Meister Technik, the authorised importer
of Audi cars in Thailand, has launched three RS models to kick off its
high-performance portfolio. The debuting trio are the TT RS at 5.3 million baht, RS4 Avant at 5.9 million baht, and RS Q8 at an eye-watering
10.9 million baht.
For the price, the TT RS actually
undercuts the BMW M2 Competition by a million baht, but the
Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 S 4Matic+ costs 300,000 baht less than the TT RS at
5 million baht.
Meanwhile, the RS4 Avant has no direct
competitor in Thailand when it comes to body styles. It’s also more
attractively priced when pitted against the AMG C 63 S Coupé, which costs 10.1
million baht. The BMW M4 Competition and M4 CS, on the other
hand, are priced at 8.8 million baht and 11.4 million baht respectively.
The range-topping Audi Sport SUV model
sold in Thailand is the flagship RS Q8, which shares the same platform as the
Lamborghini Urus. It’s powered by an electrified 4.0 litre bi-turbo V8 petrol
engine that delivers 600 PS and 800 Nm of torque, which is only 50 PS and 50 Nm
less than the Urus. However, the RS Q8 costs half that of its Italian
counterpart, which is priced from 23.42 million baht.
