The Five-Cylinder Engine Enables The Audi TT RS To Perform Extraordinary Feats

Audi is once again producing a five-cylinder engine – and a very special one at that. The TT RS has a turbocharged 2.5-litre TFSI® engine; it produces 340 PS and 450 Nm of torque.

The five-cylinder engine enables the TT RS to perform extraordinary feats. In conjunction with quattro permanent all-wheel drive and a high-performance chassis, the engine makes the compact Audi TT RS an exhilarating sports car – available as a coupé or roadster.

Designed from scratch, the five-cylinder engine combines a turbocharger with FSI direct petrol injection to elevate the TT RS to the high-performance sports car it is.

The Audi TT RS was developed by quattro GmbH as a pure, no-holds-barred driving machine. A new six-speed manual transmission conveys the engine’s tremendous power, and permits easy and precise operation thanks to a specially designed shift lever boasting particularly short shift travel. The transmission’s defining characteristics are a high efficiency ratio and a sportily narrow spread of the gear ratios.

The entire interior is black. The heated sports seats feature Silk Nappa leather with silver contrasting stitching and embossed TT RS logos in the front backrests. Additional badges and logos appear on the steering wheel, in the rev counter, and on the door sill trims. The inlays are made from brushed aluminum. Floor mats feature silver piping trim; footrests and pedals are in aluminum look.
