Audi TT RS (09 on) - Review

Review by David Ross on
Last Updated: 18 May 2011
At the pinnacle of the TT range sits the high performance RS version, powered by a unique five-cylinder engine not found in any other Audi. The 2.5 TFSI unit delivers an impressive 340bhp and means the TT RS is quicker than its main alternatives including the Porsche Cayman S. It's available as either a Coupe or Roadster and comes with a distinctive RS body kit including larger bumpers and a fixed rear spoiler (although this can be swapped for the standard spoiler). Its thunderous pace is impressive and the quattro four-wheel drive system means there's always excellent grip and traction. It's not quite as involving to drive as some other two-seater sports cars, but it's not intimidating either, making it easy to live with day to day.
