New details and images of the Audi TT RS

Audi have revealed some details, along with a few images on the new Audi TT RS. The Audi TT RS will be at the Geneva Show in March, and the RS marks the range-topping TT model.

Power for the TT RS will come from a 2.5-litre turbocharged direct-fuel-injection engine, and this motor will be capable of pushing out over 300-hp. Audi are expecting the TT RS to get from 0-100km/h in about 5 seconds, with the top speed then being limited to 155mph. Audi’s TT RS will feature quattro all-wheel-drive and some new brakes.

More details will be revealed at the Geneva Show. Stay tuned!

 

Press Release:

Sporty Powerhouse with Five Cylinders

- This top model will debut at the Geneva Auto Show
- Direct gasoline injection and a turbocharger deliver far more than 300 bhp
- Top-notch chassis, big brakes, and quattro drivetrain

Audi is once again producing a five-cylinder powerhouse: the Audi TT RS will be unveiled to the world at the Geneva Auto Show. Its turbocharged 2.5-liter engine produces well above 300 bhp. It also delivers explosive acceleration, driving delight, and unrivalled sound.

A legend is reborn. After all, powerful five-cylinder gasoline engines have a long legacy at Audi. And the turbocharged direct-fuel-injection engine in the TT RS is the new torchbearer of this dynamic tradition. It enables the TT RS to perform extraordinary feats. For example, it needs nowhere near five seconds to reach 100 km/h (62.14 mph); overtaking is child’s play; and 250 km/h (155.34 mph) is the limited top speed only on paper.

The quattro permanent all-wheel drive system, a sophisticated chassis, and stupendous brakes keep a tight rein on the power. All in all, the compact TT RS – with its lightweight and largely aluminum body constructed as per the Audi Space Frame principle – is a driving machine to be reckoned with.
