RE: Official Pics: TT RS
Discussion
Why would it be more interesting to drive? It's a road car so maximum grip is the aim. If you infer breaking grip from the rear end and going sideways on the road then you're a t
t and a danger to others. On the track no problem but this is designed as a car for the road, so 4wd makes lots of sense.
Yes, the sooner we can attach our cars to rails the better!

As an owner previously of fairly low grip/adjustable motors, I thought you may have had a different opinion. On the right road in the right conditions I see no problem with a bit of sideways action!!
You sir are a tit!

Even pulling out of a side turning in first gear with the steering wheel upside down in the wrong direction can brighten up a cr**py day, something that isn`t really going to be on the menu in a TT RS (or a 993tt)

What is it with you people 
Audis top of the range model is always 4x4 why is so hard for you to grasp , and yes im sure you are a driving god and oversteer your self to work all the time that spoiler is hideous, it looks like something a chav would do to his audi if he got hold of a tt. shame they couldn't wack in the squared off arches like those on the old quatrro (and copied weakly on the RS6). also, that badging also looks like an aftermarket job, they have literally dug some RS badges out of the parts bin and stuck them on the back. not very convincing i'm afraid. standard audi, bigger engine harder (worse) suspension. clap clap

Imho, they would have been better to leave the A4 cab platform at S4.

RWD doesn't equate to sideways unless you are into drifting or cannot drive worth a toss. As for your comment about "on track no problem", even on track you won't be going faster if you are drifting round corners; therefore, why would to want to loose control of the back. Do you understand Physics or do you think that is the name of a rapper?
4WD does not mean the laws of physics don't apply to you. In fact, most performance 4WD cars are RWD biased until there is wheel slip, at which time they adjust; however, the transmissions losses are ever present as are the innate handling characteristics.
If you cannot fathom why RWD may be more interesting that 4WD, you must be a die-hard Evo or Subaru owner with a chip on their shoulder. If not, at least be open to the fact that RWD could be preferential in a road car with the Renn Sport moniker attached to it.

ts going out to "play" in the snow a couple of weeks ago . All they were doing was being a nuisance and a danger to others trying to get from A to B. Going sideways and purposefully losing traction is only acceptable on the track not on the road. My previous cars had less grip, so I progressed my driving experiences by buying a car with fantastic grip - my 993tt which is a road car and gets driven on the road.
