For a while now, we've had a feeling that Audi perfectly explain a contradiction between what journalists say buyers want and what they actually want.
The Audi TT should be nothing more than a VW Golf in the body of a hairdresser's car, a machine for posing and nothing else. Its handling shouldn't be anything special, its performance tainted by having turbocharged engines.
But Audi owners rightfully believe their cars are efficient, reliable and very fast. As this video proves, even the TT can be a killer. During a Quarter Mile event in Germany, the TT RS showed the new kid on the block what it's got.
We don't know if these cars are stock or not, but Audi owners will surely share this, boasting about the performance of their little quattro rocket, an older sportscar that can take on AMG's speedy A 45. They're going to be biased, we're sure. But what's wrong with liking a brand over all others?
