What is that?
3-0 Bi Turbo A7 with about 360 bhp...and with enough torque ..to split up the Beckhams
What is that?
As fast as an RS3 ,where ,it'll handle like a boat.
Get away ye Gif Prince...ye know its beast on a straight road...lol
Yes mate...I'm in the same boat as you...need to obviously see it in the flesh but from the video it seems clear that the bodywork is almost identical to the S3 sedan which I am dissapointed about....it would not have been difficult to push the arches out a bit like the concept...especially as it is supposed to be the spiritual successor to the old RS4 sedan....I guess Audi doesn't want to be 'shouting' too much and trying to look like their competition...but then why put it on the concept and not into production?!? Hope you're reading this Mr. Audi
I like the TTS very much my doubts about it are...the virtual cockpit the novelty will wear off,l love the folding screen on the S3 with the technology package,l don't like the TTS chrome grill,or its choice of alloys the standard rims are too much like the S3's and 20"s which l would have in a new York minute,would be a nightmare to clean but l will get the car for few days after the 16 plate frenzy has pastNo brainer for me as I don't need the rear seats and already have the latest S3, which I've not been too impressed with - so the RS3 would have the same issues for me, i.e. poor driving position, bland looks, etc. The TTS is better looking (way better) than an RS3, has a better interior, better 'tech', more options as standard, MUCH cheaper to run and to buy (the five grand dealer contribution I got helped!) and to drive? I've spent time in both, the TTS is the better car to drive, end of. The only thing the RS3 does better IMO, is make more noise and is slightly quicker in a straight line, but not night and day quicker by any stretch of the imagination. Forget the 0 - 60 times, in real world driving terms, there's nowt in it that I could detect. In fact, I expected the RS3 to be lightening quick, but the two I drove weren't that much faster than my S3. Anyway, each to their own and don't get me wrong , the RS3 is a lovely car, but given the choice, the TTS wins and easily wins for ME. If I was looking for a five door hatch that delivered serious oomph, I'd be looking at a Focus RS. Can't believe I wrote that, but there you go. My brother has one on order has driven one in Belgium when on business. He absolutely raves about how good it is and the press are saying the same. Anyway...
My new florent silver TTS s tronic coupe is due to arrive in two weeks - can't wait!!!
Dicing with death saying this on here but the A7 is a thing of beauty and If I had the money I'd pick that over an RS3 any day.
The A7 is a fine looking beast, just about three sizes too large for the real world in my eyes...

Gotta admit I really like the A7/S7/RS7 ... just faaaaar to big for my needs
Had a 2013 A7 BE BT... great car for motorways as long as they are smooth with 21in 275 tyres. Very smart car in Daytona. As I said great on Motorways which is why I bought it and as long as you have somewhere to park at either end of your journey. Nearly 5m long but not that huge inside.
I'm sure it's all very high quality too RG being the 7 and way up the range.
I've seen the quality in the 5 coming from a mark II TTS but the RS3 is a newer platform and the materials appear to be to a high standard on the 3.
No doubt the bigger cars are great on the motorway and effortless driving ... but no getting away from the big-ness
The 5 is not massive but I find there is a lot of wasted space, for its proportions. The 3 will be smaller externally but seats 5 and is much more usable being a hatch. I'm also gonna like the fact it has smaller front doors which will be easier to get in and out of in my garage ... Coupe doors are huge !!!
Had a Couple of 5's before the & 3.0Tdi quattro Coupe and a Cab. Coupe was great one of my best cars, but Cab was a bit naff really in my opinion. Loved the 5 Coupe and had a 4 Cabriolet in 2002.. Both great cars, had hoped A5 Cab would be best of both but sadly failed on most counts!
these are the rims you really want though.....O M G !
Sorry Matt av got Audi Blood in me...av seen one M2 in the metal, looks really nice cough cough...but l don't like BMW interiors to put it mildly
Someone on here has upgraded the crappy standard sound to *** for I think £180. TT is not an RS..
Am not one for self upgrading anything in a car especially a very expensive one, l will wait for the perfect car saw my first Sepang RS3 today at a Audi forecourt loved it...but l know l don't like the Lunar ss seat's not keen on the design them holes in quilted part

Are the super sports seats in the RS3 different to the S3 ?
They've gotta handle more power and they're RS3 embossed.
Different pattern / stitching too ...
TX.
As much as the RS3 has full leather SS seats in this case l prefer the ss seat's in the S3 if they came in Lunar no perforatations in the seats but they do look nice with the red stitchingDifferent pattern / stitching too ...
TX.
Agree with you 100%. On my S3 Cab I had lunar whi was gorgeous, collected my RS3 last night and never realised that to get Lunar I had to have SS seats, in my humble opinion the standard seats look far better. SS still nice but just a bit too fussy and £795 !
The RS3 does offer 'more' for your money in just sound alone and performance is damn good however at this early stage there are a few things that bother me in my day 1 of ownership and 1 thing that has surprised me (pleasantly).
Why the hell isn't more stuff standard on a car costing this much, like..
Negative - all these should be standard on a £40k + car..
Auto dim rear view
Folding mirrors
Cruise
Privacy glass
Looks like an S-line
Positive
Sound from standard stereo, actually pretty good (had B&O in cabriolet)
Engine noise with dynamic pack - absolutely infectious
Performance - OMG !
Standard wheels - these look great
Alu pack worth every penny, makes the car look very special
At the end of day one I'm happy I went ahead but will add Tints asap and truly wish I'd gone Sepang or Cat Red, Mythos just looks filfthy after 117 miles and some rain, this is going to be a PITA to keep nice .
Will post pics and sorry if thread hijacked slightly,too much vino LOL !!
Cruise control is useless on a car like that anyhow.
Folding mirrors-Ive ordered but not an essential-when do you need them?
I was trying to accentuate the positives for spin140 as he sounded a bit down on a couple of thingsCruise control is handy on a long journey, especially if you don't have access to another car.
Folding mirrors when going down a country lane?
With the others, I agree with you.

Now thats more like it,is it possible?????
