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.

GRAND-AM, IMSA announce deal to bring DTM racing to US

Fri, 29 Mar 2013

It won't be until 2015 at the earliest, but the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA), Grand-Am and the Internationale Tourenwagen-Rennen have agreed to a licensing and cooperation deal that could bring a version of Germany's DTM series to the US.
When the American Le Mans Series and Grand-Am are officially combined next year, the resulting body will be called United SportsCar Racing (USCR). IMSA will be the sanctioning body for that series, and DTM races could be run as support events. It was also suggested by an ALMS chief that DTM races could be standalone or join NASCAR and IndyCar weekends.
With the so-called DTM America finally agreed to, there is now a way for manufacturers to run the same DTM-type cars in Europe, the US and Japan - last year Japan's Super GT series agreed to adopt "the basic technical regulations" of DTM for the GT500 class, the top class in the series. That already puts six manufacturers in play: Mercedes-Benz, Audi and BMW that run in Germany's DTM and Honda, Nissan and Lexus that run in Super GT. The DTM oversight body has invited American brands to Germany for the opening round of the 2013 season, and will begin actively courting their participation in the US series. Check out the press release from Audi with comments on the deal below.

2016 Audi S6 Quick Spin [w/video]

Wed, Jul 8 2015

Back in my salad days, when I was rocking a the greatest Civic Si of all time, the occasional pair of leather pants, and a yen for malt liquor and grass (both of which quickly put an end to the leather pants), a car like the 2016 Audi S6 would've made my head explode. "What's that?" I might have asked. "A roomy four-seat Audi with more than 400 horsepower and all-wheel drive, that looks like it was sculpted by Ralph McQuarrie? Pushing 30 mpg and under five seconds to 60 miles per hour? The hell you say." And that's even before Future Me showed Skinny Me an interior full of carbon fiber and aluminum, God's own quilted-leather sport buckets, and a 'radio' that would've made my Dreamcast look like an Atari 6400. (If you haven't picked up on the vibe yet, I was kind of a weird nerd in the late '90s.) Gentlemen, we live in the future; I just drove a mid-cycle-refresh Audi that proves it. Driving Notes The 4.0-liter, turbocharged V8 is tailor-made for smoothly pulling around anything less-well-endowed than the M5/E63/CTS-V set. Now up to 450 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque (versus the 420 hp and 406 lb-ft of last year's model), there's enough pull in the easily accessible powerband to satisfy all but lunatic drivers. It doesn't feel staggeringly fast, but that's only because 500 horsepower has become so commonplace in the new uber sedan game. It's quick enough. Remember when 250 hp was a crazy number? The car sounds like it has a V8, too. That may seem obvious, but in Generation Direct Injection things tend to get a bit clattery. You'll get some of that if you open the hood with the engine running (as I did in one of the Short Cuts above), but none where it counts: behind the wheel, windows up, stereo down, foot to the floor. That recipe delivers a hushed, baritone-sung song about understatement. Less subtle is the braking force when used at or near the top of its ability. After a moment of surprise and delight while decelerating in normal traffic, I went back-road hunting to test a few pseudo panic stops. Vented 15.7-inch front discs, with 14-inchers in the rear, provided a fast and steady haul-down from 70 miles per hour. Remember when wheels were 15 inches? I mean, you need those big brakes and potent engines to move and stop a car this hefty. With a base weight of 4,486 pounds – no doubt heavier still in my loaded, Dutchman-driven example – it still kind of blows my mind to see the 27-miles-per-gallon highway number.
