Well long story, but when I was really young my old man had a audi 80. Now because of that car I became obsessed with audi's and the original audi quattro aka UrQuattro rally car is my fave audi of all time and I dreamt of owning one. However they are now few and far inbetween and are a collectors items meaning a quattro sport is out of my reach tbh to run purely as a weekend/warm weather toy. Then there is the RS4's. Ive always wanted a RS audi. So im sure some people can see where this is going but basically, TT-RS is one dream ticked, 5 cylinder turbo engine like the original audi quattro is another dream off the list. So ive killed two birds with one stone!
It just so happens that the engine is in the TT, have never really lusted after a TT as such, so you could say I purely got the car for the engine.
Jeremy Clarkson described the TT-RS as being "Epic". And you cannot get more manly than Jeremy Clarkson
Cheers mate, seriously looked into getting a GTR but with a bit of research soon found out its all a marketing scam. Running costs are stupidly high. Yes ofcourse you would expect high running costs from a car like the GTR, but bloody hell that car is in another stratosphere. Plus it needs so much TLC, and so many different things can make your warranty void. Running a GTR is like running a rare exotic italian supercar. Its a joke tbh, nissan see the gearbox as being a consumable, and they obviously seem aware of the fact that the GTR isnt that sturdy, because if you were to buy one tomorrow it wouldnt come with launch control like earlier cars did as the gearbox couldnt handle it. And because it has no launch control the 0-60 time has increased by quite some margin.
The GTR really isnt a complete car, a 911 turbo is, properly engineered, lasts and can handle abuse. Plus to run a 911 turbo costs barely more than your 2.0TFSI, have a look on the porsche website for the servicing costs, its really cheap considering the car. Rant over lol.
Na not jonnyc's car. His car is faster still!
