500+BHP, launch control & Welsh mountain roads, that's a recipe for perfection!

Those who have followed us from the beginning will remember Ken's Mk2 Audi TT RS that he actually purchased from Dave, so what will Ken think of the modern replacement to the car that kick started our channel?!?!

I have a stage 2 unitronic 2018 TTRS vert & I couldn’t think of more car for the money - in love every time I drive it and I’ve had it over a year
After experiencing Kenny's 8J TT RS and Dave's 8S, I could not agree with you more!
They are borderline supercars!
Thank you for watching!

You still enjoying it mate ? I heard they get boring after a while since they are just point and shoot most of the time. Im tempted to get an F type V8 as it around the same price . Would you get a different car anytime soon?
@@Ashleycb97 yes mate I do to be honest. I do get the point it doesn’t slide like my M3 prior but it sounds much better and is much faster! It may be going up for sale soon 😪
@@turnbull524 Oh that's good bud that you are still enjoying it !!! Is the reason for sale as a result of wanting a different one ? If I had the cash I would consider looking at yours haha
I saw one today it was a tiny woman in her 50's. I like to hope they know what they are driving. My mother's friends have one and just bought it to impress others they don't drive it hard.
13:22 kenny reflecting on life choices 🥺😂
I keep looking at mk3's as you can get close to 500hp without massive upgrades, but I still absolutely love the look of my mk2. The mk3 is so square and looks squashed, where as I love the chunky flared look of the mk2. Everyone I meet loves the look of the mk2 :/
unitronic stage 1 plus and your already near 505 hp with only a 4'' turbo inlet pipe installed.
Davids car is stunning his Old one was a weapon aswel.
He certainly has good taste! And certainly doesn't cut corners!
Thank you for watching.

My guy dave sat there ripping it up and only using 1 hand 😎😎 proper driver, drew your face was soo funny haven't heard you giggle like that since that faithful night in malia 🙈🙈
He certainly knows how to drive man! Such a nice guy too!
😂😂😂 I will never forget Malia! Some epic memories!
I just purchased a 2017 tt rs in Sydney Australia in Red and the car will be in garage in less than a week.
I can't wait to drive it again and again
Exciting times! Have you driven it yet?
- Drew
@@accelerateyoutube yes, and it was better than I thought... I'm collecting the car in 4 days time!
Had the pleasure to see the car up close and chat a bunch with David , awesome video and nice car !
Appreciate the support mate, thank you!
It is one hell of a machine!
- Drew
As per usual. Amazing video guys 👍
Thank you brother! 🙏
Awesome car and a genuinely nice dude!
It really did blow us away!
Dave is such a nice guy, true petrolhead!
Thank you for watching!
- Drew
Liked & Subscribed ! After watching this I'm ready to do some power mods to my 2018 ttrs!
Really appreciate the support, thank you! 🙏
Well you clearly have good taste in cars! Lol
You'll have to let us know how you get on/how far you go with it!
Thank you for watching/commenting!

I have got 600hp 3.2 turbo tt they bang for a Buck
What an absolute beast of a car!
It really is!
And in person it's so much more aggressive!
Thank you for watching!

From France 🇫🇷. Belle vidéo 👍😉 Super Audi TT 👌
Wow, thank you! 🙏

I just purchased a 2021 TTRS a couple weeks ago. It’s fast enough in its stock form to get me in trouble.
I love that carbon fender so much. Can someone please tell me where can I buy them and how is the fitment?
Congratulations David on the work completed to date looks great! Looks like you have upgraded the suspension, out of intrest what set up have you gone for and where did you get the work completed? ( I'm Cardiff based!)
Hi mt, Thankyou very much appreciated, it has eibach springs and h and r anti roll bars, any work I tend to get done by Vw gwent in Newport
@@davidwatkins238 Thanks, Assuming these are the 20mm Front and 15mm rear? Are you also running spacers with this set up?
Sorry mt not sure on the drop, was already done when I bought the car, spacer wise I run 20mm fronts only due to the wider arches
What an insane build love every bit of it im hoping to get my TTRS to the same level as this, only thing im a tad confused about is the dragy times im hoping they weren't done on a perfectly dry day as my car is stock for hardware but has APR stage 1 and a TVS gearbox map and is running 10.88 in the 1/4 and ive only ever done 1 run and 3.09 0-60 im confused as to how this car with all the hardware and extra power is performing a slower 1/4 mile time if it was damp out then that may make sense otherwise id be looking to get the map tweaked and I know MRC do a amazing job usually
It is an incredible build, Dave doesn't do things by half! Lol
I'm not sure of the conditions of which the times were carried out unfortunately, they are very impressive cars!
Thank you for watching & commenting!

Beautiful 😍
Where can I get the hood vent? I know I have to cut it in...thx
Hi gents,
Like Your work, love TT’s! I own a TT Mark 1, 3.2V6, standard, with DSG.
Looking for a TT/RS (2016-2018, without OPF)….
Question: like Your T-shirt/Black; will You do merch as well in The future?
With regards, Stefan (Netherlands)
Hi Stefan,
Apologies for the delay!
Really appreciate the kind words! I have always liked the Mk1 (probably still my favourite TT) and the 3.2 V6s are certainly getting rare now, you have great taste sir!
We have trialled many brands for our merch, and with a lot of them we are simply not happy with the quality if we are putting our brand on them. Kenny is working tirelessly to find a brand that has the quality, but allows us to keep the cost down for you guys, our supporters. Once we are happy with the final product we will make an announcement, and we will happily ship them around the world!
Really appreciate your interest, and thanks for watching!

Dudes... Hook me up, I need to have a go in that passenger seat. That thing looks mental, fair play.
Anytime bud : )
would absolutely love to know the wheel set up?
Awesome car, sounds like a turbocharged Gallardo. I'm hoping to get my hands on a manual one soon . . .
They really do. I owned the 8J that we featured at the start, that was a manual. Very quick cars. So underrated.
Thanks
Ken
@@accelerateyoutube yeah, I was impressed on a test drive, and the car was 100% mechanically stock. Still would trounce my modded WRX which I need to sell to buy it 😩
OMFG......I absolutely love this car, I really need a lottery win I just love it so much 🤩🤩🤩..thank dave his car made me subscribe
It really is something special!
You have to see it in person, the presence really does rival that of a supercar!
😂 we really appreciate the support!
Thank you for watching!

GET ANOTHER ONE KENNY BOY!!!!
He always says he will, one day!
- Drew
Can ask where did they buy the alloys from they look much better than the original ones I got on mine
The wheels are Schmidt drago hellcat and imported from Germany
I have a MK2 TTS, I love the wing this TTRS has, does anyone know what it's called or where I can get it?
Apologies for the delay, ot is a beautiful wing. I will see if I can get in contact with Dave and find out some information on the wing.
- Drew
@@accelerateyoutube Thank you very much, I greatly appreciate it
Does such tune up also reduce the turbo lag?
Unfortunately we have not experienced the car in standard form, but I'll see if Dave can answer for you.
- Drew
What exhaust mods does this beast have?
Only a V10 comes close to this sound.
The only exhaust mod is a rogue performance down pipe the rest of the exhaust is standard
What year model is this beauty ?
It's a 2017 model.
- Drew
this is not for you purists, but ive a mk3 diesel mapped to 260bhp, nowhere near as quick of the line as this beautiful beast, but I live in the highlands of Scotland, and my car gives me smiles per mile, it just loves the twisting roads sling it into any bend and its like a wee go cart I only use the brake when stuck behind a caravan, but on the first straight I just floor it
ps same wheels and tyres the 20 inch are great
We always tend to displease the purists with our modified cars!
Modern diesels have come such a long way, so I have no doubt that at 260BHP (and I imagine, a shed load of torque!) your MK3 would certainly put a smile on anybody's face!
Thank you for watching!
- Drew
I live in Highlands aswell where about are you?
@@audittrs2885 I live in Kenmore Perth and Kinross, Central highlands
@@paulgreen758 im inverness thats why i not seen you in your car then
@@audittrs2885 id love the TTRS, but sadly funds not available, I was up in your area a while ago im mainly a photographer, trying to make a name in the landscape world, going to Applecross in June, so ive just done the best I can with my diesel model
Every day of the week! R8 is cool bit the baby R8 is much better imo but then I do own one
running pump gas or high ethanol?
It's run on 99 octane (here in the UK)
- Drew
Where did he get those fenders from?
I will try and get in touch with Dave and find out for you.
Thank you for watching!
- Drew
@@accelerateyoutube I certainly appreciate that. Thanks!
They are muecke wide fenders
Wait till you drive Betsy next weekend, & she is manual :)
I was actually thinking of you and Betsy after filming this! Lol
I remember thinking "this power in an Evo is going to be ridiculous" 😂
So looking forward to it mate!
- Drew
@@accelerateyoutube She is bonkers :) you cant breathe under boost :) see you both next weekend.
DOPE
Manual for me everytime. Test drove many cars before i got my 8J manual and the only reason id go to DSG is for the mk3 and that says something. Yes id have a mk3 in a heartbeat but the DSG wouldn’t be by choice
I am a manual guy at heart, but the performance if the DSG is very impressive.
I believe if you are looking for the best figures, go DSG. But if you want to just enjoy the drive, go manual!
Thank you for watching.

Hey .. he is my bud..
I’ve got a TT RS Roadster & a RS6 C7 Performance running around 740. Only had the TT a few weeks, it’s standard & been honest I don’t think acceleration wise there’s a lot in it. Once rolling the RS6 has it, so much Torque. You get the sense of speed more in the TT I reckon.
Wow, good taste in performance cars! Lol
That's mad, similar performance but I bet very different experiences. Like you said, I imagine the sense of speed will be greater in the TT.
Thank you for watching!
- Drew
@@accelerateyoutube Thank You. The RS6 Feels just planted. Young Lads applaud and give it the old ‘rev it’ sign when they see it especially when it’s in Sport with the exhaust in full send anti social setting. I’m told in the dark it spits the odd flame. The TT RS has the pops and bangs but nothing on the same level, not in the same ball park. It’s super pointy compared to the big estate.
What’s the Most Fun…………..? Depends what you want, if you want theatre & attention (the RS6 is Nogaro Blue) the bigger car is the one but if you want to fly under the radar in a hairdressers car to most people the Roadster is just the ticket.
The R8 has an inherently much better chassis
I do agree, the R8 was obviously purpose built as a supercar.
Having experienced an 8J TT RS, 8S TT RS and a V10 R8, the TTs felt more capable being thrown around corners but I do think that was down to the R8 running Pirelli tyres which really let it down.
Thank you for watching.
- Dree
Obviously but also 3 times the price
What a stupid title
What a stupid comment
A lot of modified TTRS and RS3 engines failing. Tune them at your peril folks.
Good editing.
Thank you, really appreciate that! 🙏
