I'm not an Audi fan in the slightest but there's something special about the TT, as a seriously fast road car. The engine is a masterpiece. The M2 however.. that is a lovely package for a daily/track day car. Great driving, love it :)

sliwka621 I never said it was a 'track car'. I said 'track day car'. A friend of mine has an M2 and does 6/7 laps of the ring a day when he goes there. Just because the brakes didn't work well on that track, doesn't mean you can't take it on the track. It just needs some better pads and fluid maybe, and it might last longer.

Yeah basic changes are necessary in some cases to make great automobiles fit their intended purpose. The Miata is a great example. Out of the box it's pretty soft, but it's largely regarded as one of the best entry level sports cars out there due to the platforms ability to adapt to a track or spirited driving environment. If a few small things like brake pads are the issue, it's very easy to remedy and make a truly great car for your intended purpose.

@@sliwka621 Don't forget that the basic M2 comes with regular steel brakes that you can upgrade to the M sport version that i doubt he has on this one since he got the manual gearbox which is 0.2 second slower from 0-100 that the septronic gearbox (interresting btw knowing audi tt is ahead by 0.09 seconds on a lap). And i doubt the M sport brakes would stop working after a warm up lap ;)

Let’s be honest here: the guy was prepared to dislike the TT RS. The current trend command that good race drivers must praise manual trans and rear wheel drive. Everything else isn’t proper, just tolerated. So, the auto trans and awd weren’t welcome. The driver even say he lost time banging the rev limiter with the paddles because he doesn’t like to leave in auto. Well the way I see it is if you’re shooting for a fast lap you have to adapt to get everything the car can do! That said and being honest, the Cayman has the superior handling , the M2 is fun to drift and the TT RS could do better in the hands of a driver who commit to it. But I loved the video even if I don’t agree completely with the conclusion !

As someone who owns both an Audi and a BMW and worked for Audi I have to say you have to drive the Audi differently. If you drive the Audi like a standard RWD car and follow the racing line for a RWD car it will understeer. You have to drive it like a FWD car but you can get on the power way sooner than most other cars. I think with someone used to driving Audi's you could get the fastest time out of all those cars. Jethro is still a good driver tho, not denying that

Such a beautiful circuit ! I for one have never felt that a comparo between an AWD performance vehicle VS a Rwd one to have too much merit. It's apples and lettuce., but I get it ! it needs to be done and this film was awesome to watch. Thank you for doing it !!! Audi has always had a rigid design&safety belief that Understeer will keep their customers safe from potential harm ,especially with with a car with that much power. One just needs to adjust their driving style and intuition to take advantage of Quattro and the Sport Diff rear. The TT-Rs is geared for the general enthusiast market, a demographic that at best will only drive the RS to 7/10th's of its capability if even that and for the most part mainly floor it when they're going straight on the Expressway. Folks that want a car that looks the business, goes like stink and more importantly stops and scrubs speed better than anything in its class.No one will ever complain about the brakes on an RS car. My RS4 never runs out of brakes, nor did my old RS6. When it comes down to it, the Audi is a beast in any type of weather. I'll take that over a 1+ sec track lap advantage any day...because in the "real" world, that doesn't add up to a whole lot of beans. One also wonders what the times would be if Cup2's were standard instead of the Pirelli Corsa's that come on the TT as well as the new option of reverse stagger which is available on the US bound RS3. Lastly, that 5 pot is one of the most violently delicious sounds coming out of a bonnet in a long time, especially compared to the lawnmower concerto of the Cayman's 4...yuck !

Am driving the TT RS these days for my publication. I found the front end on the road to have a better bite than usual for Audi. Maybe it's the Yoko Advan tires, and I also felt the back end reacting nicely at gas pedal release mid corner, something unusual for Audi. If I could disconnect all the stability mgmt completely, I guess you could play with it a lot more. The engine is a real treat and yes, it sounds so much better than the Porsche. After nearly 30 years of waiting for the needle to pass the 5,000 rpm of the boxer aspirated angine and enter a proper world, now all these fking turbo engines are so linear that they lost their character. even on the 991... I was so disappointed on how boring are these new turbo engines

This has put me off the TTRS. That ploughing is horrendous! I wonder if the driver aides were on ? As Audi/VW driver aides tend are key to getting the thing to turn properly, with XDS+ giving the LSD effect and braking of inside wheels to make it pivot. I understand that track 🚘 ng you typically turn everything off, but as you don't need to worry about traction control cutting in on TTRS due to Quattro, I bet you get less understeer with the XDS+ being allowed to do it's thing.

Agreed, BMW's M-Division has lost its way in recent years. They've been tasked with increasing production and profits over building once spirited and exciting cars (but really, who hasnt in this day and age?). Porsche still has some of that luster left, but again is slowly being dwindled away with turbo only engine lineups or PDK only transmission options (thankfully they listen and we've been granted reprieve, for now).

The Porsche with a PDK and Sport Chrono would not be crushed, only slightly slower in a straight line (3.6 sec in a Car and Driver test, only 1/10th off the result for the TT RS here). Once the curves arrive, it's game over for the Audi, even with an average driver like you. The Audi does sound better...

Huge outlet, massive backing and budget; can't do an apples to apples comparison of these cars with their auto boxes. With the DCT the M2 would have beaten the considerably more powerful Audi around the track and with the PDK the Porsche would have been in a different stratosphere. That would be a fair reflection of these cars chassis', instead the Audi gets artificially boosted by having a faster box with closer ratios than either of the other two despite those two having that option.

If the fourth video only counts as 1 point out of 4 the winner would actually be the least pleasing car to drive out of the 3. I hope know one buys a TT based on these videos.

the quattro system relies on power being put down in the corners thats why it under-steers if you dont. try putting 10% power down when cornering and the quattro system will make the steering far more precise.

Neah, just better braking and it would be much better. He's not the only one complaining about the M2 brakes, I think i've heard that thing in other places also. Having better brakes means you could brake so much later and having more exit speed on the corners. I bet the M2 with proper brakes would give Cayman a run for his money.

RaGeAlucard Christ... why would I want to imagine that? The head of Audi's RS division laughed when asked why RSs don't come with manual transmissions any more. "Ha ha..our customers don't want such things." he said. The guy knows his buyers, and I'm glad they're kept in understeery, 4wd lumps filled with driver aids and airbags.

that Cayman even with a manual is faster on track no doubt even with 50 less hp then the Audi with pdk maybe a 1 or 2 second more now the cayman is a 2 seater 2 door so you have to consider that the car is a compromise in usability also while the audi have 4 seats 4wd granted the rear seats are quite useless the bmw is the real hero in my books honestly its 35 hp down on the ttrs better rear seats more boot space then either the cars and with the dct just as if not faster then the ttrs on track and its a front engine rear wheel drive best for drifting and having fun the audi cant really drift or slide just understeer the cayman dont like drifting

whats that whoosshy wind ish sound when the m2 revs high??? so confused, i swear thats not part of the inline 6 is it?? or is it because all sounds are recorded super close to exhausts? maybe that explains why my desk literally rumbles during the 718 part...my bass was just going crazy

Pretty telling that despite having a whole 51bhp more than the M2, and being 57kg lighter, the TT RS is still only a 10th of a second quicker around the track. Pretty clear that BMW's actual engineering and balancing is far superior to Audi's.

RS5 VS M3 E92 - Audi destroying. RS6 C6/C7 VS M5 E60/F10 - Audi is faster. TTRS VS M2 - Audi is faster. R8 VS M4 GTS (which you cant compare, GTS is special car with racing modifications, R8 is specially downgraded lambo, audi has lamborghini for super fast cars, R8 is "luxury" supercar, cheaper and slower, they can easly make audi R8, which making 6:50 in Nuburgring, but they have lamborghini for this ;)) fastestlaps.com/comparisons/a10v8c0lzn3h Yeah, Audi is ALWAYS faster and this is boring. You can compare RS5 B8 to 5 years newer M4 F30 etc, then bmw will be faster hehe.

Nope, I'm talking about generations. B8 is faster generation on track, than e90/e92 generation. These generations are rivals. F30/F32 is new generation. RS and M has same construction, wheelbase as their normal cars, so RS OF B8 generation is compared to M of M92 generation. Bmw did new generation, Audi not, you can compare old B8 to F30 if you want. You can compare B5 to F30, I don't care, I'm talking about official rival generations. B8 generation is faster, than E90 generation. Same as C6/C7 A6 is faster generation than series 5 E60/F10. M/RS is definition of their generations.

So much potential in the TT if VW group would ever allow it a new platform for itself and scrap the haldex based FWD/AWD system already! Imagine what could be done if that beautiful 5cyl sat back somewhere remotely close to the middle of the car and the torque split was rear biased instead of FWD with some added rear traction control.. But fuck proper engineering, let's work with what we got for 20 years of TT's! Hooorayy profit margins on pretty Golfs!
