Watch Audi Test Drivers Awkwardly Cover Up A TT RS Prototype After Binning It At The ‘Ring
After crashing out at the Nurburgring during testing, the occupants of this Audi TT RS prototype have nothing left to do but sheepishly cover it up before it's towed away
Expected to make its debut at the incoming Paris motor show, the new TT RS will be powered by an almost entirely new 2.5-litre turbocharged five-cylinder engine. Power-wise, we can expect anything up to 400bhp, and the same engine is expected to make an appearance in the future RS3 saloon. For a look at the TT RS sans camo or tarp, head over here to see an undisguised example that was spotted in the wild recently.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Why do they always edit to cover faces and number plates?
Respect to the people involved…
There was oil on the track, causing the crash.
As you can see in the first clip and immediately after the crash there is no cement dust on the road but a damp looking strip.
When the car is recovered there is a strip that has been covered with sand/cement dust to cover the oil slick. You can also see that the oil slick continues past the crash, meaning it was there before the crash happened.
Thank you for the info.

Well at least they started getting the crash tests out of the way.
Guess there’s a driving job at Audi now if any of you live locally 😄
“Awfully sorry, we wanted to see how it would handle with quattro disengaged”.
Mullets get crushed anyways, would love to strip it for parts tho
I’d cover it up too if I was ripping Porsches back end off.
What’s more interesting is to see the armco repair process…
