2012 Audi Tt Rs 2.5tfsi on 2040-cars

US $72,000.00
Year:2012 Mileage:12133
Location:

Houston, Texas, United States

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:

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.

Notes from Day One of the 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring

Sat, 16 Mar 2013

The 61st edition of The 12 Hours of Sebring is on, and Autoblog has come to central Florida with Audi to feast on jumbo boiled peanuts, pickled eggs and the final race for the LMP1 class at the oldest road course in North America. As Audi has been doing for more than a decade now, it's brought its latest endurance race car, the 2013-spec R18 etron quattro, to Sebring to begin testing for Le Mans.
Why the commitment to Sebring? Audi Sport executives have repeatedly called Sebring "punishing," "extremely demanding" and "one of the toughest tracks in the world." It is a 3.47-mile circuit that, in places, feels like it was made from the leftover bits of other circuits. Doing the 12-hour distance in Florida is thought to be a good start on lasting the 24-hour distance in France, and we can't think it a coincidence that Audi has won ten times here in the last 13 years and 11 times in Gaul.
Where there's rhyme - and victory - there is reason. We think we found a few of them on our first day where preparation, technology, fastidious attention to detail and sweat fit right in with swamp cabbage...

US diesel model count to double for 2014?

Fri, 23 Aug 2013

While diesel cars are popular on most other continents, these less-complex alternative to hybrid-electric vehicles have yet to gain major traction in the US. As an increasing number of light cars and trucks start to offer these fuel-efficient engines, though, sales are expected to climb as well. While BMW, Mercedes-Benz and the Volkswagen Group (Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche) continue to lead the way, more non-German automakers like Mazda, Nissan, Chrysler and General Motors are starting to get serious about diesel in America.
TheDetroitBureau.com reports that the 2014 model year will see the number of diesel vehicles offered in the US double to about 40 nameplates, but the news gets even better for fans of these torquey and efficient powerplants. LMC Automotive has released data about future expectations of diesel cars in the US, and it predicts that sales should be very close to one million units in 2015 (up from an expected 600,000 units this year). By 2018, LMC's calculations suggest that sales will more than double from this year's expected totals accounting for almost 8 percent of new light-vehicle sales.

Audi sketches out new TT ahead of Geneva debut

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

In less than two weeks, the doors will open at the Geneva Motor Show, and we'll be there to capture all the action. Among the dozens of new debuts we're looking forward to will be the arrival of the new third-generation Audi TT, and to give us a better idea of what we're looking forward to, Ingolstadt has released this series of teaser sketches.
Looking every bit like a TT should and drawing heavily on the Allroad Shooting Brake concept that debuted at the Detroit Auto Show last month, the images foretell of a new Audi sports coupe with a single-frame grille, matrix LED lighting and a deeply creased hood with the four-ring emblem placed atop the nose, as on the R8.
Horizontal lines at the back preview Audi's next design language, with twin exhaust tips flanking the diffuser on base models and quad tips on the next TTS. A cleaner interior design also harkens back to the first-gen TT that started it all and from which the new one draws its inspiration. Scope out the images in the gallery above for a closer look at what's to come, then scroll down for the details in the press release below.
