Audi TT RS Coupe quattro
What is it?
AUDI’S svelte TT coupe gets the ultimate Audi performance treatment – the RS badge. And performance upgrade that goes with it. That means a five-cylinder 2.5-litre turbocharged engine delivering 340PS, dramatic RS styling, and a Sport button to boost throttle response and the accompanying five-cylinder engine sound track. Also available as an open-top Roadster.
What’s hot?
- Fantastic linear power delivery…
- …You don’t get the turbo thump in the back you expect…
- …but just a seamless source of forward momentum
- Delightful five-cylinder ‘warble’ engine note…
- …aurally boosted by Sport button which opens an exhaust flap
- Big brakes knock off speed quickly and reassuringly
- Ride quality is firm but supple
- Fast-shifting gearchange a pleasure to use
- 30.7mpg thanks to lightweight construction
- We averaged 25mpg without holding back on the 340PS
- Luxury interior features silk nappa leather…
- …metal drilled pedals and flat-bottomed steering wheel
What’s not?
- Doesn’t feature the driver engagement of a Cayman…
- …but has the advantage of not being a Porsche
- Large rear wing comes from the Audi drama department
- But can be deleted for more traditional Audi understatement
- It’s a big price for a TT Coupe…
- …and with extras like 19ins alloys, sat-nav Plus, mobile phone prep…
- It all just gets bigger

It’s a great drive that’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Add to that the fabulous five-cylinder engine with all its effortless low-down power, surprising economy, and you have a very satisfying TT Coupe. Even if it is a pricey TT Coupe.Further information
