The 2013 TTRS vs TTS was about 10K difference… $57,200 to $47,xxx
New TTS base now are $51,900 and the S3 base $42,500 so about $9,400 more…
I’d guess if either are brought over you’re looking at $53,000ish for a RS3 and $61,000ish for a TTRS…
TTS and TTRS seem to have more standard features IE less options then the S/RS3 so the delta speced out will probably come down a little… I’d think a nicely equipped RS3 is $58,000ish and TTRS $65,000ish
US prices for the Canadians…
Is there going to be a new ttrs?
Also speaking of manual cars, the latest generatiom Ferraris with manual transmissions are selling HOT in the used market.
A manual transmission 599 just sold for $600 000…double what it was new 5 years ago. That’s retarded.
Only 2 or 3 Ferrari Californias were sold with manual transmission. One was sold to a friend of mine. I showed him the article about the 599 and he laughed because the sales guys were pushing him to get the F1 transmission or whatever it is called saying ‘the manuals won’t u old value as well’
I believe Audi’s going to make it but will it come to NA? Can’t see Audi offering it in manual either. I think I remember reading the R8 won’t be offered in manual but not positive… Still can’t believe Audi hasn’t used the 2.5T motor in other NA cars… At this point it’s only in the 12-13 ttrs’s… Would love to see it in a true quattro car, obviously would need to be reconfigured… Yeah, I still like shifting sometimes and it’s nice to have that option in a fun car as you’re aware. As time passes there are less and less options to get 6-speed cars and it will only get worse. Be curious how the TTRS market evolves over the next 5-10 years given it’s manual, engine used, and limited #. The RS4’s done very well. Not what I bought the car for but still think it will level out and hold a fairly nice value…
Sedan looks ok but the hatch rounds out the car better. I would like to see the 2.5t motor in more cars. I think the 2.5t motor has more potential then even the new 3.0t
Would love to see this stateside. Such an awesome daily, both sedan and hatch. Manual would be like an icing on a cake, one could dream amirite…
too little but cool nonetheless
Im pretty disappointed with the leaked photo. No widebody, and they changed the headlights. IMO from the photo, it looks very boring. Maybe in person it will be different.
wheres the leaked photo you speak of?
+1
http://www.quattroworld.com/future-models/2018-audi-rs-3-sedan-confirmed/
What we know:
+400 Horsepower from an all new aluminum block 2.5-Liter inline-5 engine
7-Speed S-Tronic Gearbox
Optional Audi Virtual Cockpit
Optional Audi RS 3 specific shell seats
It will have a facelifted appearance vs current RS 3 Sportback
New headlight design and front grill
Wider track than the S3
What we don’t know:
Price
Best guess: $55,000-$60,000 starting
ETA
Best guess: Late 2017
Looks good!
still rumours.
‘Sources have said’
Looks like it will happen, but it’s funny to watch everyone proclaim it as ‘confirmed’ when it has not yet been confirmed in any way.
Quattrofail at its finest there.
The platform has a shitload of potential with the DSG and aluminum 2.5 5 cylinder. But i was REALLY wanting a widebody with it.
again…what are you talking about?
how are you complaining about the body of a car that hasn’t even been announced yet and has not been spy photographed?
You referenced a ‘leaked photo’ from a few months ago that was not a spy photo but was actually a drawing by someone on a car blog on what it might look like. They basically put a honey comb grille on an S3.
Im talking about a photo from an Audi employee event that was people who were for Audi were invited to said they watched that exact car get unveiled and was told to them that it is the RS3.

In what way does that look like a drawing? There is more photos up of it as well. IF that is indeed that RS3 im disappointed as I would hope that would make it a widebody
That is one beautiful and sexy car.
Any new news
Als any news on next gen rs5 or if rs4 is coming here?
There was a leak photo on Fourtitude of all the model years and cars coming. Link below
It appears 2017 for RS3 and 2018 for RS5
Rs3 sedan will be neat. Too small for me to care
That is cool. Not sure I want to wait that long for these cars though. I guess we will see how things pan out!
