based on two 5 cylinder heads. 10 cylinders, one crank, two heads, 2 sets of DOHC, 2 sets of valves. That’s why the exhaust manifold from a gallardo will fit the engine block of a Volkswagen in-line 5 perfectly
Damn straight, It is a shame that cars are getting quieter from the factory ... but yes i'd always take a car actually existing which you can then mod the exhaust on if you so wish, than it never existing at all! At some point in the future we will all be driving quiet electric cars anyway so might as well enjoy what we have now, even if it isn't quite as wild sounding as past generations!
No way. The mk2 TT RS is very dated when compared to a mk3. I owned a mk2 TT RS and the mk3 TTS (yes, the S version, not RS) is as quick (if not quicker), handles WAY better and looks WAY better. Interior wise, no contest with the mk3. So, the mk3 TT RS, which I now have, is a massive improvement on the mk2 TT RS, which was always a bit of 'let down' car to me - mk3, definitely not! Albeit sound wise, my new car is a bit muted, so will be sorting that with some tuning... manual box? Who cares - the auto is so good, a manual just seems pointless to me.
Yeah, probably thrashes it in 0-60, quicker 1/4 I believe. Better infortainment system, all weather capable, bigger tuning potential, looks better (I appreciate this is subjective!) and sounds better, again subjective!
Zazu for tuning you can achieve 520 cv. With Alfa easy 620. Acceleration 0 to 200 km Alfa is faster. O to 100 are similar. Infotainment better Audi. On track much better Alfa. TTRS is ultra understeering.
M B Yes but the Alfa is 503bhp standard compared to 400 on the TTRS, both get similar gains on remap if your figures for the Alfa are accurate. But TTRS is not similar 0-100 though, stage 2 easily get 2.8 seconds, and low 10s 1/4 mile. What you have to remember is although the Alfa has more power it’s also heavier and rwd. TTRS lighter, 4wd. For a more purist drivers car yeah possible the Alfa due to rwd and 50/50 balance. But there is little understeer on the new TTRS, the Mk2 TTRS, yeah quite a lot but the new one, a lot less!
Facelift noise neutered thanks to WLTP, the engine is still the highlight. But despite the mighty engine and the beautiful build quality the TTRS is still fitted with one of the most aloof, uncommunicative chassis known to man. This trait was almost endemic in past Audi RS models (R8 excepted), not helped by 4wd and the engine been so far forward in the chassis. This probably reached its zenith in the first RS3, a car which felt like its steering rack was manufactured in wood. Performance is intoxicating no question, but honestly if you want some fun with your raw speed back to back an M2 Comp or a Giulia Quadrifoglio with a TTRS, it will be revelatory. Might be fractionally slower getting to your destination but you'll have a bigger grin on your face.
Mark Phillips. My opinion is based on having driven all of the motor cars I have mentioned. I’m lucky in that I’m in the motor trade and get to drive few cars so my opinion is totally objective and not influenced by emotion. I stand by everything I have said previously. It’s not by accident that most of the unbiased reviews posted by professional journalists in the press pretty much concur with the comments I have posted. But I’m sure you will enjoy your car irrespective of the groundswell of opinion outlining the issues I have mentioned. Horses for courses.
@@Captainrave I have driven two to date. One standard wheels the other on 20”. Both were the aloof, inert and wooden but the one with 20” wheels had an extra layer of brittle ride quality. As I stated originally it is significant the vast majority of motor journalists concur about the dynamics of the TTRS. Subtle and communicative it is not. Your comments are obviously subjective, you did after all purchase one but if you want a comparison go and drive the 2022 RS3 to see Audi can make a chassis a little entertaining.
@@thehairbarebunch1 sure, there are better weekend and track cars for driving dynamics. The TTRS can’t be beaten as a daily driver on less than optimal road conditions.
Getting a lot of facts about this car wrong and FFS, stop calling it insane. That fuckwit from SC of London keeps saying that. Don't stoop to his level please.So, this 'review' is OK if the sound is turned off... I've actually got a Glacier White TTRS sport ed on order, although mine will have alcantara seats and I'm losing those wheels for some Eta Beta's in black... going to swap out the exhaust as well, as this car sounds very muted compared the pre-facelift version.

Get one 😋
9.8s quater mile would be a full prepped drag car. Street car with only the must have stage 2 mods more 10.5-10.9s
Mum got this
Currently driving my 4th Audi in a row and was considering a 911 until experiencing the TT RS. The rings win it again.
Brilliant car isn’t it

Fantastic car and sounds insane! I own the TTs and love it 🏎💨
That 5 cylinder roar! Amazing. Great video Stef. Cheers, Jon.
Your honesty is appreciated Stef. 🙋
I have just bought a standard TT quattro roadster and I love it quite quick enough for most UK driving
Canadian subscriber here and your love for the true nature of the 5 cylinder is something to be cherished. Can't wait to buy mine in 2020
That climb to 175mph was on comfort mode too, not dynamic. :)

Thanks man

I think with a full aftermarket exhaust system it will be as fast as the prefl, what do you think ?
Completely agree, love the new spoiler, miss the sound and the drop in power. I’ll keep my pre facelift a little longer. It’s a brilliant car isn’t it.
Great video as always 👍🏻
Thank you
Fast car, can’t wait to watch this !!
Kung Tita enjoy man
Who needs an R8 when you can have this? 🤔Great video Stef!
Thanks man
I actually prefer it to an R8. It’s got much more usable power, especially in our road conditions in the Uk.
You review the right cars Stef, got a great taste in cars mate !
pat cheers dude
Great video mate! I've got the TTRS18 myself and love it,but this is mark3 facelift not mark2*
Thanks man. It’s a mega car. Bet you love yours
Technically speaking it’s a mark 2 TTRS - there’s only ever been 2 versions. I have an 18 plate also. Great aren’t they 😃
@@jacobpablo13 You must be so fucking stupid This TTRS IS MK3 facelift !!!!!! TT is on its 3rd gen OMG people is soo dumb this day :(((
Great video, that thing is a beast. It's no looker though.

Thank you! Yeah loved it!
Had a MTM Mk 1 with 320bhp which was fun until it broke - 400bhp must be scary - great review!!!!!
5 cyl do sounds very nice !! I got an S3 saloon now ! Those Audi are so freaking nice ! 👍🏻👌🏻
Great review Stef, I am also obcessed with Audi 2.5ltr 5 cylinder engine! Keep it up buddy! 👍
what a way to start a video!!! Great engagement GREATT!!!
Thanks!

There is a ton of headroom in the ttrs . More than s3 & rs3 . One of the reasons I chose the car.
Best car on the market in my opinion. Better than any EV. Yep. Great on gas, too.
The TTRS sounds great. My question is, is it possible to sit in the back seats if you own legs?
If you are a tall driver then rear seat space is a challenge lol
No - my kids can't even sit in the back of mine unless cross legged - doable but wouldn't recommend long trips
I feel your pain mate. My "young un" is only 15 and he's nearly 6 foot. I wonder if they do a stretched version lol.
Nope
pretty much the same size as the mark 2.Space back there is useless if they are taller than 5'7.I'm 5'8 and I would suffocate back there.The head room is the biggest problem in my opinion.But pretty useful to carry 2 friends for a short trip, max 30 minutes or they would get scoliosis

Just picked one up. Going APR Stage 1 soon!
Thoroughly enjoyed this one Stef!
In Australia these are so expensive which makes the RS3 FL 2018> a great deal!
Keep the great content coming man!
Incredible video. 👍👍👍
Mate if they do the ram air induction get it, it changes the whole sound of the car awesome
"What a car" indeed!
very very good car
Great minds think alike. I will be adding a 2020 ttrs as a daily driver alongside my highly tuned Alfa 4C which is only for the track and sunny days.
Baby r8 ❤
Not so baby with a tune
Better than an R8 on most roads.
These things are monstrous
The only thing quicker are the velocity of endorsement points landing on the mat.
Amazing review ! how does it compare to the M2COMP ?
A tuner with one extra cylinder. My dream car

Nice. But RS3 is the better choice? Surely
Hi
I have a question.
Will they continue Produc TTrs in 2023 as well ?
Love your videos but I do have a question for that price wouldnt make more sense to get the c8
Depends what you like I guess. Personally would have the RS.
I can definitely respect that I'm very biased to lotus alot of the time haha
Just hope the price goes down sooner or later
Damn straight, It is a shame that cars are getting quieter from the factory ... but yes i'd always take a car actually existing which you can then mod the exhaust on if you so wish, than it never existing at all! At some point in the future we will all be driving quiet electric cars anyway so might as well enjoy what we have now, even if it isn't quite as wild sounding as past generations!
Is this with OPF?
Shame it's the last ttrs apparently there not making it anymore
would u have the 4c or a stock tt rs? 😁
If I could only have one car prob the RS. The 4C is a challenge to daily. My current circumstances all me to use the 4C as a second car so I’m good
the Value of 4C will grow for sure! Audi TTRS No. However As Daily Audi TTRS is an Amazing Car
Stick TTRS every time for a daily. A 4C or the like is hard work and you’ll rarely get the full potential out of it.
My mum has this car now
Just pick up a MK2 TT RS. Have some manual transmission fun, albeit .3 sec slower 0-60, but for half the price.
No way. The mk2 TT RS is very dated when compared to a mk3. I owned a mk2 TT RS and the mk3 TTS (yes, the S version, not RS) is as quick (if not quicker), handles WAY better and looks WAY better.

Hey stef are the new RS3s going to have a 2.0 engine? 😢
Shaylan Singh hope not!
They won't have 2L engines. This is Audi's most historic engine and it will probably never go away from the brand unless everything goes electric.
Does the TT RS do anything better than the Giulia QV?
Gabriel Flores NO !! But may be with a bad weather it is more usable!
But with Good Sotto Zero Tyres Giulia QV works well.
Yeah, probably thrashes it in 0-60, quicker 1/4 I believe. Better infortainment system, all weather capable, bigger tuning potential, looks better (I appreciate this is subjective!) and sounds better, again subjective!

Yes stage 3 at least
OP BLOODY F MUTING IT ARGHHHH
Optical Flow at least there still is a TTRS. Damn regulations 😂
Stef ABtv
Agree 100% if it keeps these cars being made perhaps there will be a sports OPF 😂like sports cat ?
not trying to be rude, but how do people with low subs like you get your hands on a car like that from audi for nothing?
You big up every car supplied by a main dealer not either the video time
e
They're so over priced! 140k here in Australia. Can buy 2 rs3s with that money
Great car but lacks the charm and character for me personally
Thank goodness for tuners because it's slower than the old one and sounds worse. Such a shame.
