Audi introduced an evolved version of the TTS Roadster in early 2012 as a 2013 model-year, offering more power and a revised look for its compact roadster.
Thanks to the increased demand for sporty compact premium vehicles, Audi hit the jackpot with the TT and the TT Roadster. But soon, its customers asked for more. Then, the TTS and the TTS Plus versions came on the market.
With its aggressive stance and the unique look of the front bumper and apron, the TTS RS Plus roadster was a promise of performance. The silver accents on the lower lip spoiler and the diamond-pattern mesh grille flanked by two big air-inlets were unique for this version. Like any RS model, it sported the matte-silver door mirrors, while at the back, a fixed-wing adorned the trunk lid. Curiously, there were no specific side skirts for this, but it added 19" light-alloy wheels as standard. Last but not least, a set of oval-shaped exhausts poked through the rear apron.
Its cabin was fit for two occupants on a set of sport bucket seats with high bolstering areas. The roll-bars behind the seats were similar to the ones installed on the rest of the TT Roadster range. Additional badges and logos appeared on the seats, in the tachometer, and on the door sill trims. The driver's information system was specific to the RS and featured a turbo boost pressure gauge, oil temperature, and a lap timer.
The RS ran on a 2.5-liter turbocharged engine that produced 335 bhp. The engine was mated to either a 6-speed manual or seven-speed S-tronic automatic (twin-clutch) gearbox, and the power was sent in all corners. For the brakes, the carmaker employed four-piston fixed calipers and perforated rotors on the front axle.
