AUDITT RS Roadster 2016 - 2019

　　In 2016 Audi introduced at the same time the Audi TT RS and its open-top version, the TT RS Roadster. It was one of the fastest roadsters ever produced by the Audi at that time.

　　The Audi TT RS Roadster was less than a half of second slower than the Audi R8 Spider from that time, even if it had 140 hp less than the mid-engine Audi supercar. The price difference between the two vehicles was huge. Of course, the R8 was the much-famed vehicle but the compact roadster was clearly a better bang for the buck.

　　On the outside, the TT RS featured a large black singleframe grille with a silver rim and a silver front lip under the spoiler. It wasn't there only for the look, it had its reason for keeping the car planted on the road. The big side air-intakes in the bumper were needed to cool the brakes. The arched raked A-pillars were the same as in the TT Coupe and in the back, a retractable wing from the trunk-lid was extended automatically. Under the rear bumper, two oval chromed exhausts were breathing out loud the power from the engine.

　　Inside, the TT RS featured the same turbine-like air-vents and the Audi Virtual Cockpit for the instrument cluster. The sport-bucket seats featured a special design, with bigger bolstering on the sides.

　　The inline-five engine under the hood resembled the 5-cylinder engine from the glorious Audi S1 that dominated the World Rally Championship back in the '80s.
