Even standing next to it, you get a sense of something special. Yes, the front may share a similar design as the XF, but the XJ presents a more interesting look. With a chiselled front end, it blends into more plain-looking flanks. Little quirky details such as the blacked-out C-pillar and claw-slash rear light trails just add to the our likeability of this car.

Although it has already been more than a year, the TTRS isn’t exactly a hit among keen drivers here. You don’t know what to blame it on — that it initially came in only a 6-speed manual transmission? The boot size a joke? It looks similar to the entry-level TT? The price? All of the above? Sure, the clutch needs some getting used to and the gear changes isn’t as special as the 1 M’s, but look beyond that and you get a piece of Audi heritage in this car. A 5-cylinder 2.5-liter turbocharged heart, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission gives you 340bhp at 5,400rpm, and — like the 1 M — 450Nm from 1,600rpm.
