2012 Audi Tt Rs 2.5tfsi on 2040-cars

US $72,000.00

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.

2014 Audi SQ5 ditches diesel, still packs a punch

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Over in Europe-land, the Audi SQ5 is a diesel-powered monster capable of sending a whopping 479 pound-feet of torque to its wheels. Naturally, this beast isn't coming to the States, but that doesn't mean we're missing out on the whole SQ5 experience altogether. At the Detroit Auto Show this week, Audi is debuting a new gasoline-powered version of the hot crossover, and while it's not quite the oil-burning dreamboat we've lusted after from afar, we certainly wouldn't kick it out of bed.
Instead of a diesel, we get a boosted version of Audi's supercharged 3.0-liter V6, good for 354 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque. Running through an eight-speed automatic transmission, the SQ5 will reportedly be able to fire off 0-60 times in the low-five-second range and will top out at an electronically limited 155 miles per hour. Suspension upgrades are on hand to improve road-going prowess, but also lower the Q5's stance a bit, too.
Because this is an S model, there are plenty of visual upgrades on hand, including a more aggressive front fascia, 20-inch wheels and some pretty new colors including Estoril Blue and Panther Black. Interior upgrades like Alcantara trim and aluminum brightwork add to some sportiness from the cockpit view, as well.

VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.

Audi revisits Ahab on desert island paradise in new ad

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Well, call us Ishmael. Long ago (okay, about eight months), Audi debuted an ad during the NFL playoffs called "Ahab." It showed a salty tow truck driver and his years of catches. During that time, one particular car eluded and haunted him - a white Audi A6, whose Quattro all-wheel-drive system had no issues with the inclement conditions.
Now, there's a sequel that has Ahab, not dead and not missing any legs, on a tropical island. What he doesn't realize, though, is that the white whale (which, Audi, if you're going to associate an animal with a luxury sedan, a whale isn't the best choice) has followed him. Take a look at chuckle-worthy spot below, and then click over and see the spot that started it all from back in January.
