TTRS engine in RS3/ VW R25

[burwoodman]

I know it's pure speculation but figured someone will have a better view of when we might see the TTRS lump in an A3 or Golf? Is 12-18 months likely?

I have read many times about Audi's 1 RS at a time policy.

I don't mind if it turns up ina Golf or A3. Any ideas fellas?

I'm hoping we'll see an RS3 at some point next year......
Seen as it's been spotted a few times at the 'ring now.....

Perhaps the myth of the 1 RS policy can be debunked....are the RS6 & TT-RS not in production concurrently?

I'v read that Audi have got rid of that policy.
Certain cars will still be built off normal production lines like there lower spec versions, the TT-RS is done this way.
The RS3 could probably be done in the same way.
The higher end stuff, RS6, future RS5 and RS4 will no doubt conitnue on a specific line.

Audi have to do more than one at a time, look at BMW and Merc with their M and AMG ranges.

RS stuff is still assembled by quattro GMBH I beleive; I know they had to ramp up their facilities to account for R8 production and then again to catch up with R8 demand.

Can't find linkage but I recall several interviews with bigwigs where Audi stated they were looking to expand the RS brand. This can only be a good thing (more fast metal to choose from) but I hope they don't goo too mad on the numbers front
