Audi’s model line-up is becoming increasingly unimaginative. They’ve killed the R8, TTRS, they are most likely on their last RS3 with a I5. So, unless you want to spend north of 100k, you will soon be stuck with 2,5 ton fridges on wheels that are the EV SUVs. The once all-important Quattro sports spirit has left the building I’m affraid.
I totally agree. I’m an A7 owner and the only choice I will have is to go up to a Panamera because the A7 is going bye bye as well
I blame SUV and EV as a whole.
i can’t wait for the ev successor to the r8. it will cost and weigh twice as much, while at the same time being less than half as fun!!
I totally agree with you. I think I may now have to leave the Audi brand and look at others. What a shame.
Can't blame Audi if nobody is buying the TT
Crazy how in the U.S. this car still turns a lot of heads. It’s a classic, combining looks, quality build, and that awesome soundtrack. Seeing the handwriting on the wall, I grabbed a ‘21 and plan to coddle it til it doesn’t go anymore.
Congrats man!
30k extra for wings and a splitter..
Gaad dammit I'm in.
I mean I have one and stage 3 with 50k in mods lol
I am currently driving a 2020 TTRS and it really makes me sad that my favourite car (after the r8 ofc) is not going to be produced anymore. I absolutely love it. It's a shame that they can't build an electric one like this quickly.
If it will go electric it would probably be another SUV "coupe"
If Audi have any intention of making an electric TT, we're probably going to have to wait for battery technology to get a bit better before something like a TT e-tron/e-tron TT or whatever they might call it comes about. The compact, sporty size of the TT would need a small, light, power dense battery that the current chemistries don't support.
They might even just replace the TT with the e-tron GT
@@christhompson4630 There is an electric Cayman or Cayman replacement coming in couple of years. Maybe they could inherit it's powertrain for TT. Like Taycan and E-tron coupe.
@@christhompson4630 Correct. I was thinking Mazda could do what their did with the Miata and bring out a fun compact electric car that just happens to be electric.
If you google the new tt it will show you that it's going to be more of a suv. That's the issue now that everyone and his grandma wants to pick the kids up in suv's which in turn destroys the small car market.
Wished I'd kept my 1999 TT. A truly brilliant piece of original styling inside and out and never repeated.
They’re cheap. Buy another one.
I absolutely LOVE how this car looks. Especially after the R8 "update" this little TTRS pops out even more imo. What a beauty of a car with a beautiful sound track! Too bad it's expensive as hell
Who doesn’t love a reviewer being honest and saying a car isn’t worth the tag? You are a much needed gem to the community for not hyping up a car simply because “they let me review it”
Thats what you took from it's not what he said though, alot of simping smh 🤦 a gem?
@@ftr911drvr you just have to ruin it dont ya
@@ftr911drvr lmao you clown. Go look at any review of any car now and see the reviewers acting like it’s the greatest thing ever because “we got to test drive it and they treated us nicely” then justify the markup simply because they won’t be paying it. But hey, go watch more “how to not be broke” or “best workout” videos and try to escape your tiny body and even smaller bank account
Can you please stop saying the exact same thing on every single video? Rory is good and we all know that, let's get to the next point, an actual useful comment about the car or the video
@@Schervin are you lonely? It seems like you’re lonely
I will keep my 2018 TTRS until all the petrol stations close down. This car is a blast, and I almost never see another one on the road.
You don't see them a lot because it's a small car to begin with, also not practical to have more than 1 passenger. I also doubt petrol stations will ever close down since this will declare war between the industries who pump the fuel and shit.
Nothing beats the TT's iconic design 20 years on. It's also the most practical sports car in its category. I've had a 2008 FWD stage 1 model for the last 3 years and it's a joy to own and drive.
Had mine a year so far.
Yeah i have the 2006 2.0 tfsi and its such a good laugh i love it
2004 TT 2.0 Quattro 225cv...Loved that car
@@midnightcowboy77 it was a 1.8T engine, I had the 225 version too, and the 3.2 V6 Mk1 too
Ive always liked the TT, people used to, probably still do, call the rounded original for hairdresser cars. I have no idea why. Ive always liked the TT and this one is the coolest one. I want one more than an R8... Looks wise. It looks like a baby, more nimble R8. EDIT; very well made video btw
only insecure men call it a hairdressers car
@@rdmz135 or just men with different opinions to yours. Since when is it 'insecure' to think that a design is feminine?
@@xIcarus227 Theres absolutely nothing wrong with calling a design feminine. Thats not exactly whats being said here though, is it? By calling it a hairdressers car you're inferring that the drivers are feminine, not the car. Which is just childish and silly.
@markyes Whatever helps you sleep at night mate
@@rdmz135 The only insecure men are the ones who buy this absolute cretin-mobile. Poundland R8
When I was young the TT was a dream and it’s still a dream, what a pity
You’ll get 1 one day, if you put your mind to it.
I love my 2016 TT! The facelifted MK3 version still turns heads on the road and it has plenty of power to keep you grinning, especially after a stage 1 tune. While the TT/RS is on the way out, the love for these cars will never die imo.
It’s funny, when it first came out, its design was applauded. Then, it was considered a hairdressers car. Now in its last iteration, people hate to see it go… It’s amazing how many phases a car can go through.
I'm smiling.. Through the tears. I'm not even 30, but I feel like I was born in the wrong time. Electrics are cool, but I'm not willing to let go the ICE.
More than a century of history is coming to an end before my eyes. I'm not ready
Heck, in a few years young drivers will hop in their vehicles and say something like, "Siri, take me to the grocery store." No manual transmission, no automatic, no stops at the gas station, and no excuse for speeding tickets! Remember when?
Fell in love with the design in 1999 when I was 8 and knew one day I had to own one. Knowing my window of owning a TT was closing, I purchased my Turbo blue TTRS in October of '22. With cars trending towards hybrid/crossover/ electric, it's refreshing to drive something practical, and faster then most other supercars. Truly one of a kind!
It will never be forgotten
….such an amazing little car….
Wonderful review, Great writing, Lovely shots. Mr. Reid and AutoTrader team , well done !
Sad to see it go
The price of that 1 is ridiculous but I absolutely love this TT. My 2016 2.0 TFSI is brilliant. 1 of my favourite cars. Love the looks. Hate this SUV thing going on now. I like to sit low and only have 2 doors as well. Never owned a 4 door car and never want to unless it's a Subaru Impreza.
How about an Mitsubishi Evo VIII? But I guess those Impreza's in blue with the golden rims are eye watering beautiful.
@@martinsinnombre nah. Always been a Subaru for me. Colin McRae, Richard Burns and Petter Solberg driving them in the WRC. 3 of my favourite rally drivers during 1 of the best times in the WRC driving them has made it my rally car for the road I want. Also the sound of that Boxer engine
It’s probably that expensive because of the limited edition.
I have a 2013 AudibTT Roadster, best car i’ve ever had.
@@codeblue9004 they are great cars. I've owned a MK3 for over 3 years now. I bought a MK1 as a second car in November and absolutely love it as well
Amazing recording quality amazing shots excellent background = This video.
That 5 cylinder needs to be in everything
Had a new Mk1 in 2002. Loved it. This final version is amazing.
Same, to this day my mk1 TT was my favourite car, despite having had many 'better' ones since.
Great review. I love my 2018 TTRS, it’s just such an impressive car and I’m gutted they’re stopping production with no mention of a future TT, even if electric. In the winter months here in Europe there’s little else that can compete with this car.
My absolute fav car of all time, my Mk1 is in the shop I can't wait to have it and drive it. One of the best ever looking cars. Really only downside to this car in my opinion was the haldex system. I think if there was a possible way for a rwd or more realistically a traditional Torsen quattro one it would've caught on so much more. Regardless of its ending in production I will never stop loving all the generations of TTs, a true Icon. It deserved so much more. Great video guys♥🔥
It's a nice car but it's still sad that it has to end
I had the 8j RS and with some nice suspension changes, and cup2 tyres they really can dial in the handling. Sold it during the crazy price rises but loved the sound. Was always worried that if a bill came it wouldn't be small! 87k is crazy but they will sell. As for the public love for suvs that sums up what is wrong with the world
I have a 24 year old Audi TT 225 Quattro that I’ve owned for 20 years. It’s been garaged for 15 years and only comes out a handful of times every year. I love the thing even though I never use it. It’s in superb condition and every time I drive it I remember why I can’t get rid of it
Completely serious, I traded in a 2009 TTS for a Cayman just a year ago. While I love the Cayman, I REALLY miss the TTS. So I literally just bought a 2008 TT, just for commuting. And I couldn't be happier. So long, TT! Maybe in 15 years I'll be able to afford an RS. lolo
@AutoTraderTVv What have I won? A swift kick in the business?😆😅🤣😂
I echo your thoughts about the diff; I was surprised by how 'adaptable' the new RS3 is in the corners, whereas the TT is calculated, predictable. Still, it's an awesome car to drive, albeit not the most fun or the best when it comes to drive involvement/engagement.
It just missed a rear biased AWD system with drift mode like the new RS3 to be a proper sports car.
It feels so strange to live in the era that sees EVs slowly replacing ICE vehicles.
I have a mk1 225 avus silver as a project car I originally wanted to keep the car for a short time to do up and move on, nearly 3 years later I’m still driving it and I love it such a brilliant little car and is so much fun to drive and work on I just can’t let it go and it’s now running just shy of 240 hp just a brilliant bang for buck car. 👌🏻👌🏻
Loving this reviewer! Bring him on more drives. Really knows the specs and info people want to hear.
Many of your videos possess awesome videography and editing, however, it just hit me how equally brilliant the commentary and writing are as well. Kudos! 👏 👏👏
I bought a 2022 TT RS since the '23 isn't coming to the US. I don't regret a thing.
Limited final edition what ever...the price tag for this TTRS is a joke.
TTRS Mug Edition
dont buy it then
It seem like a joke now but it’ll surely appreciate in price over time as its a limited edition
Idk it doesn’t seem that bad to me. It’s the best thing next to an r8 and the r8 would set you back a lot more. The engineering and design and quality of it is really good. Doesn’t same crazy to me for a final edition car before it becomes extinct
I thought this guy was all about electric cars but now he's giving head to Audi for a car that most people can't afford anyway.
So equipment wise, how does it differ from the Vorsprung?
I had a 2009 TT-S Roadster Dark Metallic Grey Pearlcoat, with brown leather baseball stitch seats. Most beautiful car I've ever owned. Years later, I purchased a 2013 TT-RS in Suzuka Grey Pearlcoat. 365 HP made it the most powerful car I had ever owned. Loved it. The new TTs... I couldn't swallow the price increase, so it was the end of the road for me. But I regret it. It's a beautiful car, and... THE BEST LOOKING INTERIOR OF ANY AUDI OR PORSCHE!!!
I sure wish I knew what those 35 additional horses mated to the DCT feels like, but I'm glad I got to experience the TT... twice! I hope it returns!
Mad money. Standard one thanks.....
Unfortunately will not be available here in canada.....they stopped the 5 cylinder engines for some silly reason
Haven’t seen you review the new Rs3, waiting for that
Coming soon...
@@AutoTraderTV very soon I expect as you've just uploaded the R8 and then this TTRS, must be the RS3 next...
Audi Civic. Great drivetrain but horrible design.
I traded my 2022 TTS for a 2021 TTRS a couple months back. The TTS was a fun car, but not nearly as fun as my tuned TTRS😀
What tune? And any complaints about it?
@@ecshredder I had a United Motorsports tune on both the ECU and transmission. In addition I added a CTS intake. No problems.
@@hayderlion19 thank you 😊
I feel so lucky that I bought 2012 tts
Still owning it with stage one and can’t be more satisfied
A good daily sports car
Have the mk2 TTS as a present for myself for 40th birthday 👍👍
Got a 12/2017 model (pre-face lift and pre-OPF filter) it's a great looking and sounding car. Wish Audi had released a more stripped out lighter version (i.e., removed the rear seats like the Audi TT MK1 Quattro Sport) with the new RS3 4 wheel drive. Oh well opportunity missed to go out with a bang.
Just get a new RS3...65k...I did
The Audi tt has forever been my dream car. I remember 5 years ago I was at a random persons house trying to get a 2002 for my first car. Never got it but wish I did
Where was this filmed? Car looks boss as well!
I've owned five TT's. The mk1 was special at the time I had it, but really crap to drive. The mk2, I had a TTS and TTRS, both good, but not great. The mk3 was almost there, I again had a TTS and then got the TTRS in 2019. I sold that last year. Mine was in Riviera Blue, it looked stunning. Well built, reliable, fast, good looking and practical if you don't need rear seats - the boot space is very decent if you fold the rear 'seats' down. Only gripes were crap brakes and ageing tech. I now have a 718 Cayman GTS and got a new RS4 for my daily. I would have gone for a mk4 TT if they'd dropped the new RS3 tech and wotnot into it. Audi, you screwed up dropping the TT, you really have. The TTS and TTRS were the best cars you sold, R8 accepted.
What's the location of filmign this, please?
Australia?
Anyone know where this review was shot/done?
Really love your videos Sir,
Frm 🇳🇬
I had a 1st gen TT. It was an amazing car and I’ll miss the TT lineup.
no Giant Rings logo on rear quarter panel?
Wow beautiful... You just killed the show again💯♥️♥️
let me get this straight 30k more for a ridiculous Wing thats all? Better off going for regular TT RS
I surely hope we see an electric TT in the future. Perhaps with the same platform as the upcoming electric 718
No.
I feel like Audi missed a bit of a trick here. I think the exterior style looks fantastic but imagine if they had fully stripped out the interior, added a roll cage, make it rear bias awd etc to make it a true competitor for the Porsche GT4RS
Was never a massive fan of the mk1, I didn't mind it but it wasn't for me, I've always been obsessed with the a3/s3 and then the rs3. But with this tt I think it's my new favourite, right next to the rs6 and rs3. I know a lot of people don't like audis for whatever reasons they have, but in my mind there is no other car that can get you from A to B in such comfort, speed, safety and style all rolled into one. Infact with any quattro model they are the best thing to get where you want to go, maybe some aren't very fast but I just wouldn't pick anything else. But getting back to this tt, I think I've fallen in love❤️ 😍
A lot of people don’t like Audi’s? They certainly sell a lot of them. Guess it depends on where you live.
To be honest. In 1997 Coupes were really big, so the TT made perfect sense. In 2022 they're really not popular, so I doubt they sell enough to justify the car continuing. To be frank, over the years it's crept up in price and isn't the bargain it once was.
Yea they went from a simple and pretty modest car to one that had a lot of features and luxury interior. It’s like night and day going from a Mk1 to a Mk3.
I remember driving one of these a few years ago.
So much fun!
Always loved this car. If I didn't have children, instead of my A4, Iwould own one of these.
Love the sound of this car
Young police officer pulls me over - you were driving a bit aggressively and that engine sounds very loud.
“I am so sorry. I assure you, officer, this vehicle is completely stock. I was just running a bit late to work at the hospital, and maybe I was following a bit closely.”
Love my 2019 TT-RS - it’s me in automobile form. 108 lb female surgeon. Don’t let the packaging fool you!
A piece of history that will never be repeated. Am a proud onwer of a TTS and the aim is to drive and enjoy it until I return to dust. This is a true iconic design and lucky are those in possession of it.
Looks like some Halfords additions here!
I Own and MK2 TTRS, and it's been a truly great driving experience... excellent looks and shape, enough power 🔋 💪. Exceptional Motor, Overall it will be missed 😢
Definitely on the bucket list TTRS. TTS first though. After im done with the Z. Many cars to try before noise cameras that capture conversations and ULEZ comes to every city and the inevitable high taxation on ICE cars.
I have Mk2 TTRS and I'm in owners club so it's mint in Suzuka. Kelp them that way, prices will go up.
Can't believe they showed the original with showing the first one that came out with a huge rear spoiler that they had to remove
4:07. Presumably they are actually going to make 101 of them, judging by the numbering on the gearknob? 🤔
The TT Mk1 (1999-2006) remains one of the very best looking cars ever, and the later editions blew it by restyling the body, while improving the mechanics.
The owners of MK1 for the most part continue to love their cars and drive them, despite that fact that many of the essential parts are now unavailable. A search for used parts often shows the elusive used part available in Europe only to be prohibitively expensive to ship to the states. And most irritating of all, lots of little plastic connectors break after 20+ years forcing tough decisions.
its siting outside in Europe outside a 100 car park garage down from our apartment building... Wow... I never gonna change my little Audi TT mk1 stage 1... and stage 2 exhaust setup... and twin turbo intake HOLES to let the car BREATHE in the intake department.. obviously it has an intake already, and a radiator infront(where big Audi opening is)...I'm just trying to say this car is awesome to have parked... to DRIVE... man MAN. with a nice backside upgrade I did.. Led(s) tail lights+black colored fit wing, and purple exhaust tips on top of new exhaust pipes fully.... it is AWESOME.... it could look "ricy" but how INSANELY stylish it was... those small modifications do not RUIN the Aluminum colored ... aluminum mostly... I guess.. awesome car :D and then the INSIDE OF THE CAR.. we know Audi in 1990's 2000s best auto maker for interiors... WOW it looks better sportier than the 350z... more ALUMINUM / leather combo EVERYWHERE inside the car... no plastics, actually VERY FEW plastic or carbon parts inside.. mostly only ALU , ALU, alu, hell dashboard had all alu around, hell the radio cover, the e brake, the SHIFTER :D :D
Mk1 is still the best looking of the generations. It’s too bad it never was blessed with a great engine like the 5 cylinder turbo.
@@dogger37JC oh bro it has a GREAT engine. it has the 20V turbo, most of the 20V turbo's were 4 cylinders.. Now it came with the 20v turbo that was 150 hp as well haha.. that is why they called it the hair dresser car, and because of "looks"?
Trust me, I don't know bout the 150hp... but the 225hp, few mods to engine, few exhaust mod... I need to dyno to see over the years I assume I am at 250. Bro The 5 cylinder is barely any more power STANDARD.. this motor I have now, with no changes, easily 300-450 bhp. MY Crankshaft, the heart of the motor, is rated up to 1,000 bhp... I'll take that.
So overall, even the 4 cylinder motor is UNDER RATED I guess if people like you don't know about that, and I would say my 4 banger with 20 VALVES for a 4 banger... almost 2,000CC + K04 turbo inside, making 20 valves... it sounds NASTY. I dare say even closer to the 250 + hp 5 cylinders... In reality its not that much different. and for you to say Yeah the 20V 5 cylinder awesome.. too bad the shitty 20v 225? was not enough? Okay bro.
Im putting my 4 banger 20 V K04 turbo onto the net soon, with decent exhaust... I GARUNTEE it might sound MIGHT sound better than the 250-300 hp MODDED to 700 hp KEN BLOCK Audi 20v 5 CYLINDER... look at that AMAZING sound.. watch when my bullshit video of my car being filmed in a Drone setting.. JUST WatcH when my 20v turbo 1.8 video come out just LISTEN :D You may have to eat your words by that point :D Trust me I could give a fuck what you say, I drive my 20v k04 every day accelerating responsibly... IT sounds insane, drives insane, I love the 5 cylinder of course too but it aint ALLL that difference.. the point is not the 5 cylinders... the point is 4 or 5 cylinders around 2,000C or 2,500 CC WITH a turbo to rank up the motor accell.. and you get the 20 V turbo :D
@@slavche 20V is an okay motor. Sure with mods it can make some power but the 5 cylinder turbo in the TTRS and the RS3 is one of the best engines Audi has ever produced. They took things to another level with the V10, 4.2 V8, and 5 cylinder design.
@@dogger37JC Bro why the hate... Even Jeremy Clarkson who hated on the OG Audi TT from 150 hp, hehe, the 225 hp TT he mentions in the new Grand tours, he says all the Audi motors you say, but then he mentions "Oh the 20V turbo, and.." he did not say OH the 5 cylinder or oh the 5 cylinder 20 v. Jesus. Even The hater, Jeremy :D says 20v turbo.
This is not about me, but with the 225 motor I have, modded out slightly crazy sounds GREAT, accell GREAT, it is like the 500+ standard power car(s) I had in the past.
Lastly, the 225 TURBO k04 has been, online, recognized as an easy 700+ hp car, AND a great ENGINE. why? with a simple new turbo installed, you can push most of the motor parts past 600 to 700 hp, again with a new turbo you can unlock past 450 bhp or maybe 500 bhp MAX on stock k04.
THE reason 225 turbo k04(20v T) is RECOGNIZED as "mad good",excuse the grammar, is because it came with FORGED internals. Forged internals, in this case here, equals Forged Crankshaft, Forged Connecting Rods, Forged Pistons. Ask, why? BECAUSE with a powerful k04 in the tank they cut the compression ratio to 9.0. From what I gather, this means the INTERNALs of the motor then make up for less compression overall ratio, and less turbo activation ( even though k04 is the bigger turbo) this is precisely why this build the 225 has SO MUCH POTENTIAL.. They stuck in a k03, no a k04 turbo but downed the compression ratio... so to get MORE than the previous 150, 180, 200... THEY GOT 225 by INCREASING the internals on the motor.. I CRACKED my crankshaft.. I KNOWWWW the 225 motor has a BRAND different size Forged Crankshaft than the 180 EVEN. For you to call even the 225 k04 20V Turbo not one of the best motors from Audi.. not ONE OF... not the best maybe, but NOT ONE OF?.... okay dog... tell me something about my English on this Essay paper.
Solid bit of kit, outrageous pricing though.
Any TT is underrated.
They should have put the RS3 drive train in this limited edition TT. It just leaves a bit to be desired for this car, especially when it's the last of it's kind.
Shouldn't that be car models being phased out, rather than car brands?
Can you maybe create a video on the topic of AWD Torsen vs Haldex, seeing as how you seem to indicate how the latter used here is not optimal.
Does the TT have no navigation screen? Or is it integrated in the driver instrument cluster?
Integrated
I liked the TT when I played Need For Speed: Underground, 18 years ago.
I'm still driving a MK1 tt 225 and it's so much fun to drive .
It's not practical at all but I love the way it drives so it's here to stay
They’re not that impractical though. It’s a good excuse to not give more than one person a ride 😂 I’ve hauled a lot of stuff in my Mk1. A 55” tv fit in the back with the rear seats down.
Good review. I order one tomorrow.
Sad in the near future only low production crazy expensive ICE new cars will be built! Hopefully people take car of the gems so we can still enjoy them for at least another century!
Truly an amazing piece of art, rare and beautiful / but if you are after something to drive for the money there is so much to choose from at this price point including the fabulous Porsche Cayman or a Mercedes C class AMG to name a couple of German rivals
Love the TT, but hate the body kit, especially that naff rear wing/spoiler thing, on this final edition.
Have had three TT's in the past all Mk1's. Great cars. But if I was in the market for one and it's a big but, I think I would go for a Cayman S
Cayman are great cars but very limited on what you can carry in it compared to a TT. A lot less practical unless you have a second car. I fit a 55” TV in the back of my TT.
Just ordered a TTS, RS was just a stretch too far for me. Shame as that legendary 5-pot engine was my dream. BUT I can survive with a miserly 320BHP and can’t wait.
It's a shame they couldn't put together an EV TT sooner than later. It would have no competitors today if they had - at least until the electric Porsche 718 and the new Tesla Roadster come out (and, spoiler alert, the new Tesla Roadster will almost certainly be delayed again, and again, and again).
As always 😂
Probably this is due to the internal development structure of VW group. I imagine a EV TT will be developed alongside it‘s Porsche platform sibling (probably Cayman or Macan) and also launched in a similar timeframe in the near future after this last hooray of TT RS‘ has ridden into the sunset.
I've never like a TT until I own one.
Where was this filmed?
Best car reviewer by a country mile Rory, hopefully, you will continue despite many of the best cars in the world dying due to the biggest con this side of the "Black Stump" !! Net Zero 🤣
The biggest problem with thai car is that for the huge asking price, they didn't even bother to fit the Torque Rear drift mode and they somehow failed to do a simple ecu remap to give it a bit more umph. What would be the difference in buying a used TTRS and just get some parts off ebay. I guarantee it would cost less, while being a better car and even more exclusive.
The original TT design was minimalist industrial design. This is not, for me it's the wrong design choice for the last edition. That spoiler is horrendous, the exterior design is busy and messy. The interior looks just right to its origin minimalist design.
BEAUTIFUL car apart from the Halfords spoiler 🤪
Had to end one day, great for the value of the Mk2 3.2, TTS and TTRS. IMO the mk2 is the better looking design and will age well. Future classics.
Totally disagree. I think in the long run the Mk1’s will be more classic and have the potential to be collectible. Many because of the design and how much it stood out and how well it’s aged. The Mk2 design hasn’t aged that well especially the cheap looking tail lights. Mk2 TTRS will be collectible one day because of the motor.
The price is not too bad considering that the TT-RS competes with the GT4-RS which is like $80K more.
They should have tuned the engine to 425hp, so they can say "Thank you TT 4 25 great years!"
Genius
@Engineeringexplained did a video on the new Golf R. It said the Haldex isn't the same as a differential with a max 50% bias, its more complicated and interesting than that.
Well the new Golf R doesn't have a Haldex system, it has a Borg-Warner system. The TT RS did not get that Borg-Warner system.
@@vomErsten yes, the golf r has a really cool system, but if you watch the engineering explained video he refers to the Haldex system and what engineers have told him about it. They say the max 50% rear torque transfer is kind of misleading. You can watch it yourself if you like.
@@salzar4431 It's not misleading when he's talking about the TT RS, which still has the Haldex and is physically not capable of putting more than 50% to the rear...unless the front wheels are spinning. Whatever is said about the new Golf R is not transferable to the TT RS.
@@vomErsten with an open differential on the front axle only One front wheel has to completely loose traction for ALL the torque to go to the rear, just like on a classic 4WD pickup truck with no centre differential. I didn’t say it was said about the Golf R, I said the Haldex system was explained really well in the Engineering Explained video about the Golf R. He was contrasting the Haldex system with the system used in the new Golf R.
The final edition should be in an exclusive colour, ,like Blue Rinse 😁
Switzerland has just announced that due to the energy crisis people will not be able to use their electric cars in oder to conserve power and keep the lights on so a change may be on the cards if other countries have to follow suit. Heating and cooking is obviously more important.
I am not really sure about the body kit. I like it then I do not like it because it looks like somebody "riced" the hell out of TT RS.
If you're in South Africa then you know this (especially in this Nardo Grey color) as Thanos. Traffic light murderer, a nightmare for every drag racer. True legend.
So happy i was the last one to get an order through for the rs3 it will also most likely be the last i5..
Edit. They stopped taking orders for RS3's in Germany
Best review show!
