Thanks....been waiting on more info......

[Drof]

Has anyone's dealer given a guesstimate on when base price / option pricing would be released?

[bmoreS4]

Interested to see how the TTRS pricing compares the the RS3 pricing..............

[chrisngrod]

It's more =)

Here are the colors:

^ You need to upload a larger picture. I can barely even read those colors, though I know what they are...

So no one has gotten to the point of ordering yet, correct? My dealer contact hasn't contacted me regarding these order forms that were apparently released on 3/8...might give him a call. I would hope this means pricing and ability to place an order would be in March.

We don't have the ability to order the TTRS just yet, they don't tell us anything about when it will be available until Audi pushes it.

Yeah, but hopefully these order forms are a good indication that we are looking for more of a summer delivery than a fall delivery.

Sorry, that is as big as they sent me......What's your choice in color? I think mine is Nardo followed by Vegas Yellow!

My dealer emailed me that guide on the 10th. I put down my deposit and went over my thoughts on the packages yesterday. He stated we should see pricing in a couple months, he's thinking the first cars should arrive in August/September.

I was one of the first names on the list to order but now I have to do a delicate dance of pushing my order date back so the car arrives closer to the end of my S4 lease early next year. LOL


I really wish Audi/VW would go back to more ala carte options like BMW does. I want the OLED tail lights and the better suspension.....but I could really care less about a CF engine cover and the ceramic brakes, but that package is likely going to be $8k+ with all that's in it.

About all I know I am getting is Black Optics LOL


Color is now my big sleep eliminator.

Part of me says Nardo is the easy choice, always liked it and it's unique and iconic.........but then I start to second guess, it's very understated. But then, none of the other colors really interest me. The yellow, maybe, but the wife wants a new S3 in the yellow. lol

Considering an Exclusive if they allow it, maybe Nogaro, or Glut Orange. Another reason I'm ticked about the package only options, if I have to give up an Exclusive color to get that Dynamic package and stay in budget......ug.

Never saw this post, my bad. I like Nardo, but always wanted Suzuka Gray. Think I may pony up and go with the Audi exclusive.

[GaBoYnFla]

I might be wrong but my understanding is these cars will be short in supply...and mostly (at least at first) you take what they send or pass? Wonder how long it would take to do an Audi Exclusive order?

There may be some tightness in the Supply Chain at first. But I can remember Mark 2 TTR' sitting on lots for a period of time after the newness wore off. Just like all cars, there will be a slow down. I can remember cars like the Hellcat and Z06, with $20K premiums, now you can see these everywhere sitting on lots. The nice thing is that besides exterior color, there is minimal options.

[Thumper3]

The cars are in short supply, they will only make X number of them and each dealer is given an "allotment" which is the number they can order, usually this is rolled out slowly so a dealer may get 3 allotments in the first month and then 2 months later another two and so on for example.

Either way, the factory basically tells the dealership you have a certain number of these cars you can order, then the dealer either says "Ok, I have a custom order to submit...." and they pull the build for the next person in line, or they order what they want and think they can sell once it arrives. The dealerships don't just get whatever comes off the truck unless it's a specific situation where the factory has cars left over or something for instance and everyone gets crap dumped on them to just sell if they can. LOl

From what I have heard adding an Exclusive color can delay build by 1-3 months at worst. Depends on the car and color I think, they have to do testing to make sure the color will work on all the metal and plastics of that specific model and angles, ect and then work it into the normal production line.

[Izzu]

What he said ^

Basically what my dealer is doing with me.

Audi UK was a special situation. It won't be like that in the US.

[Chuckster]

My experience with the Ford GT350 ordering delays/ADM's and then the same with the Focus RS was exactly why I decided to look at other options. I wasn't going to go through the same experience with the TTRS, so I went with the TTS and didn't want to risk seeing TTS prices go up when dealers realized buyers couldn't get the TTRS and had to settle for "2nd best". For those that have the patience to wait, I salute you. It's going to be an amazing car.

[wildtouch83]

my dealer told me to expect $10k on top of base TT to start.

[GaBoYnFla]

$10000 on top of a TTS not a base TT....TTS are loaded about 60,000 so expect it to be 70,000 for TTRS.

[wildtouch83]

^^ That makes sense.

[dgszweda]

If past pricing models are any indication, expect the TTRS to be in the neighborhood of about $61K-$64K base.

Adding a non-base color would be between $550 to $575.

Technology package will be about $2950 to $3500 (because it includes the B&O, the price may be into the low $3000's)

The Black Optic package will be about $1,500

The Design Package will probably be around $500 to $750

The Dynamic Package Plus is the real question mark here. Typically they are around $8500, but it throws in a few things like OLED, which isn't clear, but my guess is it will be around $8,500, and most of that is eaten up by the CCB.

The red brake calipers will be between $400 to $500 (and you won't be able to order these if you choose the Dynamic Package Plus)

The Carbon Fiber interior will probably be around $750 (hopefully this includes CF door handles two, like we have seen on the show cars)

The Sport exhaust might be around $1,500

So fully loaded it should be under $80K, but remember most people won't buy the Dynamic package, so a realistic top price should be in the lower $70K, maybe $71K to $72K.

A fully loaded TTS is only $59,375. Audi's pricing is fairly consistent, so we shouldn't see any surprises. My take is that it will be a real disappointment if the OLED's are not offered separate. The Dynamic package is really not needed. The Magnetic Ride is superior to the fixed setup and the CCB's are more a pain the butt than they are a benefit.

[chrisngrod]

How about those going for a race setup? Magnetic suspension is pretty rough in the TTS with a small sidewall. Older S4 is much more comfortable.

Ceramic brakes don't wear that quickly from what I've seen. What's the pain in them?

I have ridden a lot of cars that took off the mag ride for a fixed setup and the ride has always been worse. With that said, if you are looking for a track setup than you may want to go with the fixed setup. The reviews so far on YouTube from people who have ridden both have been a bit mixed. Some like it and some don't.

Ceramic brakes will not wear as quickly, and they will reduce brake dust considerably. They are also lighter weight, which is great for rotating mass. With that said, for most daily driving they are more of a pain. They only work very well when they are warmed up/hot. For daily driving they can squeak a lot, have weird friction points when they are cold, feel very spongy when they are wet. The only car that I have driven where the manufacturer has created a unit that works fairly well on the rode is the Z06.

Not knocking anyone who wants them, but of all my friends who have them, barely any of them would order their car again with that brake setup.

[chrisngrod]

Gotcha. Good points. I've heard the same about squeaking and needing some heat.

For be it doesn't have to super daily friendly but enough to outweigh the TTS that I've already started to modify =/.

My take is that the TTRS is all about the motor. I am not sure if it will handle much better than the TTS, or have significantly better options/setup over the TTS. Here is my short list that swung me to the TTRS over the TTS (because I did like the TTS)

-> Power and Engine sound. Not sure if the turbo lag will lessen on the TTRS, that is one element that frustrated me on the TTS, but of course I was coming from an RS4 and RS5
-> Cool Alcantara wrapped steering wheel, with controls on the steering wheel like the R8
-> Hate the wheels, and actually like the Y-spokes from the TTS better
-> Don't like the fixed wing and will delete that, as I prefer the cleaner look of the TT and TTS
-> The grill and front end I have always liked more on the RS than on the S
-> OLED - hopefully they are offered as a standalone option

Otherwise, I don't see much other difference between the two.

[chrisngrod]

All true. Around the track I'll keep the revs pretty high.

I don't like the look of the TT at rest with the wing not deployed but like the active spoiler in general.

Downpipe and tuning should provide a good bit of power to the TTS, but I had noticed the lag ever since an Audi drive where we were able to track a V8 R8, S4, and S3.

In sport mode the transmission slips a little and the revs stay higher it seems, reducing the initial feel of lag.

Transmission might be a huge selling point. I've had some wiered experiences with the 6 speed that I never had with the 7 speed in the S4. Anyone know off the top of their heads if those trannies are similar?

EDIT:

B8 S4 DSG DL501
TTS DQ250
TTRS DQ500

In Sport mode it will increase the throttle sensitivity, which lessens that "feel" of turbo lag, as well as keeping the revs up. I was quite frustrated with the turbo lag. I have a Mini Cooper S with a turbo engine and I feel practically no lag. So not sure why they designed it with this much lag. They have proven with the S6 and S8 and RS7, that they can design a car with reduced lag, so not sure what happened here.

[Thumper3]

$10000 on top of a TTS not a base TT....TTS are loaded about 60,000 so expect it to be 70,000 for TTRS.

Except a fully loaded TTS has equipment you still have to pay for in a TTRS (B&O, Black Optics, Nav-Tech, etc) which is why you look at BASE, not loaded. The main difference in kit from TTS to TT-RS is the engine and body kit. As has been mentioned, $10k over BASE on the TTS is most likely

A fully loaded TTS is only $59,375. Audi's pricing is fairly consistent, so we shouldn't see any surprises. My take is that it will be a real disappointment if the OLED's are not offered separate. The Dynamic package is really not needed. The Magnetic Ride is superior to the fixed setup and the CCB's are more a pain the butt than they are a benefit.

I agree on the OLED's not being available separate, but Audi/VW's current business model is packages, not stand alone options. OLEDs are in a package, I would be shocked if you see them offered ala carte.

As for the Mag Ride being 'superior', that's subjective. It's softer which is more comfortable but for those wanting every last drop of performance the fixed which is every review I've seen has confirmed is a more direct and track oriented setup will be desired.

Haven't had many of the issues described regarding the Ceramic brakes. We see a bit of a light squeal/drag when moving around the garage. The brakes are certainly very grabby and stop well, even when cold. I've had far greater issues with entry level track, or aggressive autox pads than I have had with Audi Ceramics. Ceramic technology has come a long ways from when it was first introduced. It does not need nearly the heat that it used to. Let's be honest Audi isn't going to sell a car that can't stop in cold conditions, the cars are watered down so much from pure track machines, this isn't going to be a place where they suddenly pony up.

The real issue with Ceramics is the cost, replacement rotors are not cheap. Keep in mind though the brakes wear far slower vs traditional iron stoppers.

[Rapture]

I also would like the Oled's as a separate option like they are in Canada. I think they may be packaging them with the Dynamic option, at least initially because they realize there will be few takers for that option and those lights are already in short supply. They mention in other markets that ordering them can delay delivery.

I sent a note to Audi directly and ACNA asking them to offer them standalone. You guys should also, its worth a shot.

I also would prefer the Magna ride for its adjustability. Every car that has them gets pretty much rave reviews. Most of what I have read online have preferred them overall claiming the fixed is too harsh for most normal driving. Might be best for the track, but let's face it, if you want the best track car this is not it. That's not a criticism, for me I have decided that I don't want a track car.

Other than wanting the Oled's seperatly, I'm all set.

Nardo
Black with red stitch
Tech pack
Black optic
Sport exhaust
Design selection interior
Spoiler delete
License plate delete
Maybe exclusive color

I'm not a fan of the wheels either but the only other ones I really like so far that I know will fit are HRE's and they are pretty expensive.

Like the BBS Fi's also but same cost problem and no fitment yet.

It's gonna be a cool ride.

No nerve, these sometimes change. The addition of the OLED in a dynamic package makes no sense. It is frustrating. Every review on the car has stated that the dynamic package is not fun on the street.

[dgszweda]

Here is a question. With the fixed wing delete, what do you get? Do you get the standard electric spoiler found on the TT and TTS?

Also, do we get the carbon fiber door handle grips as standard? Do you need to order the carbon interior for that?

If you delete the fixed wing, you get the adaptive rear spoiler as on the TT / TTS Coupe.

If you want carbon door handles, you would need the carbon inlays, otherwise you would get the aluminum race inlays on the door, along with other trim pieces, as standard equipment.

Here's how it would look with aluminum race inlays:

I got the same "priceless" TT RS,build sheet from my dealer today but Edmunds.com now had novice & MSRP numbers in their build tools for the TT RS and the $10K cheaper RS3.

[Drof]

that order guide is out of date then. full pricing is available for both cars now

What do people think about the wing vs spoiler? The aero isn't important at street legal speeds or even at my closest track (Loudon) but would be at fast tracks. I might prefer the subtlety of the retractable unit vs the sushi tray but that's just one more thing to break.

I'm going spoiler delete with Nardo. I like the look, it will be easier to wash/wax and since it's Nardo most people won't confuse it with something else.

[Twowheelsgood]

I'll probably go with the delete despite seeing a few reports of spoiler fault online. Stealth mode is my preference, so spoiler delete and maybe skip the sport exhaust since the car would be my DD and my guess is that the car makes a good enough noise with the base system.

I'm not a fan of the wheels either. Might swap them once they get dinged up or use them for the winter tires.

Went with the fixed spoiler, as I found myself taking pictures of TTSs at the Audi dealership with the spoiler extended, and making forum posts asking how to keep it extended when dropping back under the extension speed. A very nice forum gentleman pointed out I should probably get the fixed spoiler. It isn't a folding-table-attached-to-trunk type wing, and I think it looks quite good. From what I understand, it looks even better in person. Personal preference on this one though!
