The Audi TT RS: Sporty Powerhouse with Five Cylinders — Audi TT RS

1 min to read

HERNDON, VA - 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 2.5L engine produces well above 300 bhp.

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. The Audi TT RS takes less than five seconds to reach 100 km/h (62.14 mph) and 155.34 mph is the limited top speed only on paper.

The quattro permanent all-wheel drive system, a sophisticated chassis, and 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.
