2012 Audi Tt Rs 2.5tfsi on 2040-cars
Houston, Texas, United States
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:
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. |

Are future vehicular hacks inevitable?
Wed, Jul 29 2015Before the hack of the Uconnect system in a Jeep Cherokee resulted in a 1.4-million vehicle recall, the potential software vulnerabilities in vehicles were already a hot topic with Congressional inquiries and even proposed legislation in the US. As cars' interconnected systems gain the ability to go online, they become open to a host of new threats. Automakers are trying to stop this, but it might be too late to put the genie back into the bottle. Throughout 2015, the issue of software security in vehicles has become increasingly vital. For example, the recent Jeep case wasn't even the biggest hack this year. In February, a major flaw was discovered in the BMW Connected Drive service that allowed researchers to remotely lock and unlock the doors and potentially affected 2.2 million cars. The fix was an over-the-air patch for the problem. Automakers are actively working to fix the issues. Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi reportedly are using encrypted connections and firewalls in their vehicles to prevent hacking. "Absolute, 100-percent safety isn't possible," Daimler spokesperson Benjamin Oberkersch said to Automotive News Europe. "But we develop our systems, tested by internal and external experts, so they're up to date." These vulnerabilities seem to be popping up more often. A successful hack took $14 in parts from Radio Shack in one case. There was also a 60 Minutes report earlier in the year about DARPA's ability to hack into OnStar to take control of a Chevrolet Impala. Experts aren't so sure companies can contend with hackers' advancement. "The difficulty for the carmakers at the moment is the question whether they can keep pace with advances in technology, and especially hacking technology," Rainer Scholz, executive director for telematics consultant EY, said to Automotive News Europe. "We seriously doubt they can." At this point, vehicle hacks are coming more from researchers looking for holes than from those with malicious intent. Still, the vulnerabilities are definitely there. It's up to automakers to keep patching the problems before they become dangerous to drivers.

Mercedes chief invites Audi, BMW to compete in F1
Thu, Dec 4 2014Mercedes-Benz didn't just win the Formula One World Championship in 2014 – it positively dominated it. The team won all but three of the grands prix this season, scoring a one-two finish at more than half of them and landing at least one car on the podium at every race without exception. It goes without saying, then, that the German automaker thrives on competition, but now it's welcoming even more. Speaking with Germany's Sport Bild at its homecoming celebration in Stuttgart, Daimler chief Dieter Zetsche welcomed Mercedes' biggest rivals Audi and BMW to join it on the F1 grid. Noting that the three German brands share some 80 percent of the market for luxury automobiles, Zetsche said that F1 would make a natural arena of competition for Mercedes, Audi and BMW to fight for top bragging rights. The three currently compete against each other in front of home audiences in the DTM touring car series – effectively Germany's equivalent to NASCAR – but of the ten races held this year, the majority were in Germany itself, and all of them took place in Europe. BMW last competed in F1 when it bought the Sauber team in 2006, but withdrew from the series in 2009. Despite its progenitor Auto Union having fielded the famous Silver Arrows in pre-war grand prix racing, Audi has never been a player in modern F1 racing, though recent rumors have linked it to a potential foray – spurred by the arrival of sister-company Porsche on its home turf at Le Mans, the departure of several of its key endurance drivers and the hiring of former Scuderia Ferrari chief Stefano Domenicali. Porsche had similarly considered an F1 program before getting the go-ahead to compete with Audi at Le Mans. As for the prospect of Mercedes competing in other international racing series, Zetsche added that year-long preparations for 24 hours of racing at Le Mans didn't present a good cost-benefit ratio in his estimation, but that Formula E (where Audi currently supports a quasi-works entry) would be worth a closer look.
2015 Audi A3 E-Tron [w/video]
Tue, 15 Jul 2014Over the years, we've had a chance to test a lot of Audi E-Tron vehicles, from very early all-electric prototypes (back then we only got to sit in the passenger seat) to the A6 L E-Tron PHEV and the A1 E-Tron plug-in hybrid. All of them were concepts and promises, merely whispers of what was possible, even as the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt and two Tesla models were making waves in the marketplace.
As we learned last year in our Deep Dive of the E-Tron project, all of the concepts, prototypes and rumors have finally come to fruition in this A3 Sportback E-Tron. Previously, we were given a chance to drive a prototype, but it was only very briefly. Last week, we finally got to run a production-representative example through the hilly roads between Vienna, Austria and Munich, Germany. After spending a solid day with Audi's first marketable E-Tron vehicle, we can say that it's a most amazing bit of engineering, in particular for the way that Audi has done so much to hide the fact that this is an electrified vehicle. Not entirely, of course, but the idea was to make the A3 Sportback E-Tron a no-compromise PHEV. And that means it drives and feels, in many ways, like the standard A3 Sportback despite over 700 extra pounds. Oh, and there's a charge port hidden behind the four rings in the grille.
