TT RS – Automobiles Review

Audi team announces details for the new 2019 TT RS machine!

2019 Audi TT RS comes with even more appealing looks and even more dynamic driving dynamics. Making its debut at the New York International Auto Show. The revised vehicle introduces Audi enthusiasts and byers to a new face, enhanced technologies and tons of standard features. Let‘s check out more!

Exterior design

The new family member features one of the most aggressive appearances yet in the entire Audi lineup. With its matte black Singleframe grille and Quattro script, the TT RS meets new model year with even more confidence and elegance. Additional radiators are located behind the honeycomb grille and improve the cooling process, while the wide and muscular stance remind everyone that Audi engineers know what they are doing!

Standard features include full LED headlights with LED daytime running lights and standard LED taillights with dynamic rear turn signals. Furthermore, the TT RS is offered with OLED rear taillights for an impressive 3D design.

And last, but most certainly not least, 2019 TT RS can be specified with neat 19-inch 5-arm Audi Sport wheels in titanium matte finish and optional 20-inch Audi Sport 7-spoke design forged wheels with red brake calipers and a Sport exhaust system with black tips.

Interior design

The cabin is entirely driver-focused, which does not mean that any kind of comfort or utility features we compromised or removed. In fact, driver and passengers will enjoy a smooth ride with fine Nappa leather RS Sport seats with honeycomb stitching and deeply sculpted adjustable side bolsters.

There are also Audi virtual cockpit, an entire digital instrument cluster with 3D graphics, Audi phone box, smartphone incorporation, Bang & Olufsen audio system and numerous more gadgets that altogether ensure pleasurable and rewarding driving experience.

Drivetrain system

New Audi TT RS comes with a 2.5-liter TFSI power unit, a distinctive five-cylinder system that generates a total of 394 horsepower and 35lb-ft of torque. This leads to a pretty fast 3.6-second sprint from 0 to 100km/h and also to a rather responsive and smooth acceleration, due to the exclusive 1-2-3-4-5-3 ignition sequence. This means that the ignition alternates between the adjacent cylinder and those further apart. Neat!

The output power is proceeded via a seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch gearboc that provides high levels of performance and acceleration. With S tronic dual-clutch gearbox, TT RS also offers a launch control program that allows a heightened level of acceleration through engine speed and automated clutch release. Additionally, the standard Quattro permanent AWD system comes with the capability to send nearly 100 per cent of the available torque to the rear wheels. At the same time, a dedicated traction control system manages the distribution for optimal acceleration with minimal slip.

2017 Audi TT RS revealed! There are new taillights! How original!

2017 Audi TT RS 400PS New Audi TT RS is about to be released! The latest addition to the sporty lineup will feature 400hp (298kW) via five-cylinder engine and it will be available for order in this November! Available in Coupe and Roadster body types, this one got our attention! Here’s why.

There are numerous additions to the latest guy in the lineup. First of all, the whole vehicle is lighter with a total of 26kig and features fresh new 2.5-liter TFSI engine with dual injection system and further improved fuel efficiency. Or, in other words, the power output is measured at 400hp and 480Nm of torque, which means 60 more horsepower and 30Nm of additional torque, compared to the predecessor model.

Also present is the seven-speed S tronic gearbox that not only reduces the overall weight with a total of 2 kilograms, but also delivers some agile ride, thanks to the 4 selectable driving modes: Comfort, Auto, Dynamic and Individual.

The additional Dynamic Package

This goodie improves the suspension system and adds new dampers that are filled with special oil in order to adapt damper’s operating characteristics to the required profile in matter of seconds. Also, the lowered body ensures that the 19-inch wheels not only bring style, but also they fit the arches more amply.

The pack also contributes to the improved braking system. There are new internally ventilated and perforated steel discs with eight-piston calipers with 370 millimeters in diameter and monoblock discs at the rear, measured at 310mm.

Exterior styling

The TT RS impresses with its distinctive body language. There are large air inlets, Singleframe grille with restyled honeycomb lattice and of course, the Quattro logo. There are numerous body finishes that customers can choose among, including the new Nardo Grey and Catalunya red metallic. But if these do not satisfy the customer, he can have his exclusive paint job via the Audi Exclusive Program. Generally, what we have here is one neat-looking Audi machine with all of brand’s signature lines and curves, but also incorporating something fresh for the upcoming 2017 season. We tend to like it.

Also, there are some kind of new lights that Audi team heavily insists on showing to the audience. There are these new Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode lights at the rear that not only are shaped in brand’s famous logo, but also emit extremely homogeneus and high contrast light. This light can be dimmed, does not cast shadows and does not require any reflections. Cool.

Another milestone technological development is also available to enhance the exterior of the TT RS. It can be specified with Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) rear lights which make their Audi series production debut here. These advanced new lamps in 3D design comprise four wafer-thin units, the largest of which bears the TT logo and the four Audi rings. They emit an extremely homogeneous, high-contrast light which can be continuously dimmed, does not cast any shadows and does not require any reflectors, making them both efficient and visually impressive.

Interior Styling

The inside welcomes the driver and passengers to incredibly dynamic and sporty ambience. There are sweet sporty seats, wrapped in Fine Nappa leather, while the rest of the interior is dominated by Alcantara.

Of course, Audi’s virtual cockpit thing is present and can aid the driver via the large 12.3-inch display. This virtual thing displays mapping from the MMI navigation plus system, serves as Audi Connect Online projector, highlights Audi Connect features and of course, gives access to numerous Internet-based apps and websites.

Meet the Strongest Audi TT RS on the Planet!

HPerformance Audi TT RS Front View Despite, the strong start of the auto show in Los Angeles, there are other ‘things’ going on in the automotive world and we should not deprive you from them. An instance is the latest project of the HPerformance based on the Audi TT RS. As a matter of fact, the tuning team claims that this is the worldwide strongest TT RS ever produced and the reason for this is that it pumps out 750 PS.

The team has already dealt with this model, but the horses it achieved were no more than 510 (read in the article in the link below). However, this time these talented guys were brave enough to create a TT RS worth of the number 750. And it might really be the strongest among all Audi TT RS cars out there.

HPerformance Audi TT RS Engine

At the heart of the customization is the modified GTX-35 turbocharger. It was applied to an in-house-made exhaust manifold. How about the cooling? It happens via company’s own charge air cooler. The air feed is guaranteed by a 90 mm air intake and it goes out through 90 mm Clubsport exhaust system.

Furthermore, the fuel feed was also ‘touched’ a little bit with the help of a modified high-pressure fuel pump and new optimized injectors. Audi R8 ceramics brake system was also installed, in order to tame the wild 750 PS.

At last, prepare to see more from the TT RS soon, because HPerformance is currently working on a tuning kit, which will trespass this power range too. Stay tuned!

HPerformance Imagines Audi TT RS Clubsport in a Very Nice Way

HPerformance Audi TT RS Clubsport is a project we couldn’t pass. The car not only looks amazing with its black ‘dress’ and purposeful stance, but also has more power than its stock siblings. This of course, brings it one step closer to the dream car of many (including me) with its 500+HP potency.

So basically the tuners at HPerformance, who are by the way from Germany, have specialized in hardware and software modifications for the AUDI 5 cylinder models. Their practice has also led them to optimizing the present car: the stunning Audi TT RS Clubsport. Let’s see the effects they have achieved on it.

HPerformance Tuning in Details

HPerformance Audi TT RS Clubsport Engine

HPerformance has developed specific software for this Audi with the cool guys at MRT Performance. The uprate is ‘rated’ stage 5 and is supported by HPXT530 turbocharger, in-house made charge air cooler and 90 mm suction device with Ram air function.

Furthermore, the specialists have also installed plugs and high-pressure pump. As a matter of fact, due to the addition of 90 mm piping, the HPerformance Clubsport exhaust export version ‘screams’ like never before. The smart tuning for this TT RS includes new rollover bar, KW coilovers, Uniball strut towers and Mov’it racing brake system. The latter has 370×35 mm brake discs on the front and discs in 342×28 mm on the rear axle.

Enhanced Aerodynamics and End Result

HPerformance Audi TT RS Clubsport Rear View

In terms of aerodynamics, HPerformance has added big carbon-fiber Clubsport lip, lateral front flaps and a rear wing. As a result, the power output of the Audi TT RS Clubsport now reaches 510 HP (375 kW), while the optimum torque – 690 Nm (509 lb-ft).

Isn’t it a nice way to start your day riding this beautiful and powerful machine on your way to work? Ah, just dreaming…

Audi TT-RS vs Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and BMW M6 F13 Coupe [video]

A powerful Audi TT RS Mk.2 Revo Technik Stage 3 is the new star in Unlimited 500+ drag racing series. The compact sports car is powered by a 2.5 liter turbocharged five-cylinder TFSI engine originally delivering 360HP (265 kW) and 465Nm (343 lb-ft). The Revo Technik Stage 3 version is boosted to 530HP (390 kW), which appears to be enough to beat extremely powerful vehicles.

In the first start, the TT RS Revo Technik won versus a Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1 V&S / IPS Motorsports with 850HP (625 kW). The Audi crossed the finish line (1 km distance) in 19.255 seconds with 266 km/h, while the Chevy needed 20.961 seconds with 271 km/h. The ¼ mile times are 10.465 seconds with 216 km/h and 12.155 seconds with 211 km/h, respectively.

In the second start, the less powerful Audi was versus BMW M6 F13 Coupe PP-Performance Stage 2+ with 720HP (529 kW). The Audi won again – 19.263 seconds with 265 km/h (1 km) and 10.442 seconds with 213 km/h (1/4 mile), while the BMW finished in 21.397 seconds with 266 km/h (1 km) and 12.404 seconds with 206 km/h (1/4 mile).

It very interesting, that the tuned TT-RS has almost the same power output as the recently unveiled Audi A3 Clubposrt Quattro Concept powered by the same engine, but with 525HP (386 kW) and 600Nm (442 lb-ft) of torque.

Enjoy!

Audi TT RS [render]

X-Tomi Design has published an awesome render picture of the upcoming Audi TT RS. It is extremely aggressive, but in the same time carries the unique style of the latest Audi cars. The recently announced 3^rd generation of TT has already get an S version, so it is quite possible the German manufacturer will make a super-powerful RS model.

Still, it is quite early for the top-of-range model, but the RS will basically look a lot like TT-S. To match the aggressive exterior, the TT-RS will come with an improved 2.0 liter TFSI engine with around 400HP (294 kW) compared to the 310HP (228 kW) and 380Nm (280 lb-ft) of torque power unit in TT-S.

Of course, Audi TT RS is expected no sooner than 2015, which will be followed by even more spectacular version – TT RS Plus coming sometime in 2016.

The TT range will be joined by Audi TT Offroad production model with a hybrid powertrain including a four-cylinder 2.0 liter TFSI working together with two electric motors. The combined output is 408HP (300 kW) and 650Nm (479 lb-ft). 0-100 km/h in 5.2 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). The Plug-in hybrid is able to cover 50 km (31 miles) in electric mode.

HPerformance Tunes Two Audi TT RS Models

Not one but two Audi TT RS models were tuned by the German specialists at HPerformance. The main goal was to make them more individual than ever with the help of crafted rough materials as stainless steel, aluminum and carbon.

Both vehicles make the perfect contrast to each other – one has a glossy white paint finish and the other comes in mat black. They were equipped with company’s exhaust system, which is type „sound at will”. Precisely, the turbocharger here has 80-mm pipe beginning from on one side, and on the other with two 76-mm pipes.

Then, the cars were equipped with HJS racing cats and valve commands that are adjustable via key switches or remote control. The intercooler was made of aluminum and the upgrade turbocharger HPXT-510 sports Hperformance suction system „street“ with 80 mm suction pipe. The latter optimizes the intake manifold and RAM air charging behind the front.

In terms of power, both Audis make a big impression. Their force has been enhanced via a special ignition plugs and software adaptation, which eventually results in 500 hp (368 kW) and 660 Nm (487 lb-ft) of torque.

What is the difference except for the exterior color? Well, the white TT RS got Hperformance clutch upgrade with single mass flywheel, reinforced pressing plate and sintered metal friction washer. On the other hand, its mat black sibling received a step 3 DSG adaptation.

At last, both TTs has been equipped with Bilstein B16 coilovers, H&R stabilizers, all around installed ceramic braking systems and steel flex braking pipes.

Audi TT RS – Moments of Truth [HD video]

The new TT RS has a true racing pedigree just like the legendary 90 Quattro model. The German manufacturer claims that there is a connection between the 5-cylinder Quattro and the hot new TT RS.

Both cars put the power on the road through Quattro AWD and have 5-cylidner turbocharged engine. However, Audi 90 Quattro in its race version had around 600 horsepower, which is almost double than the 360HP in the 2.5-liter of the TT RS.

Also the rally car was just 1 090kg (2403 lbs) meaning a stunning power-to-weight ratio. The performance is incredible. 0 -100 km/h in 3.1 seconds and the top speed depended on the selection of gears. Some of the car had a special power-shift gearbox, which resembles the double-clutch technology.

The TT RS is also very fast to 100 km/h – only 4.1 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph) – electronically limited.

Audi TT RS Plus

Just when you think an Audi TT RS can’t get any better, a ‘plus‘ edition turns up and bends your perception of what is good and what is really good. When we say really good, we mean blisteringly fast, outstandingly fun and unmatched in terms of performance. Whichever ‘plus‘ you might choose, the Coupe or the Roadster, you can’t go wrong.

The standard 2.5 TFSI 5-line engine found in the RS is already powerful enough but the ‘plus’ sees a further power boost from 340 hp to 360 hp. Now an even more colossal torque figure of 465 Nm (342.97 lb-ft) passes trough the gearbox which can be an seven-speed S tronic or a six-speed manual. The S tronic is naturally a dual-clutch transmission and has its own launch control for that lightning performance from the starting line. All models come with the flawless quattro system that sends power to all four wheels.

Performance figures are a little bit in favor of the S tronic transmission coupled with a Coupe: a 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) time for the Coupe S tronic is 4.1 seconds with 4.3 seconds for the manual. The Roadster performs a tenth of a second slower in both configurations (4.2 with S tronic and 4.4 with a manual). The speed limiter for both cars kicks in at 280 km/h (173.98 mph). All of that stacks up pretty well against the economy figures which allow the RS to be driven on an everyday basis – 8.5 liters of fuel per 100 km (27.67 mpg) if you go with the S tronic.

That fuel frugality, as well as the agile acceleration, is partly due to the diet on which the RS had been put. (They should have called it the ‘minus’). The Coupé with manual transmission, including quattro drive, weighs just 1,450 kilograms (3,196.70 lb). Other factors which might help the track performance include the four-piston calipers of the big ventilated front brake disks, the large fixed rear wing and the optional electro-magnetic damping suspension that has been a trademark the TT line for ages. The car itself sits on four 19-inch cast wheels (black with red lining on the rim) which are wrapped in wide 255/35 tires.

A striking feature that may give the car away as a ‘plus‘ version is the front grille – it’s a mesh of diamond-patterned design framed in what look like aluminum. Apart from that, there are the wing mirrors which are made from a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) and the exhaust system which is distinguishable with its black oval tailpipe trims. A sound flap on the pipes, which enhances the roar from the engine is the car’s party piece.

In Germany, the ‘plus’ versions are priced as follows:

Coupe, manual transmission – €60,650 ($80,434)

Coupe, S tronic – €62,800 ($83,285)

Roadster, manual transmission – €63,500 ($84,214)

Roadster, S tronic – €65,650 ($87,065)

2012 Audi TT-RS Price – $56 850

Audi US priced the 2012 TT RS at 56 850 -excluding destination charges, taxes, title, options and dealer charges.

It is powered by a 2.5 liter turbocharged five-cylinder TFSI engine with 360PS (265 kW) and 465Nm (343 lb-ft) between 1 650 and 5 400RPM. The engine comes with forged six-bearing crankshaft, weight optimized connection rods, sodium cooled exhaust valves and lightweight pistons with specifically adapted ring assembly.

The engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission and quattro all-wheel drive as standard. 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) takes just 4.1 seconds, so the 2012 TT-RS is the fastest in its class.

The suspension features magnetic ride, which constantly adapts to the current driving situation. A sport mode stiffens the magnetic ride, enhances throttle responsiveness, and activates a more striking engine sound via flaps in the exhaust system.

The aluminum and steel hybrid ASF® technology also found on the TT and TTS models, reduces weight while helping increase rigidity and safety. The total weight of the car is 1500 kg (3 306 lb) .

The exterior features high gloss black diamond-patterned Singleframe® grille and large front air inlets giving notice of the vehicles performance, as does the fixed rear wing spoiler that provides increased down force. There are also oval exhaust pipes, rear diffuser, unique 19” rotor wheels, prominent body sills and exterior mirror housings in matte aluminum finish round out the RS-specific design elements.

The interior boasts contoured 3-spoke sport multifunction steering wheel, aluminum door sills with the RS logo, and RS-specific interior door handles. Other interior features include 10-way power sport front seats with three-step heating, leather seat coverings, brushed aluminum interior inlays, and available LED ambient lighting.

The Audi TT RS offers electronic features one expects from Audi, including Audi concert radio with single CD player and MP3 reading capability, and AM / FM / SAT radio with a complimentary 3-month subscription to SiriusXM® Satellite Radio. Available advanced electronics offer an increased level of sophistication for the premium sports car, including technologies like Audi navigation plus with real time traffic, MMI® inspired controls, a BOSE® sound system, and Audi music interface.
