New TTRS v M2
The new Audi TTRS looks like a direct rival for the M2. With its availability likely to mean no waiting lists and much faster delivery times than the M2, it looks set to steal M2 sales.

Anything that shortens the wait for an M2 is good.

Different price point and limited availability as before. Not comparable to and M2. This car will out run most anything in a straight line even before you tune it. Plus your talking about a $75k plus car now.

it will be £50k before options in the UK so minimum 20% more than an M2. Lovely engine, but I don't think any manual gearbox option, and I still cant really buy into the TT image for that money, albeit it will be a very quick car.. but then everyone bought a golf R just so they could talk about the 0-60 times and the road test reviews and I cant be doing with that car either..

Think the TTS will be the option most look at if not M2 vs RS - ie need AWD or can't wait. Readily available now, damn nice car, prices slightly less with discount even. Now if you want something more usable for same money and want 4 doors, still small and AWD is necessary the RS3 is a pretty compelling option.

The TT RS is actually an indirect rival to the F87 M2.
It will be cross-shopped by prospects and intenders (in the market). The TT RS is a FWD chassis with AWD and 5-cylinder power and to marketed against an M car. The F87 M2 is a smallish performance car that is new within it segment. RWD with a 6-speed manual is standard which is a dying breed but BMW AG and M GmbH knew it's buyers and fans required these two traits. Slotted below the F82 M4 the F87 M2 will have reach far beyond the Audi, as in a wide demographic group that wants, desires it and buy it from across the globe. Young drivers will dream about the M2 and plan to get one. Older drivers will see some nostalgia but in a fun size and not expensive. The sweet spot in the market will be drivers that will have a BMW or two, or Porsche and add it to their garage. The M2 is the car to bring in a new demographic to the M brand and keep the M faithful satisfied. |

That's more of a "back seat" than a back seat much like in the 911. |

I think you guys are greatly over exaggerating the back seat. I took a test drive 1 weeks ago and a tall sales rep sat in the front while my gf sat in the back. Shes 5'4 and of course you have to move the seat forward and such but its perfectly fine for a once in awhile use. If you plan to take someone every day, then I'd agree its not practical but it can fit an average size person and someone whos somewhat young (no aches or weak bones ) for those short once in a while rides

Is that new TTRS still have a Haldex 4WD system??? it needs something like the the R8, Focus RS or Evo X all wheel drive system to make it more alive in my opinion.

Not going to lie... The TTRS is moving to the top of my list with the M2 and Cayman S. (and the RS3 if I do go somewhat practical)
Yes, the TTRS is a little more, but that 400 HP 5 cylinder coupled with Quattro has me intrigued. The launches are going to be pretty insane. To the point where the looks are growing on me...ha! I just have to seriously think if I am ok with a less practical car like the TT and having a beater on the side. |
