The 2021 Audi TTRS Is Audi's Most Underrated RS Car?! 

Cheers dude

TTRS does not have the same set up as the new RS3. I had the current TTRS and recently drove the new RS3, it would wipe the TT's arse. Sorry to burst your bubble bud. The TT is an 8 year old design and it shows.

@@luciussander8217 when u say new u must mean the 8Y though? ofcoursei t doesn't compare to that

@@luciussander8217 How is that when the TT is 60KG lighter?

And has a whole 10 more HP but I do believe it’s a little faster by a hair. However I promise you this the TT RS turns more heads then the RS3 period point blank bottomline lol! I’ve even had it mistaken for an R8 lol that alone makes me glad I picked the TT RS. At the end of the day one looks like supercar the other looks like a kitted S3. Lastly, I just have the tune and dwnpipe so I’m much faster then any stock RS3 and I don’t daily it so it’s rarely seen which makes it even more BA IMHO!! Both fantastic cars though!!

Agree great daily car!

Congrats on the car man

I heard it's great but the tail end won't drift/slide. True?

@@tanishazoa138 I’ve not once managed to get the rear to slide out. It’s quite difficult to get anything to slide out with this thing, even understeer is largely over exaggerated. It’s pretty glued down. At worst you’ll torque steer if you slam your foot down on a sharp corner.

@@Captainrave thanks

Yes had my 18 plate TTS Nardo grey a year & half now had the engine stage 1 tuned & it’s a rocket machine however I now have the itch for the RS now just love the difference the v6 noise gives you over the flat 4

Thanks!

Thanks man

Nardo grey lol.

Find a good used one. I’m a month into my ‘21 Glacier White with 9,000 mi. but soooooo happyyyy.

Mk3 cane out in 2017 internationally and 2018 in the states... Not sure where you're getting 8 years fromyhe mk2 ttrs came out in 2012/13 i believe

They are very different cars mate. The TTRS won’t be as fun on a B road nor can you switch power to the rear wheels as much as you can from a GR. The rs is of course the quicker car and interior will beat the GR hands down. I love them both and you will be able to drive the GR harder than you can the TTrs without losing your license! Lol

@@StefABtv appreciate the reply mate! Think I'll stick with the GR for now 👍

That would be nice but it would make the ttrs heavy and more expensive. Haldex has its advantages.

Went from ttrs to RS5. The 5 is awesome. But I pick up my 2nd ttrs next week. Totally different cars. Loved the 5. But the tt is just so much more compact and the better and more sporty driving experience in my opinion. Both phenomenal motors.

😂

drive the new RS3, quite a revelation in terms of dynamics I can assure you

One word: Exclusivity 👍🏻

Lol

I'm sorry have had both sitting side by side and there is zero similarities.

say something original mate - have you driven one? I know the answer to that... hardly a hairdressers car - I had a 2020 TTRS, sold it recently. fantastic car, - fast, engaging to drive, good looking, I could go on. Only starting to look dated now, but not bad for an 8 year old design.

@Lucius Sander that's great, good for you. You are entitled to your opinion & I am entitled to mines. It's not a car I'd want to own personally.

It barely understeers.

A 12 yr old? Lol so that makes it bad? People say that about Porsches. I own a TTRS, not just giving it a go. When you OWN one and drive it hard you can dive into a corner and blast out of them. Handling is absolutely fun, but being an awd car you can’t drive it like a rwd car. That’s what my friend thought. Awd is all about grip. My R8 is able to kick its tail,out but grip of the TTRS in any weather is awesome.

If it understeers on the road, then yes, not good. If it grips and then grips even further, the term like on rails springs to mind, what's not to love?! Well obviously lack of oversteer. In which case buy rwd!

@@James-RJM even rwd understeers but awd gets talked more so because by nature they have tendencies that’s specific to the platform.

@Ultraman As the above and other comments from me point out! Much of the understeer issues are actually the tyres/driver's skill and knowledge. Many VAG performance cars actually are shod with average-shite tyres!! They're more interested in their financial agreements vs driver satisfaction. Applicable to ALL manufacturers... Had countless fwd hot hatch cars and all did it still, but much less with better tyres, until my last car, i30N performance pack and current GR Yaris. The N had a front e-diff. My GR4 is actually the non Circuit pack, in convenience/luxury pack guise, so no torsen lsd's, open diff's and grips like a bast..rd!! Again, tyres!!! Put f1 asymmetric 5's on mine from day 1!😍 Upgrading the tyres resolved 30% of earlier car understeer issues. Learning to drive properly in a month's police driving course also removed 40% of many naive understeer issues! Easing off the throttle and unbalancing the car is a common mistake. Likely taught by driving instructors when driving like a snail!! For road use, not track race line's etc, the police roadcraft style teaches IPSGA. If one learns that, they'll save heaps on brakes and enter corners with slightly less speed but keep the squeeze, when many brake, keep the car planted and stable and exit with gas as they are almost past the road curve. An exhilarating feeling. Learning the limit point also, effectively, allows one to take unknown sharp bends like a psychic. On the road, with competence and experience, most awd's with DECENT rubber will be incredible in slippery conditions vs fwd or rwd.

@@James-RJM bro rwd tend to oversteer and awd tend to understeer. That’s the tendency of the platforms. Either can do the other, but they have basic traits per platform. Mod engine cars tend to be neutral depending on the shock and spring set up. Rear engine drive cars lie Porsche was called the widow maker because of snap oversteer. Now the S/S setup it is reduced severely but when pushed can still snap into oversteer. It’s basic principles. Obviously you have knowledge but how many people drive per an instructor? When I got my R8 it was my first awd and mid engine car and it drove so different than any car before it. I also have an 18 Audi TT RS and a 2021 Supra. All 3 drive different and are a blast to drive. Also my 16 Honda Civic 4 door. Lol

Yeah the R8 is a different animal. Agree on the lack of theatre but I really like it. Think it’s a great car to use all year round.

I chose this over an R8, but then the R8 is less capable most of the year round on European roads and too much effort as a daily. As I track weapon I’d take the R8, but then I don’t track much anymore.
