How is it our version is $59k and the British version is $73k? That doesn't sound right.

The TTRS is $49k GBP, not $73k USD.


Cars are "priced to market" in each country based on competitor pricing and perceived consumer value (willingness to pay), not on currency exchange.


If cars were priced on currency exchange, an A4 would run you $60k USD base with no options ($43k Euro - 2.0T Quattro with leather).

There's too much volitility in currency exchange and prices would need to change constantly.



Let's be happy we pay what we pay...

Dear Audi Dealers,

Signifying a return of the RS nameplate to the U.S. and new to the TT model lineup for 2012, later this summer Audi will begin customer deliveries of the incredible 2012 Audi TT RS. The Audi TT RS will be equipped with the award-winning 2.5T, five-cylinder turbocharged engine - generating 360 horsepower (between 5500-6700 rpm) producing an impressive 343 lb-ft of torque (between 1650-5300 rpm). The engine was developed exclusively for the Audi TT RS and won International Engine of the Year honors last summer in judging for its category by 71 automotive journalists. The 2.5T engine will be paired with a six-speed manual transmission and quattroŽ all-wheel drive to achieve a 0-60 mph time of 4.1 seconds, making it the fastest vehicle in its class.

The Audi TT RS features exclusive exterior design and performance elements including high gloss black diamond-patterned Singleframe grille, large front air inlets, a fixed rear wing spoiler for added downforce, oval exhaust pipes, rear diffuser, unique 19” wheels and matte aluminum finish exterior mirrors. The interior includes a special contoured 3-spoke sport multifunction steering wheel, aluminum RS door sills, RS specific door handles and RS specific badges on the seats, steering wheel and instrument cluster.

Suggested Retail Price
TT RS 2.5 quattro Coupe (6-speed manual) $56,850 (excludes Destination Charge & Tax)

Audi announces pricing for 2012 MY TT RS

• Introduction of TT RS marks the much anticipated return of the RS nameplate to U.S.
• TT RS fitted with a manual transmission and the award-winning, powerful
2.5 Liter TFSIŽ turbo-charged five-cylinder engine


HERNDON, Va., July 8, 2011 — Audi of America today announced pricing for the much anticipated Audi TT RS. The 2012 TT RS is the pinnacle of the TT model line, and signifies the return of the RS nameplate to the U.S. The RS nameplate represents the highest performance category for Audi vehicles, and reflects the technical competencies gained through Audi motorsports successes. The Audi TT RS will be priced at $56,850 (excluding destination charges, taxes, title, options and dealer charges).

The Audi TT RS is powered by the award-winning 2.5 liter turbocharged five-cylinder TFSI engine that generates 360 hp and 343 lb-ft of torque between 1,650 and 5,400 rpm for power on demand. All engine components have been designed to cope with extreme loads and the demands of a thoroughbred sports engine. Forged six-bearing crankshaft, weight optimized connection rods, sodium cooled exhaust valves and lightweight pistons with specifically adapted ring assembly are indicative of the elements engineered into the TT RS.
The combination of FSIŽ injection and a high-efficiency turbocharger result in optimum combustion, superior power and rapid buildup of boost pressure even at low speeds. The engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission and quattroŽ all-wheel drive is standard. An automatic transmission is not available for the TT RS. The Audi TT RS accelerates from 0 – 60 mph in only 4.1 seconds, making it the fastest in its class.

Audi magnetic ride is standard on the TT RS, which allows the suspension characteristic to be actively altered; the driver benefits as the system constantly adapts to the current driving situation. A sport mode stiffens the magnetic ride, enhances throttle responsiveness, and activates a more striking engine sound via flaps in the exhaust system.

The aluminum and steel hybrid ASFŽ technology also found on the TT and TTS models, reduces weight while helping increase rigidity and safety. The coupe space frame at 3,306 lb is made up of 69% aluminum and 31% steel which makes it 48% lighter than a full steel frame. The Audi TT RS offers excellent aerodynamics with a drag coefficient of 0.32 due to its optimized silhouette and smooth vehicle underbody.

The Audi TT RS features exclusive design elements denoting its special place at the top of the TT model line. The high gloss black diamond-patterned SingleframeŽ grille and large front air inlets give notice of the vehicles performance, as does the fixed rear wing spoiler that provides increased down force. Oval exhaust pipes, rear diffuser, unique 19” rotor wheels, prominent body sills and exterior mirror housings in matte aluminum finish round out the RS-specific design elements.

The interior of the Audi TT RS also features RS-exclusive appointments, such as the contoured 3-spoke sport multifunction steering wheel, aluminum door sills with the RS logo, and RS-specific interior door handles. Other interior features include 10-way power sport front seats with three-step heating, leather seat coverings, brushed aluminum interior inlays, and available LED ambient lighting.

The Audi TT RS offers electronic features one expects from Audi, including Audi concert radio with single CD player and MP3 reading capability, and AM / FM / SAT radio with a complimentary 3-month subscription to SiriusXMŽ Satellite Radio. Available advanced electronics offer an increased level of sophistication for the premium sports car, including technologies like Audi navigation plus with real time traffic, MMIŽ inspired controls, a BOSEŽ sound system, and Audi music interface.

The 2012 Audi TT RS is a unique car that will appeal to Audi enthusiasts and performance vehicle purists alike. The Audi TT RS goes on sale this summer.

I'm just wondering how long will these cars finally hit the streets of North Amer? My white beard is growing extremely long. Can't believe that they are taking FOREVER. Enough of the press releases and let's see the cars already.

Default Mystery solved

As provided by "poverty" on vagoc.co.uk:

The 6th gear figure is just a typo, and should be 0.970. Then, there are two different final drive ratios, which explains the apparent slight change between 2nd and 3rd.
For 1st and 2nd gear, the final ratio is 3.77, while for 3rd through 6th gears, the final ratio is 2.91. This yields nicely spaced overall ratios as follows:
1st: 13.46
2nd: 8.14
3rd: 5.50
4th: 4.16
5th: 3.38
6th: 2.82
