A track-focused example of the lauded Audi TT RS, modified towards long-distance endurance racing, and prepared with reliability in mind. Power comes from the 2.5-litre TFSI inline-five, coupled to a six-speed manual gearbox. The car was previously recorded as an insurance write-off in 2013, as a result of water damage. A bare shell rebuild was subsequently undertaken with the engine and gearbox being rebuilt and new electronics installed. In 2021, the car competed in its first race since the rebuild, where it finished 13th overall and fifth in the ‘A1’ class at the Australian Production Car Championship’s Bathurst 6 Hour. This TT RS has been wrapped with a black, red, grey, and white livery, with yellow accents on the door mirror caps, around the headlights and on the front splitter. It rides on 18-inch ten-spoke ATS Motorsport wheels, housing AP Racing brake callipers, and shod with MRF tyres. Inside, its partially stripped interior features a racing Sparco steering wheel which also controls the radio and driver’s on-board drink system, a single Cobra bucket seat with a Schroth Racing harness, a full roll cage, and a digital Motech display which provides telemetry and fuel data. Accompanying the vehicle will be a collection of spare parts. Spare parts included: Eight lightweight alloy wheels (two full sets) Racing tyres, some near new, some used Several sets of springs Driver’s side door (glass missing) Rear and front lights Exhaust Intercooler Intake plenum Pistons, conrods, and valves Miscellaneous engine and suspension parts Various stone chips and scratches can be seen across the car’s livery, in keeping with its competition use. Inside, there are minor surface marks on both door cards, scratches on the entry sill plates, wear on the steering wheel, and what appears to be a small tear on the base of the Cobra seat. A small patch of tape can be seen on the seat’s back support. The seller is not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults. The engine was rebuilt by Gibson Motorsport to a Blueprinted standard at a cost of $28,000. This Audi TT RS is a race-prepared example of the impressive contemporary sports car, built to Australian Production Car Championship specification and which competed in the 2021 Bathurst 6 Hours, where it finished fifth in the ‘A1’ class. Reportedly built with reliability in mind, it would now make a competitive and dependable entrant for a raft of motorsport events.
