The range-topping Audi TT RS Coupe (and its Roadster sibling)is a scintillating piece of machinery andthe high-performance model has been revised, giving it a more commanding presence on the road.

Michael-Julius Renz, CEO of Audi Sport GmbH said, "The new TT RS is in absolute peak form, like a well-trained athlete, it showcases even more prominently how much power lies beneath its muscular outer skin."

Styling changes

The front-end has been revised and features the matt-titanium quattro emblem sitting on the lower section of the single-frame grille in matt black while the lateral air intakes are now larger, creating a wider appearance than before. Additional radiators behind the RS honeycomb grille serve to enhance cooling.

The edgy look is further accentuated with a continuous spoiler painted in body colour as standard but is also offered in a matt aluminum finish or in gloss black. A gloss black inlay is also now seen in the side sills and the mirror housing can be had in either body colour, matt aluminium look, gloss black or carbon.

The rear-end sports a fixed wing with side winglets as well as an RS-specific diffuser with vertical elements and large oval exhaust tailpipes.

LED headlights will be offered as standard while Matrix LED headlights and Matrix OLED reversing lights will be offered as an option.

The TT RS rides on 20-inch gloss black alloy wheels as standard and will be offered in 9 colours including the new Kyalami Green, Pulse Orange and Turbo Blue. A number of individualisation options are also available to customers.

Interior details

The driver-focused interior features fine RS sports seats as well as Audi's now familiar Virtual Cockpit.

The driver is cosseted in Alcantara RS sports seats (Nappa leather optional) with the cabin focused on the driver. Audi’s 12.3-inch Virtual Cockpit takes pride of place while the multifunction steering wheel is equipped with shift paddles as well as engine start and Audi drive select buttons. In terms of infotainment, MMI navigation plus with MMI touch, voice control, free text search and WiFi capability will be on offer. The TT RS is also fitted with a 680 W Bang & Olufsen sound system.
