What does the Audi TT RS sports coupe have in common with other sports cars? Well, they all have four wheels. The comparison gets sticky after that with Audi's new high-performance coupe, which will be coming to America soon.
Wilton 2010 Audi buyers will appreciate the sheer power and speed of this car, never mind the sophisticated lines and style. Audi was convinced to bring the car stateside by pleas from 11,500 Facebook fans who said they would be interested in it. "With performance and agility rooted in Audi motorsports success, the TT RS is truly an emotional sports car," said Audi of America's president, Johan de Nysschen. "That emotion became abundantly clear as we explored interest across the country."
Although European drivers get a choice of coupe or roadster, only the coupe will appear on our shores for the time being. But what a coupe it is, with a 2.5-liter TFSI five-cylinder engine that can run zero to 60- mph in only 4.6 seconds. The six-speed manual transmission features Audi's Quattro all-wheel drive system. Your Westport used Audi dealer has no doubt this car will be wildly popular.
Right now, the biggest power burst U.S. drivers can get is from the Audi TTS Coupe with 265 horsepower. With a price tag of $48,350 it's not outrageous, but true car aficionados will want to hold out for the TT RS coupe. It's price range hasn't been announced yet, but Audi anticipates it will arrive in the third quarter of next year.
Also no word on systems and options for the TT RS in America. Audi can be counted on, though, to make them adequate, if not numerous, and exciting. It may be exciting just trying to get one. Word on the street is that Audi will produce only a limited number for the U.S. market. And why not? More hype and higher demand mean a higher selling price.
Your Wilton 2010 Audi dealer will be more concerned with satisfying customers' curiosity regarding the features and price of the coupe that worrying about if there will be enough to go around. After all, they have many other fast and fine Audi models to choose from.
Customers of Westport used Audi dealers may prefer to shop for the certified pre-owned models where they will find a wide variety of choices and the option of a manufacturer's warranty. Although the coupe model isn't for everyone, Audi has sedans and crossovers available as well. Something for the family, something for the adventurer.
That's Audi's goal - to meet the driving needs of every customer, and the TT RS high-performance coupe is part of that spectrum.
