SHOWDOWN! Audi TT RS versus Audi RS3!

Audi's TT RS and RS3 share the same basic chassis, engine and transmission setup. Jen and Paul spend time in both cars to determine if they are merely different suits or different experiences altogether.

Great video, the tt is such a gem of a car nothing else quite like it. Once you’ve had one it’s hard to let go.

I have a 23' TTS and with some yokohama AD09 track tires, its super fun and quick at the track.

Id say the strongest power of this car is its duality with great high performance handling while still being usable in summer/winter/4 plane baggage plus golf bag fits all in one in the back is crazy.

Liked your video and prompted me to get my third TT, MK 3 TTRS (1st - MK 1 TT, 2nd - Mk 3 TTS) over the RS3.

Just purchased a 2016 TTS Quattro - love it!!! 55K miles when purchased. My 2012 TT Quattro got 77K miles on its’ first set of Continental tires!

Definitely something up with that rs3. I have the new 8y uk spec sedan and it definitely doesn't have lag like that from a non launch, brake to gas start.

The TTRS has a slightly shorter wheelbase than the RS3 and the body panels are aluminum, which may be where the base price difference originates.

After watching this video i decided to go with a 2019 TTRS. Just seemed like the better project car and everyone who drives one seems to be having a blast!

Went from the S3 (2015) to an 8V RS3 and just picked up an 8Y 2024 RS3 and I absolutely love it. Can't wait to fit the 18" Blizzaks on this and take on the Wisconsin winters head on!

Just test dove and bought a 2007 3.2 TT DSG, is very smooth even at cruising speed. I also own a TT RS manual, which is a bit tricky to shift well, especially in sports mode.

Look up C&D Lightning Lap for both cars, the 8Y RS3 is the clear winner (better rwd in corners) and it's about $15k cheaper. Plus it's more practical. These cars are very sensitive to fuel quality, to get mid 3s you need minimum 93 and cool day (no heat soak)

An interesting mix of presenters. And all the better for that. The chap with the beard likes to give it the beans!😊

Silver TTRS w/a brown interior and you sold it?!!
