Audi TT RS - more info

Regardless, it doesn’t mean that for Audi to outgun a Porsche is unlikely. Besides, the clinical numbers of 0-60 times are not definitive enough to make a statement of the two. No production Audi in recent times has been a dedicated sporting car except for the TT, now enter the R8. So, lets consider the Carrera 2S...the appropriate rival to the R8. See the recent episode of Top Gear where the two are pitted against each other. Yes, in the quarter mile the Porsche beat the Audi by a nose, but also consider they are driven by two different drivers of differing ability and experience.

The real proof comes out when they are test on the track by the same driver, with the R8 the significant winner. Either way, apples and oranges apply here. Sheer numbers don’t describe the substance of either brand.

A V-8 motivated TT? With Audi’s reputation and proven track record of sensibility, even their consideration of such a project is hair raiser. Or is this just another result of the growing trend of manufactures continued acceptance of more V-8 powered cars?
