The news about Audi’s TT-RS coming to South Africa is not revolutionary news at all, in fact, their site tells us about this. The Audi TT-RS will only be released in 2010 where it will boast a 2.5-litre in-line five cylinder engine with turbocharging.

The power for the TT-RS will be a whopping 250kW. The 0-100km/h time will be 4.6 seconds for the coupe, and 4.7 seconds for the Roadster model. Audi will attach a six-speed manual gearbox to the car.

The German automaker has ensured that the TT-RS will boast pure driving thrill with excellent performance and charged emotion.

Fuel consumption figures for the TT-RS range from 9.2 to 9.5-litres per 100km.

All of this information is already online, however, what makes this story worthy are the following two points.

The test cars have arrived, and this could mean loads of new spy shots.

Following the TT-RS on its test-quest around the country will be the Audi Q7 TDI.

Check out the respective models below.

Edit: The gold colour on the TT-RS is a prototype colour and Audi is testing to see what the reaction would be. If the reaction is good, they will bring the colour to the range.
