Spied: TT RS Facelift Testing

Although the TT RS was only announced in 2016, it looks like Audi Sport is already working on an update for this little fire breather.

Our spy photographers have caught a facelifted TT RS testing out in the wild and even though it’s camouflaged, there are some visual updates we can see.

For starters, the grille looks a little wider, while the headlights look a little slimmer—though that may be a trick of the eye as a result of the camouflage.

These headlights certainly do have a new LED strip for the DRLs and the side sills have grown.

‘Round back, the taillights have a new design and it looks like there are some changes happening to the back bumper.

Based on the car’s grille and wing, it’s believed this is a development mule for the TT RS, however, it’s conspicuously missing the characteristic oval tailpipes, complicating the situation, oval piped TT mules were also spotted but they didn’t have the matching rear wing.

Interior updates are also likely and there’s always the potential for more power, though the 400 hp TT RS could never be accused of wanting for more.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
