Audi TT RS Coupe (2021) Review
Fast Facts:
Model tested: Audi TT RS Coupe
Price: R1 069 000 (April 2021)
Engine: 2.5-litre, 5-cylinder
Power/Torque: 294 kW/480 Nm
Transmission: 7-speed dual-clutch
Fuel consumption: 8.7 L/100 km (claimed)
Load space: 305 litres
How much does the Audi TT RS cost in South Africa?
The Audi TT RS Coupe is priced from R1 069 000 and the TT RS Roadster from R1 113 500 (April 2021). A 1-year/unlimited km warranty and a 5-year/100 000 km maintenance plan are included.
Verdict
Given its price tag of just over R1 million (R1 069 000), the TT RS offers a level of (stonking) performance that is difficult to match rand-for-rand. Yes, it scores highly in the bang-for-buck stakes and, don’t forget the magical engine sound it emits! Rivalling products from BMW, Porsche and Toyota each have their own USPs, but even so, the TT RS just seems to nail that winning sportscar formula on the head.
It still looks phenomenal in the metal, it sounds great, it’s blisteringly fast and delivers mega performance. What's more, its interior design is not only aesthetically pleasing but complements the overall package, all of which can be had at just over R1 million. What’s not to like about the TT RS? Also, don't forget that the TT was also a Fun Car category winner in the 2015/16 iteration of the #CarsAwards.
Granted, the TT is getting on in years – there are newer and arguably more sought-after machines on the market. Nevertheless, the TT RS remains one of Audi’s finest driver’s cars. As widely reported, the future of the TT (and indeed the R8) hangs in the balance; Audi won’t be investing in new engine development due to ever-tightening emissions regulations and, as brands prepare to roll out a slew of all-new EV products, it's a sad reality there won't be successors to the TT and R8, at least not as we know them. Maybe, just maybe, that alone is enough reason to buy a TT RS or at least consider it…
Depending on where your allegiances lie, alternatives to the Audi TT RS include the BMW M2 Competition, Toyota GR Supra and the Porsche 718 Cayman. Which one would you choose?

Audi TT RS (2021) Review
We recently sampled Audi’s latest iteration of its TT RS on a picturesque ribbon of asphalt on the Cape Peninsula. Have mild styling tweaks to the Ingolstadt firm’s "supercar slayer" improved its purchasing proposition sufficiently to dissuade buyers from purchasing rival models made by Porsche...

Why would I want to drive this car daily? Something that costs R1mill?

I think it's to illustrate the useable power. Tons of it yet it's still a top daily driver.

DRIVEN: Sizzling 2021 Audi TT RS Roadster
The reaction of people tells you a lot about a car. Stop anywhere in, let’s call it a “normal” car, even a very expensive one, and no one gives it a second glance. However, in an Audi TT RS Roadster, all bets are off. And it’s easy to see (and hear) why because roadsters aren’t that common on the road and when it's an Audi with an RS moniker even more so.
With large front air dams, a fixed wing at the rear, low and wide stance the TT RS is everything that a roadster should look like. It may not be the most practical car in the car park but that’s the whole point. It's meant to be automotive fun, a car that says “here I am” that not only looks the part but when it comes down to driving plays it too.
And it plays it by virtue of its familiar award-winning 2.5-litre five-cylinder turbo-charged engine that pushes out 294kW and 480Nm to all four wheels with its all-wheel quattro drive via a seven-speed S tronic transmission that delivers power as needed between the axles via a multi-plate clutch.

REVIEW | The Audi TT RS Coupé is an exhilarating driver's car, but it can't outrun the future
• The TT RS is one of Audi's finest sports cars and could be hailed as a mini R8.
• The car is powered by a 294kW five-cylinder petrol engine.
• Pricing for the TT RS Coupé starts at R1 083 000.
In summary
The TT RS is perhaps one of the finest driver's cars to come from Audi and reminds strongly of the R8. And though nothing can compare to that halo sports car, the TT RS offers potential buyers a chance to reach out and sample something similar. It's achingly good and entices with every passing kilometre.
Sadly, though, the TT and TT RS' time will be coming to an end. From the year 2026, every new Audi launched will be an electric vehicle, indicating that the internal combustion engine's (ICE) relevancy at Audi has become obsolete. And with 2026 just five years away, and the TT and TT RS receiving an update recently, it's safe to assume that this could very well be the last iteration of the TT RS. A swansong at its best.
The automotive world is committed to an electric future, and Audi is working towards an electric portfolio in most of its markets by 2030, leaving no room for sports cars like the TT RS. It's a sad reality, but an unavoidable one. And while we look to the future, nothing is withholding us from enjoying all of this now.
Price: R1 083 000 (Audi's five-years or 100 000km Freeway Plan is included)
