- Is the Audi TT a car you buy because your wife wears the trousers? In years past, perhaps. But the 2017 Audi TT RS is a little different, as Ben Griffin finds out in his Recombu Cars video review.

RecombuCars, finally a TTRS video that reclines the seats back! That's one of the reasons the Porsche Cayman turns me off (although it's a beauty). I do enjoy reclining my seat back and taking a nice siesta during lunchtime. I also like how both the Cayman and TTRS are compact not huge like most cars in the U.S. especially the Corvette and Porsche 911.
Great video. Beautiful car. The exhaust note is incredible.
ThatBlueS3 Thanks!
Are you desperately trying to emulate Jeremy Clarkson? You’ve got talent - tread your own path!
the Audi TT 3.2 Vr6 was the baby R8. The TTRS 400 cv is just almost like the R8 4.2.
Love this car!
Ordered mine... can't wait. Like your presentation style! Good review!
Mark Hillenaar Lucky man! Glad you liked the review.
Mark Hillenaar congrats!
Mark Hillenaar do you know which color was that TTRS?
In this video, it's the daytona grey.
Smoke It TV Heah... I whent for the Nardo Gray, preferred it.
Smart review. I'm not an Audi guy but was shown the car at a recent visit to the dealer when looking for a Cayman S. At the price of the TT-RS the new 718 Cayman S looks terrible and the TT-RS looks like the clear winner. The 5-cylinder sound is truly outstanding. I just wonder how easy it is to tune out any remaining understeer, and if the 4wd system is capable to send enough torque to the rear wheels ( I believe it can only do 50%). Still, an impressive car not just for Audi fans.
9000Redline 100% to the rear
Awesome car 😍
I've always thought these cars were sweet, and now this is giving me the difficult choice between this or 370z nismo
Chris Rodriguez The 370Z Nismo has a more old-school, brutish feel. The Audi is more sophisticated and faster, but also more forgiving, which can be a turn off for enthusiasts. I like both, but I think I'd go for the TT RS because it's easier to live with on UK roads and it sounds excellent!
RecombuCars the audi is a sexy machine... but like doubled the price I just looked :/ the next I get I want to trade in my dodge dart to get
Does the TTRS have auto park system like the TT and TTS ? Or is it just park assist ?
n25992 it’s just park assist i.e. rear camera and proximity sensors.
I think for this class of cars it's less so about the performance and more so about the feeling though. With the 981 Cayman still somewhat buyable (if u can find one), TT still feels a little beaten. the sensation of nimbleness with the RWD and mid engine, and the porsche howl just wins it over this (of course this is considering that you do not care about highest speed per dollar value). Of course performance needs to exist, but as long as it's "enough" over the average joe cars, it becomes more so on the sensation of fun. Just don't feel like any torque vec or diff can replace mid engine RWD feeling of intensity or a naturally aspirated high revving engine's sound and air intakes.
What ' Porsche howl' ? Not with a flat four.
Jon Reeves I literally said 981, not 718....maybe pick up some common sense? *oh wait, not with that brain*
Well you are comparing a car they dont even make any more. You must be one of the brighter ones.
Jon Reeves so you're saying only new current models are worth discussing and comparing? A lot of the 2016 models are still brand new and selling at the same sticker price
Jon Reeves I'm simply speaking from pure practical perspective of what cars could be bough. 981 is definitely not yet out of the game, maybe a year down there would be absolutely zero new 981s, but used market still exists.
RS5's steering wheel feel is said to be numb. How does the TT RS compare? You never mentioned..
Anderson C This was shot before the RS5 arrived, hence no mention. All recent Audis have a numb feel though, even the R8 V10 Plus Convertible I had last week. It's hard to say how different, if at all, without driving both cars back to back.
Can you please make a video about the difference between the tt rs 2017 and Audi TT rs 2018. Thank you
We can look into it, the plan is to do more versus stuff.
I think it might only be the engine weight. It's down about 26 kilos, I believe.
I like the Cayman. But when it comes down to a choice id take the TTrs or TTs its more versatile .with the tt ive a bigger boot . Rather than 2 small boots .which are just big enough to get my weekly groceries in .
Very interesting. I'd written the TT off years ago. Nice to see they finally gave it some balls. It's gonna be really hard to escape the hairdresser image though....
Thats 25 years old . Time to think of another
I think its a perfect car for those who can't buy a supercar but wants to experience one. But, I wonder. What if audi removes the pointless back seats and make the TT RS a mid engine car?
Looked at one but the price put me off as well as the waiting list so went with an M2 which I got from a cancelled order from some else, around £10K less
Karl Fontanari The M2 is huge fun, solid choice.
Karl Fontanari don't blame you
The beast has arrived!! Got the TTS with the Meistershaft stainless steel sports exhaust. 0-60mph in 4.9 second's :)
M manlier is debatable
amazing car, great to hear you have one ! :)
@M but then you drive a fking VW Golf and who the fck wants that for that money lol
Flight SGT Danny Boy what colour is the car?
Give it a Stage 1 remap (no hardware) and it will do 190+ mph
Yes baby r8 !!! TT RS 😍😍😍
I'd agree at the bit at the beginning about the mark 1 and 2, but the hairdresser thing was (I thought) banished once the mark3 came about. Not just in looks, but also driving style which was massively improved. The stigma as you say will continue if - dare I say - motoring journos are too lazy to begin a TT review with something new to say, relevant to the latest model. Personally, I will wait for the 500hp Plus.
Chiro Videos TV I was tempted to ditch the usual intro, but I think the image still needs to be acknowledged. After this, perhaps not! 500hp would be brilliant, but that's R8 power and I can't see Audi wanting the two cars to be too similar in terms of output. Then again, if people are willing to pay a similar price...
what color is this?
Think Daytona Grey
I don't care how fast it is
It can't beat the feeling of a rwd
JuanitoRottenFtw Fair point!
That feeling when you find yourself going sideways into oncoming traffic when your rear suddenly steps out unexpectedly. Yeah, really love rear-wheel drive!!
sTTu you have to be really fucking stupid to end up in that position
that's right this is alot better
Which color was that TTRS?
n25992 Daytona Grey.
RecombuCars thank you very much for your quick reply . By the way is the ride comfy like the TTS or stiffer ?
No the guy behind you on the motorway is in a BMW and is generally a blank blank. Lol.
51k u mad? Get a 2nd hand vantage for that and way more kerb appeal!
junior hooligan We compare with new alternatives. There are some amazing second-hand cars at this price though, you're right.
Curb appeal that's a fortune to repair...
David Bern if your lucky enough to afford a £51k car you should be able to tax insure run and fix one!
try mini cooper john cooper works can reach speed same as ttrs with just 1.6t
tebogo radikoro I don't remember the Mini JCW being anywhere near as quick. Or even as comfortable.
you high?
is this a Clarkson knock off? Cringing..
Unfortunately it's hard to do this job without being compared to Clarkson. The relaunch of Top Gear has shown that perfectly...
I feel you man... super cringe to watch as it is almost copy of clarkson and how he did reviews but although it was cringy it was still an enjoyable video and good job to those who made it :)
Fantastic, fast car but a ridiculous amount of money. Better to buy an actual used supercar for that money!
For 50k I would need more elbow room. Great review but it seems like a point A to B one trick pony never get the sense with rs models that you can be silly
It's difficult to get it to slide on public roads, that's for sure! But I reckon the TT RS would be more playful than you think if you took it to a track. Even without the consistency of rear-wheel drive.
Maybe you should do that :) needs to be compared to show it's true potential
brixtonmack10 If we had the budget to take every car to a track, we would :)
Nice review just a shame it gets spanked on just about every track by a Cayman S or an M2. Drove one recently the chassis can't decide what it's doing. Understeer to snap oversteer in a second. Didn't breed much confidence.
Gary Doctor I'd think the Cayman S would come closer than the M2, which is noticeably slower, less powerful and heavier if I recall the kerb weights correctly. Assuming a pro driver in both!
RecombuCars it does it minces both
£51k for a TT?? No matter how fast and noisy - no way ...
51k? Nah. 52 list before you even add options most will want - 56+ at least!!
James Hibbert its 100k£ in india and people still buy it 😂
its 230k in jupdiyna and its so popular there
121,000€ + extras in Finland
faster then that Porsche in your pic
pick some different music
DamedFilms What would you like? I'll get the Recombu Jukebox out.
RecombuCars anything that doesnt sound like shitty rap music rap beats. Sounds like it was made with fruity loops. Really generic sounds. Also seems like you wana be gangster with the music. But the content and you presenting it doesnt really flow. You can try and find some nice smooth jazz/hip hop beats. Just not what you have. Just doesnt fit. Your video production tho is on point man.
DamedFilms Glad you appreciate the production. Hopefully you prefer the music in future videos!
Better off with a stage 2 R. Puts down about the same times, much cheaper, 4 doors and way more storage
I would take rs5
Amsyar Marzuki Bit more practical ;)
we dont care
The poor's R8 NO doubts.
Francisco d. S Obviously if the R8 V10 Plus is an option, you won't regret it ;)
Nice video, love the car.
the first tt was very poor and failed almost everything
then the car is tuned year after year.
it is not a fast car but a car that is tuned time and again.
i think if other cars like ford rs,a45 and just and 2.0t car can beat it
look at john cooper work mini tuned ca reach the same speed as tt-rs
Why's he speaking so weirdly?
Top 100
This guy is so smug.
James Wilkinson Weird you think that.
First comment
When sports cars can hit 0-60 in 1 second and we realise how pointless it is, manufacturers will have to differentiate themselves by making cars that are actually fun to drive on public roads at legal speeds, ie Mazda MX-5
I think if you drove this you'd agree its more fun than an MX5. Point taken but really, be honest :)
Still just a tt mate calm down
AWD for people who can't drive. Dual clutch for people that can't drive. Audi, for people who can't drive
Blake Swan Not a big fan of this car, then? ;)
You're doing a lot losing against this car and it's AWD and DC. The race is over from the start unless you have comparable technology.
HeLo Wow that got dark fast. I hope your day gets better. Cheers!
Not everyone thinks they have to prove something all the time. Every driver, just like every car, has limits. What you do with them is a choice you make for yourself.
What an idiot comment, Post your video you fucking moron
forever a hairdressers car
Like any hairdresser can afford it....
Remywoof,a relative of mine is a rich hairdresser but only interested in mercedes suv lol :(
Of course he is rich if he is from the Vandelay family. He must be giving haircuts to Mr Pennypacker, Varnson and other billionaires
You cant afford either m8.
There are no basis on which you can make such a conclusion
