Audi TT RS Driving Experiences

The Audi TT RS marked the supercar marque’s debut into the compact sports car market, receiving its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show in 2009. Developed at their high performance division Quattro GmbH in Germany, this Audi model is the dictionary definition of ‘small but mighty’ when it comes to supercars.

For whilst its 2.5 litre Inline 5 petrol engine is smaller than the V10 engine you’re used to finding in an R8, it really does deliver on performance, and the speed stats speak for themselves: 0 - 60 mph in 4.6 seconds, and a breathtaking top speed of 155 mph.

The quattro four-wheel drive system that is a feature of all Audi’s models houses a short-shift close-ratio six-speed manual transmission, offering smooth handling and effortless grip for the driver when they take it out on the road or track.

You might be wondering about the ‘RS’ aspect of the Audi TT RS’ name and its significance. This is basically a unique distinction for those Audi models which are known as halo cars.

What this means is that these are the models which are pioneering and utilising their most up to date features and technology that are yet to feature in their more commercially available models.

These features sometimes don’t appear on the more commercially available models until years in advance, so you can be sure that with the TT RS, you’re taking to the wheel for the most exclusive of all Audi driving experiences.
