Is this true, I've read a few different articles about it, some saying it is and others saying its not.

The TT-RS is in my opinion a direct rival to the 1M, both will be offered in the US at roughly the same time, both will be pushing out around 350hp (this has been confirmed for the Audi) and both will be manual.

The TT-RS is an exceptional good car to drive, far more enjoyable and exciting than the RS5 in my opinion, it's got an engine note to die for and though I have warmed to the looks of the 1M it doesn't hold a patch on the TT-RS, both inside and out. The performance difference between both will be little at best and until the 1M is released and compared we won't know for sure which will be quickest either in acceleration or on the track, after all the TT-RS is as quick as the standard M3 is when not equipped with it's r-compound rubber and I doubt BMW will want the 1M stepping too much on big brother's toes.

Price is the one area I reckon the 1M will win, BMW are very strong price wise in the US compare to the rest of the world and I reckon it will undercut the Audi by a good 10-15%, but then how much can you put on the value of good looks.

Either way I think both will be great to own and will bring years of pleasure in slightly different ways.

I heard the TT-RS will be around 60k...Way out of my budget. Maybe used in a couple years. Seems a bit steep.

Unless that 60k figure is coming from Audi America, I wouldn't trust it until an official cost is out for it.

Given that the TT-S coupe is already $47k, it seems pretty safe to say that the TT-RS will be at least $60k.

^ Exactly. its going to be VERY expensive.
