The TT RS is already a rare vehicle in North America with only about 1000 imported, and no longer being imported.  The car you are bidding on is even more rare and inconceivably fast with the full Audi Performance and Racing (APR) Stage III upgrades which boost horsepower up to 665 hp on 100 octane.  The potential is awe inspiring but this is still a very comfortable daily driver which I use to commute regularly.  Around town gas mileage is around 24 mpg, which is the beauty of a turbo - power when you want it but not constantly guzzling gas when taking it easy.  But if the mood strikes, this car can run 0-60 in under 3 seconds in the right hands.

I am the second owner having bought it with 500 miles on it from an exotic car dealer in Indiana, Abreu Motors.  The drive train upgrades were done around 9800 miles by authorized APR installer European Legacy Motors in Houston, TX and includes:

APR Stage III GTX Turbo

APR Intercooler

APR High pressure fuel pump

VWR High flow cold air intake

Sachs clutch pressure plate and disc

APR turbo-back stainless exhaust and high flow cat

APR ECU tuning with all programs and settings and lifetime updates

Goodridge stainless brake lines with Motul fluid

Motul coolant and engine oil

42 Draft design 8 mm wheel spacers

Brembo brake pads

Denso Iridium IKH24 spark plugs

Price paid for all parts and labor is $28,000.  The car and upgrades are 100% paid for with a clean title.

The suspension is 100% stock, and is that for a reason - the stock set up with normal and sport modes is so good that there is nothing on the market that can improve on it for performance and comfort in a single set up.

This supercar does not have the factory fluff like high-end stereo and navigation or sunroof.  It is performance oriented and those things are unnecessary weight.  I don't miss it one bit.  It does have power heated seats and XM radio.

This car has never been damaged but I did repaint on of the factory wheels for this auction which had a touch of curb rash.  It is as clean as they come, non smoker, no drive thru meals, and detailed (too) often.

I had the pleasure of running this wee beast on the Circuit of the Americas track for a weekend with MVP Track Time in February this year.  The car performed flawlessly and was a joy to drive. The turbo is smooth and gives gobs of torque, the brakes are very reliable, and even the stock wheel/tire combo works well.  Even on 93 gas this TT RS is neck and neck with a Porsche GT3-RS or Turbo - for a fraction of the cost.  The Sachs clutch is a just as easy as the factory but has a short engagement so shifts are fast and clean.

Shown in some of the COTA photos are a set of white O.Z. racing 18x8 Alleggerita HLT wheels with BFG R1 245/40ZR tires which are about 12 lbs lighter each than the stock set.  The O.Z. wheelset is INCLUDED in the auction and has only 2 days on the track with 90% tread left.   Lug bolts included and these wheels do not use the 8 mm 42Design spacers.  This is a $3000 retail value.

Thank you for bidding and if you have any questions or need more information please get in touch.

Audi supercar not yet approved, R4 not quite dead, still room for an MPV

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

According to a report by Autocar, all we thought we knew of the in-development Audi supercar we might not actually know. A piece in Car and Driver, not even a month old, said the diesel-hybrid halo car was in the design stages, would get the engine from the R18 E-Tron Quattro and its carbon fiber tub. Now we get word that that while the coupe is indeed being designed, it hasn't yet been signed off and there's no business case for it yet. Said business case, whenever it is built, is also dubious of the diesel aspect of the car at the moment - diesels aren't known for creating Pavlovian purchase responses in buyers in the two key markets of the US and China.
The report suggests that instead of a diesel, the 2014 Le Mans regulations changes "could swing the favour back towards petrol models," which would give the so-called Scorpion a better tie to racing technology. Of course, that also assumes that Audi would contest next year's Le Mans with a gas-powered car. If so, that would be an about-face on the original reasons for the halo sportscar in the first place.
In other news, seems Audi also believes it can slot another sportscar below the R8, it just needs to get the financials sorted. The R4 - a Porsche Boxster-sized roadster - that has been chattered about for years is still in on the table but appears a long way off. Company R&D chief Wolfgang Durheimer said it would need to be mid-engined and bring plenty of tech to separate itself from the TT, but mass-market price point is the catch as is the focus on other segments in the portfolio.

Audi, Jag, Kia and Tesla top Strategic Vision 2014 Total Quality Index

Sun, 06 Jul 2014

A couple weeks ago, J.D. Power released its latest Initial Quality Study, which gave high marks to Porsche, Hyundai and General Motors, with the latter earning more individual IQS awards than any other manufacturer. Now, it's Strategic Vision's turn, and it's doling out its praise not to Porsche, but to Tesla, which wasn't even included in the JD Power IQS.
The Model S was named the best vehicle overall in total quality, while Porsche's corporate brother and endurance-racing rival, Audi, was named the best premium brand, alongside Jaguar. Strategic Vision cited the Q5 and the ancient Q7 for individual segment awards, as well as the A5, which was a mere point off the top of its segment. SV also handed out compliments for the Audi's interior work. The win for the German brand is a nice improvement over its IQS score, with which it landed above the industry average, but solidly mid-pack.
Jaguar was without a segment winner, although SV did say that the Indian-owned English brand had a number of vehicles very near the top of their segments. This is the second significant win for Jag in two weeks, after it finished second overall on the JD Power IQS a few weeks ago.
