The little TT from the Audi started its career in 1998 with a 180 hp engine.
In 2017 the TT RS Coupe had twice that.

Audi has a long history with the 5-cylinder engines, which were installed on the first Audi Coupe in the late ’70s. And they installed it also in their little Coupe TT RS with very good results on the clock.

The TTRS could be spotted due to its larger intakes on the front bumper, with a lower silver lip. The rear-view mirror cases were painted in silver as well. From the side, the TTRS was equipped with bespoke 20” light-alloy wheels to flush to the bodywork. A big wing was installed on the trunk lid and, to complete the sport’s image, the TTRS featured two big oval exhaust pipes left and right of a big diffuser.

Inside the cabin, the Audi R8 steering-wheel captured the attention with its red starting button on it. The Audi Virtual Cockpit was standard for the TTRS. The bucket seats were nicely crafted in leather and Alcantara.

But the main reason why the TTRS was sought after was its performances. With a 400 hp engine transferred to the all four wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch S-Tronic gearbox, the TTRS was a baby supercar, a threat to the Audi R8 which, in some versions was only 0.1 seconds faster on 0 to 100 kph (0-62 mph) than the top of the range TT.
