2011 Audi TT RS
 

IF I manage to live long enough then this will be my next car. Has 350 hp with 280lb, 4 wheel drive with a seven speed duel clutch transmission In the meantime I have to live with my 2009 Z

nice..dont know about the color but it still looks like a flattened bug imo...haha

only if it looked more manly and less girly

Well I have to say its anice car and I too would like to have one. Chip it and the TQ goes way up. I had the TT and its a vey nice car and the TT RS is a beast. Dont forget the 5 cyls, the magnetic ride too. And they may not even make it to the states, as of right now. But since we are in a Z forum I will say

be a nice dd for folks with no kids.

it looks like a smaller VW beetle, always thought the TT's looked feminine and stupid, almost like someone took a watermelon and cut it in half and slapped wheels on it. And as far as the 350hp goes, I seem to recall a particular 350hp model of our car... well until you get it on the dyno :)

weight will be on par with the Z (3200 lbs), so if you want a better performer, dont hold your breath. Oh yeah, they cost more.

The TT looks way better in person. Although I agree about it looking a little more fem than the Z. They also look pretty fantastic black w/ black rims, Or like THIS!

wtf is that?

is the tt rs going to be offered in the states? last time i read (which was a long time ago), it wasn't. which really stinks. looks like itd be a really fun car.

I still think the 370z is far better looking than the TT RS. The numbers are excellent, i bet even better as im sure it weighs less, but lets see where the price starts. THe Z will most likely be a better buy

weighs the same as a base Z.

So many people seem to be "settling" on the Z... Do us all a favor and sell your car if you're just hanging on for the "meantime." I for one am content.

I'm noticing that alot lately, which is beyond me, being that our car is under 2 years old... Although it seems the OP doesnt have a 370.

His profile says he drives a Maxima, but his first post eludes to owning a 2009 370z.


Sigh.. Hating on the Z is at an all time high.

My dad just picked up a 2011 TTS roadster in bright orange. Apparently it's the only one in the country. And I have to say, it looks HOT. I'm a little jealous...he refused a trade for my Z. At least my Z still sounds better with the Stillen exhaust and HFCs.

I'm letting him pamper it for a couple weeks. Next weekend, I'm going to show him what it can do. Looking forward to trying the dual clutch flappy paddle gearbox and magneto dampers.

By our own forum members, its a mutiny I say! And even with talks of trading for a Mustang, and one even trading his in for a GTI:eek:

I think you should race him and hurt his feelings:icon17:

I think people have to keep in mind that there are people who have some good income but have alot of responsibilities that keep then from getting the car they really want and get what they can afford. And there are those that might not have as many responsibilities and can afford to spend more on a car. Basically 2 different levels. I for one if I didnt have responsibilities I would be able to afford to pay 80K for a car and I would be in one and not in the 370Z so I did have to settle for something less than I would like to have for now. And I do love the car but its not my dream car I will get when the kids are out of my pocket. Some are already at their upper limit on this car and its a great car too.

Now as for the TT RS right now its not planned for the US but that may change soon. Its a super fast car that will be around 65K give or take if it hits the US. Its a couple hundred pounds lighter than the Z and with the 5 cyl turbo, bolt on mods and a tune will smoke some serious ***, were talking 0 60 in 3.5 secs and with the quattro it takes off like a rocket and handles good and the magnetic ride is cool and the DSG shifts like speed lightning. The body isnt as nice looking as the 370Z IMO but it still looks good and is probably meant as a more prepy look. The TT did win the design of the decade or century and it was what started all the other companies going towrds that style of look with the same curvy frame and metal inside looks and all. Id love to have the 370Z body on that frame and engine and insides. And it does really good in MPG too.

But till the kids are gone the Z is the one for me.

TTS will beat him even stock, chipped Z gets embarresed.

I cross shopped the GTI before I got my Z. I loved the Z compared to the GTI, granted it was chipped..But still it's really apples to oranges in that respect. Funny thing is, I remember reading a long thread over on a GTI forum and a majority of the members chose the 370z over their own GTI's as far as performance goes. The only ones who chose the GTI were because they could haul stuff in them.

No doubt the TT-RS will spank the 370z, but how fair is it to really compare in that respect. They aren't really in the same class. I put the Z more into the sti, evo, MS3, up to the 335i and then stretching to the cayman s...But I say stretch for a reason.

its hard to compare any car to another as they are all different in some aspect. TTS 4 cyl turbo Z 6 cyl but both do about the same performance wise stock so there will always be some comparison as there will be with other cars too. Besides its always fun to compareone to another.

Also I was talking TTS in the last post. TT RS not in Z range, TTS is.

TTS 4 cyl turbo
TT RS 5cyl turbo

I totally agree, we just need to have love for each other when we do it. No internet tough guy here!

Nice car and all, but you say that "you have to live with your Z for now" likes it a bad thing :\

The 370 looks 3x as good as that car imo.

If you read my post yes I like the look of the Z better but its not my dream car or the car I will own when its just me and the wife. In my current financial situation the Z is the perfect car for me.

Meh, still a chick car even in the 2nd generation

yes I had lots of chicks want to get in it with me. lol. Was even able to do it in it.

It wouldn't beat him stock.... 0-60 yes, after that no......

13.2 1/4 mile is not beating him. With all wheel drive it would just get worse after the 1/4 mile.

Car and Driver
VEHICLE TYPE: front-engine, 4-wheel-drive, 4-passenger, 3-door hatchback
ESTIMATED BASE PRICE: $57,000
ENGINE TYPE: turbocharged and intercooled DOHC 20-valve inline-5, iron block and aluminum head, direct fuel injection

Displacement: 151 cu in, 2480cc
Power (SAE net): 340 bhp @ 5400 rpm
Torque (SAE net): 332 lb-ft @ 1600 rpm
TRANSMISSION: 6-speed manual
DIMENSIONS:
Wheelbase: 97.2 in Length: 165.3 in Width: 72.8 in Height: 52.8 in
Curb weight (C/D est): 3200 lb
PERFORMANCE (C/D EST):
Zero to 60 mph: 4.5 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 13.2 sec
Top speed (governor limited): 174 mph

If they are still using quattro the way they were its only 4 wheel when needed and the fwd if not.

The Z doesnt do 1/4 mile in 13.2 stock, alittle slower I think, Plus with the quattro a every day driver can achieve more consistant times than a Z driver with RWD.

The OP's picture is of a TT-S, not the TT-RS which I have added below:

Yeah. I have the same problem with this car that I have with the new mustang. i respect what it can do, but cant stand the way it looks.

:worthless:

... you really think a 2009 Z will out handle and/or be faster than a TTRS? you are on crack sir... pass it after you are done...

TTRS is actually a little lighter than the Z, but has 330+ pound feet and AWD. It should be faster than the Z. I like the TTRS performance and looks wise.

But, the Z looks better to me and for the cost, the slight performance edge could not convice me to get one over a Z...

I will say that this car is bad ***, can't agrue... But I still think a TT or Supercharged 370z would spank it.

2010 Audi TT-RS by AVUS Performance

As we know the TT-RS is a very special model in Audi’s line-up. With its five cylinders, four wheels drive and plenty of horsepower, the ultimate TT-RS sports coupe possesses the same magical combination of qualities as the legendary ”Ur-Quattro”. Audi TT-RS stock engine produces 340 hp and 332 lb/ft of torque, which makes the timer stop at 4.6 seconds for the classical 0-60 mph sprint.

http://www.distrocar.com/2010-audi-t...tt-rs-gt-wing/

AVUS PERFORMANCE took Audi’s ultimate sports coupe performance at the next level. The specialists at AVUS improved the power, aerodynamics and vision of the vehicle. With an adjustable coilovers and gloss black 20“ Sportec Mono wheels with special setup, the AVUS PERFORMANCE TT-RS looks more aggressive and run a lot smoother over counrty roads and race track.

AVUS tuner also boosted the engine to the stunning 460bhp and more than 472 lb/ft of torque. With these numbers the 0-60 sprint lasts only 3.8 seconds and the top speed increases to 194mph. True to the motto „Gloss is out, matt is IN“, the tuner AVUS PERFORMANCE painted the striking TT-RS in matt black (other colors avaiable on request).

Enter Audi’s range-topping TT-RS. As you probably already know, the aggressively styled 340-hp, 332 lb-ft turbo five-cylinder sportscar isn’t available this side of the Atlantic. Audi says it demolishes the 60 mph mark in around 4.6 seconds and has a limited top speed of 155 mph.

http://www.distrocar.com/wp-content/...ad-800x533.jpg

Give it the full Avus treatment and the beast becomes a certifiably tarmac terror with 460 hp and 472 lb-ft of torque on tap that’s said to send it to 60 mph in the 3.8 sec range. Quick, yes, but is it fast? Try a top speed of 194 mph.
These astonishing performance claims come thanks to a bigger turbo setup, reflashed ECU, and a less restrictive exhaust system. Adding in the adjustable coilovers, stickier Hankook rubber, 20-in. forged Sportec Mono wheels, and matte black livery makes this TT-RS one serious badass.

http://www.distrocar.com/wp-content/...ls-800x533.jpg

With a stock power of 340bhp and 332 lb/ft of torque it is capable of doing the 0-60 in 4.6s. AVUS PERFORMANCE takes it a step forward and improves the power and the look of the TT-RS. Adjustable coilovers, gloss black 20″ Sportec Mono wheels make the TT-RS look much more aggressive. Thanks to the special setup which improves the factory suspension even further and makes the TT run a lot smoother not only on country roads. Different setups for the race track are avaiable either.

he matt black skin is something you will probably notice first when seeing the TT-RS. True to the motto „Gloss is out, matt is IN” tuner AVUS PERFORMANCE changes it to matt black (other colors avaiable on request). To give the TT-RS the final touch for the race track power has been increased significantly to a stunning 460bhp and more than 472 lb/ft of torque. 0-60 will be passed in about 3.8s and top speed increases to 194mph. Therefore AVUS PERFORMANCE modifies the turbo, ECU software and the exhaust system from turbo back with racing cats.
Price List:
matt black „vinyl“ – 1.999 Euro
coilovers – 1.299 Euro
modified ECU + exhaust system (460bhp / 472lb/ft) – price on request
gloss black 20“ wheels with 255/30/20 Hankook S1 Evo – 6.400 Euro

It is the high end of VW.

Drove a 09 TT and it was really nice :) floored it a few times and got it up to 110 somewhere in mexico ;)....if you know what I mean....

that flat matt looks pretty cool and if they had tinted the windows it would look even better.

Please don't misunderstand me " I LOVE MY 2009 FULLY LOADED YELLOW Z" but that dosn't mean that there are other cars I desire. Would love to own a Caymen,TTRS,any Vette.Gt Stang, and others just cant afforrd them now. So in the mean time I'll have to suffer driving My Z :rolleyes:

The Z costs so much less and still pretty much equals the performance. Throw in a couple mods and the Z beats the TTS. Win=370Z. Besides, the TTS is ugly and the 370Z is beautiful. And the TTS is still a chick car.
