I would not spend anymore $$$ than for a S3 on a transverse engine car. Makes no sense to me and you can be darn sure Audi will charge a pretty penny for the RS3.

I'm currently driving the S3. My god is it good; if I didn't get press cars and required a year-round daily, this would be it. I would like an RS3 very much.

Benhaze wasn't talking about the engine, but rather the transverse orientation.  IIRC, the rally car was longitudinally mounted.

I think the point is that he missed the fact that Snowy's TT is a TT RS.

Lol.  Well played.  But that's a rear mounted engine, driving the rear wheels.
