TT-RS Order Guide

[mtbscoTT]

Suzuka looks interesting, especially in contrast to those other colors. I'm sticking with Sepang though. I've seen an R8 that color in person and really liked it.
I do wish we had interior choices though. I would be more likely to choose another shade if I could choose something besides black for the inside.

[joshsmith]

Still torn between the sepang blue and suzuka gray! I want to get my order in this week.

hey mate i reckon do the Suzuka Grey with 19" GmbH Titanium look alloys and blackout pack

i was tossing up between Suzuka Grey and Phantom black but opted for black because with the blackout pack it looks very sleek and stealth. kind of reminds me of darth vadar hahaha.

My dealer suggested heated seats since they say Audi doesn't sell without them. Is this true even for the RS if you live in cold climate? $500 not a big deal but don't want to waste.

Audi's are going to sell no matter what mate. I live in Sydney Australia - it gets relatively cold here but nothing like Europe does. Having said that, I feel the cold and love driving with the windows down in winter, so for me I'd never buy a car without putting them in.

They're more just a really nice option to have.

What car are you looking at bud?

I live in NE Ohio and my TTS is my first Audi (out of five) without heated seats. I didn't bother ordering them because I never used them on my other cars, even when I drove around with the windows down.

OTOH some folks really like them, hence it's your call but Audi will be happy to sell you a car without them.

Oh thats awesome man!!!

Yeah I was really torn between the white and Suzuka Grey. I reckon Suzuka Grey because A) it's more unique but B) only the RS models (in Aus anyway) have the option of that colour - which to-date is RS5, RS6, TTRS and R8.

What is a Tech Package?? And what is the Sport Exhaust Titanium Package?? :O !!!!!!

Ahh I see. So you guys have a like a name for a whole set of options cos in the Tech Package I've got all those options except the live timing because we don't get that in Australia .

And this Sport Exhaust business!?!? What exhaust do they put on the car?? Our cars come standard with the S button inside that does suspension and all the usual stuff but it also opens a flap in the exhaust - could that be the Sports Exhaust you have optioned on?

That is a very cool set of options man!!! Very similarly specced to my car!

How long till the new beast arrives buddy ?

[m3cosmos]

How long till the new beast arrives buddy ?

No idea. They just say Fall. We don't get those recaro seats nor TV.

[milo]

Suzuka Grey looks hot for sure Suxs that we don't get the Recaro seats but at least we get the 360hp version

The exhaust with the flapper is the standard one. The Sport Exhaust is apparently a slightly louder version of that.

Just got an update from my dealer. My quoted (overly optimistic) initial delivery date of June-July is now "mid-August".

Also mentioned that the Titanium Package and Aluminum Trim package are incompatible. So no dark wheels if you like the alum spoiler.

Stated that due to the earthquake Audi blue's are in short supply however he's had no word regarding (my pick) of Sepang Blue delays.

Still no price.

OHH !!!

That's not fair!

Having said that the sound of it should hold me for at least the first year before I start some modding hehe

[joshsmith]

I'd take sports exhaust over the TV that I've put in mine.. Maybe not the Recaro's though. For me - that's a big thing of the way you feel in seats when driving

Did you end up going for Suzuka Grey?

Time to start counting down the days - roughly.. haha

[mtbscoTT]

I wish we'd get a firm price soon. I haven't set an absolute limit but pretty much anything much over $60K will give me pause. Whenever you climb up to a new pricepoint, you open up other opportunities...i.e. another Cayman or maybe even a Lotus Evora.
I may have an unusual circumstance compared to some of you too....I'm nearing retirement, and realistically buying a new car like this is probably not the wisest use of funds....but...I'm a lifelong car guy who's never been the most practical. Meanwhile, I wait...

Bingo!

[tdi-bart]

it will def be about 70K with a couple options, taxes and freight for sure

So there's more than just one of us! Retired in 35 days. Wife is convinced I need an intervention.

Anyone have pics of the non recaro seats for the TT RS NA version?

[JohnLZ7W]

I think they're the same as the TTS seats but with an RS logo

[m3cosmos]

I still didn't decide on the color and perhaps I should order a bare bone version until we get pricing and go from there. I just hate getting ripped off! BMW 1M has done some rip off pricing for their premium package for $2400 for.

Auto-dimming interior and exterior mirrors
Lumbar support
BMW Assist with Bluetooth
Power front seats with driver seat memory
Ambiance lighting
iPod and USB adapter

Porsche is the worst but for some reason customer accepts that fact due to the branding.

Yeah BMW is good at ripping people off for a car that's not especially great. (I had one - I should know)

The problem is if you order one, you'll get an allocation and an estiamted delivery date and that's great! HOWEVER!! If you then go and change what is in the order you essentially re-order the car.

That's what happened with me - I origionally had the 6 stacker CD changer in glove box, I then changed my mind and put the AMI in there instead so now I'll know in the next week or so (takes about a month to find out from Germany) when my car will arrive.

Luckily the car won't start production till about week 20something so there may not be as much difference in the delivery date. Something for you to consider.

Hope that makes sense man haha.

[sr_erick]

Order is in. Commence the waiting. Hurry up little Sepang!

Awesome mate! Congratulations!!

[Axel1]

Hi guys.

That's strange and a shame that the North America options don't allow the matte aluminum exterior package along with the Titanium 19" rotor design wheels (which look to be only be available in the Sport Exhaust Titanium Package). I would have liked them both! Both versions of the wheels are the same price on the UK configurator, and obviously both will be coming here...

Now I'll have to decide whether it will be cheaper to get the alum. package and buy aftermarket wheels, or get the titanium package and just paint the body parts involved in the matte aluminum...

[S5 Driver]

Hi Guys,

Wanted to say it feels good to be back on a TT forum. I placed an order a couple of weeks ago for a Suzuka Gray TTRS with tech package, carbon fiber mirrors, and heated seats. I currently drive a 2010 S5 Cab (hence the name S5 Driver), but I have owned 2 TT's in the past: a 2004 roadster and a 2008 roadster. I look forward to a lot of great discussion and new ideas.

[Axel1]

S5 Driver, did you go through the Matthews dealer? Let me know your salesman and I'll give him some more business.

[S5 Driver]

I go to Flow Audi in Winston Salem. I have been a customer of their's for the past 7 years. Excellent sales and service departments. If you haven't already ordered, you may want to check them out.

Mate welcome aboard!!

Always great to have another TTRS driver and Audi enthusiast on Fourtitude

Best of luck with your TTRS - sounds great!

When do you take delivery?

[DrDomm]

Grrr...I've been waiting for pricing, but couldn't take it anymore. I placed my order today.

Phantom Black
Tech package
Sport exhaust
Aluminum package
Heated seats

If the price comes in too high, I will cancel though. Anyone looking for a TTS?

[mkauzer]

Grrr...I've been waiting for pricing, but couldn't take it anymore. I placed my order today.

I got sucked in also. I'm hoping they only intend to make 1000. I'll buy at their asking price. I don't want anything else. Has anyone heard of dealers that have already run out of allocation? Only 140 days to delivery!

[Dr. Bill]

According to my dealer, there will be 500 cars imported into the US over the next two years. I've heard so many different numbers, it's hard to know what to believe! They also said that with some of the new models, they don't have final pricing info until the vehicle arrives at the port!

Even with all the uncertainty, I placed an order with no obligation to buy:
Suzuka Gray
Tech Package
Sport Exhaust Titanium Package

I thought about the carbon fiber mirrors, but they are around $1400 on the R8 and would likely have a similar price for the TT-RS! Plus, carbon fiber out here in the sun does not do well.

A fully loaded TTS Coupe is about $51k. If this one is over $62k, I think I'm out. I'll have to see it in person and drive it to make sure. In any case, it will have to be pretty special to displace my C2S!

[DrDomm]

...They also said that with some of the new models, they don't have final pricing info until the vehicle arrives at the port!

I was told the same thing today

Even with all the uncertainty, I placed an order with no obligation to buy:
Suzuka Gray
Tech Package
Sport Exhaust Titanium Package

That was my 2nd choice...light colored car with dark accents.

I thought about the carbon fiber mirrors, but they are around $1400 on the R8 and would likely have a similar price for the TT-RS! Plus, carbon fiber out here in the sun does not do well.

Oddly, the carbon fiber ones are electric folding...hence the price, I guess.

A fully loaded TTS Coupe is about $51k. If this one is over $62k, I think I'm out.

This is exactly how I feel. I'm not sure why the 2011 TTS costs less than my '09 when I bought it, though.

[mtbscoTT]

Has anyone heard of dealers that have already run out of allocation? Only 140 days to delivery!

Don't know what your dealer is telling you, but I don't think ANY dealer has actually seen an allocation yet. I'm pretty sure my dealer is one of the highest volume ones in the US (currently have 5 R8's in stock) but they don't have any real idea how many they're getting. I placed my order via email a couple of weeks ago when the order guide first came out. Salesman says they are able to type it into the system, but the order is not actually placed until an allocation is given, and they don't yet know when or how many that is. I still maintain that any dealer giving someone a delivery date, etc, is BS'ing.
However limited the run is, I sincerely doubt the TT-RS will "sell out" immediately. There will be an initial surge when they first come in, then whatever's left will sell much slower. All variants of the second generation TT in the US market have been niche vehicles, no reason to believe that raising the price $10K (and the bar) is suddenly going to make them hot commodities.
I'm with Dr Bill, still hoping that the base price is the oft mentioned $58500 and with popular options no more than $62K. Much more and I'm out too.
