I'm not sure that's true anymore. Have a feeling the TT will come back in its current coupe/roadster guise.
Audi owners in here!

I saw it - the GT is basically a Taycan with a reshaped body and a less premium interior. I imagine there will be VW, Seat, Skoda, Bentley and Lamborghini versions coming over the next couple of years too.

Fingers crossed then, else I'll not have much of a club to run anymore lol!

My TTS went in for a new wheel bearing this morning, they just phoned to say my driveshaft has seized onto the hub. New one ordered but I won't get it back till tomorrow.
Could be worse i suppose.

I'd be happy for a mini GT like TT
I think something like that would be a great direction indeed.

How cheap is cheap? At some point I’ll have to change the discs and pads on the RS6. Audi want eye watering money to do it 
I’m no stranger to big bills, but it seems rather ott for consumables.

I got the pair for £245 (so not cheap compared to other more ‘regular’ cars).
They did have some RS6 discs for £180 a disc, can’t remember what year and no idea if that’s cheap for them!
They all sold pretty quickly though, but can be worth keeping an eye out on eBay. I’d been looking for a while waiting for a set at a decent price, but wasn’t expecting to get them that cheap.
For the RS3 it seems around £600 is the going rate for a set of Audi genuine parts, with Audi themselves charging £1100 for front discs and pads fitted.

Doesn’t look like they’ve got any RS6 discs at the moment, but do have a set of pads

No idea if that price is any good though?

Thanks, I think you did pretty well @ £245. The cheapest I can find genuine Audi stamped RS6 front discs are £885 a pair.
If I can find a better deal I’ll pick them up and fit them myself. I must be getting old, but I bulk at the idea of paying over a grand for the dealer to do something simple like discs and pads.

Wasn't using it. I've done about 100 miles in the last 12 months and it's rather expensive to just be sitting on the drive

I very much agree. No way on earth they'll get that for it. I sold it for £28k.It seems really expensive, 33k for a 3 year old A6
In my constant search/bounce from car to car - I am eyeing up a B8 RS4 Avant (as opposed to a newer M40i). Any particular things to be mindful of outside of gearbox/final drive oil being replaced and exceptional brake disc costs?
Is the general ownership cost going to be more M car or M"lite". Suspect I would maintain Extended warranty @ c.£1k per annum.
I feel (or hope) the depreciation on a well maintained one will be minimal (although not B7 appreciation).
I will probably prefer to pay a premium for Approved used with warranty, Full Audi SH - I guess about £30k for a lower mileage example?

My personal experience is that The ownership costs with Audi S/RS cars, while not cheap, have been less than M cars. In particular servicing and extended warranties. Parts however are quite expensive.
edit - I only run these with manufacturer/extended warranties and wouldn’t bother without. More than once they have paid for themselves and saved me a packet.

Yeah, I can see the value in the warranty - especially if an older performance car. Is the all parts worth over specified parts?
Just weighing up the cost benefit between these two (newer with Audi warranty vs older). Both seem a touch over priced
