My fraternal twins

Since picking up my Audi on August 10th, it's become my mostly daily driver. The JCW is doing commuter duty once or twice a week and bike weekender trips. Had them both out this afternoon and clicked a quick photo.

Love them both. Is that a TTRS?

I had a smiler looking garage with my 2010 JCW and A 2004 TT roadster until we found out that Baby is on the way. No room for a car seat in the roadster. I miss it and droll over just about everyone I see.

Enjoy them both!!!!

I had a 2002 TT 225Q Coupe,the only car i've ever kept for more than 3 years.
Tempted to replace the JCW with a TT in January although i can't afford the RS,maybe the S.
Nobody beats Audi in design and lately they have taken performance very seriously,your car as an example.
Congrats!

Yes. I asked for one over a year ago at the local dealer right after Audi did a "soft" press launch in the US. The possibility of them coming here was still a rumor then but I figured they wouldn't have exposed the press to them if they didn't at least think they might be coming.
I got to order the first one from my dealer in May of this year and got it in August. Audi has been vague about exactly how many they intend to import, but good sources say only 315 have been ordered/sold to dealers so far.
It's the fastest thing I've ever owned by far. The wall of torque starting at 2K rpms puts you into post-legal speeds before you're in 3rd gear, and the handling is so neutral feeling. A few reviews have carped on it being "too easy to drive fast" but I don't see that as a problem. I love my JCW, but the Audi feels and performs like a car that costs almost twice as much, as it should.

I think your JCW has a nose bleed.

I would love to have one. If Audi brings the new RS3 to America I might be temped to lose the JCW and get one of those. The TTRS is just a bit small for the family now.
