AUDI TT RS Roadster 2009-2014 Photos, engines & full specs

Audi introduced in 2009 the high-performance sport version of the Audi TT called the RS. The model is commercialized under the two body types as the normal version, meaning coupe and roadster. As expected, the interior and exterior both underwent design changes for customers who want those exclusive looks and touches.

The front and rear got more pronounced air diffusers and stabilizers and the ride height was reduced by 10 mm. The main piece of interest however, is the newly developed inline 5-cylinder turbocharged engine that has a rated output of 340 hp. The TT RS Roadster can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just 4.7 seconds.

The interior was beautifully finished, with fine leather sport seats and a perforated steering wheel. The RS badges are present on the seats and on the steering wheel.

Specific to the RS, the driver’s information system was equipped with turbo boost pressure, 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 an S-tronic twin-clutch gearbox and the power was transmitted to the all four wheels. The top speed of the RS was 155 mph.

Safety wise, the Audi TT RS was equipped with adaptive front and side airbags, pre-tensioning seat-belts and whiplash-reducing headrests.
