Audi TT-RS: Turning up the heat

Audi TT-RS
The Audi TT-RS gets called a "reborn Quattro" and that might very well be true...
The ‘real’ Quattro is back! Auto Express has learned that Audi will equip its TT RS flagship with an all-new boosted five-cylinder engine, reviving memories of the original machine to wear the revered Quattro badge.

The news emerged after a letter intended to go to German Audi dealerships, confirming details about the hottest-ever TT, was leaked. In the document, it is confirmed that the RS will be powered by an all-new 2.5-litre super and turbocharged TFSI engine, with 335bhp and 450Nm of torque.

As a result, 0-60mph will take only 4.5 seconds, while top speed is limited to 155mph. And the TT RS will not only be extremely rapid, it will be economical, too, returning 28mpg.
