Audi TT-RS teased before Geneva debut
Click for enlarged image
Audi has released a short teaser press release for the latest and most powerful variant of the Audi TT they will be unveiling at the Geneva Auto Show, the Audi TT-RS. Hot on the tail of the TT-S which featured a tuned up 2.0 TFSI engine, the new Audi TT-RS has been revealed to use a force inducted inline-5 engine, something that used to be a regular feature in the Audis of the past.
It’s likely to be a turbocharged 2.5 liter unit, basically you could consider it to be one-half of the 5.0 liter V10 turbo in the RS6. A normally aspirated version of this 2.5 liter engine is also found in the Volkswagen Rabbit (Golf) sold in the US. It will feature direct injection, quattro permanent all-wheel drive and great brakes to boot.
0 to 100km/h is said to be achieved in under 5 seconds, thanks to a good power to weight ratio allowed by its Audi Space Frame chassis. We’ll have to wait until the Geneva show for more details of this mini-R8, so stay tuned! For the moment, let us ponder upon this – Volkswagen is scrapping the V6 from its next generation R-model Golf. Instead of a high-boost version of the 2.0 TFSI, couldn’t we see this motor slotted in?

Their Lighting designs just are simple breathtaking.

Has the engine been made or it’s just on the drawing board? I wonder how does the torque/power curves like compared to Focus ST’s engine.

Yeah, why compare to Focus ST. There’s simply no comparison at all between the two. The Audis are way, way ahead.
German-made. My type of 4-wheelers.
