The Audi TT-RS is inching closer and closer to production form, and our spy photographers have once again spotted the cabriolet version while out testing. As our earlier illustration shows, the TT-RS will build on the standard TT, but will add plenty of go-fast goodies.
Although original reports indicated the TT-RS would use a turbocharged 3.2L V6 with about 350 horsepower, our sources now have the TT-RS’ powerplant pegged as a 2.5L twin-turbocharged five-cylinder generating 350 horsepower horsepower — making the TT-RS a true competitor for the Porsche Boxster. Power will be sent to all-four wheels via a six-speed manual or Audi’s seven-speed DSG gearbox.
However, Audi is said to be preparing to switch the TT’s current range-topping engine — a 3.2L V6 — for a 280 horsepower version of Volkswagen’s 3.6L V6.
Although the exterior of the RS appears similar to the S model, there are a few subtle changes. The TT-RS forgoes the S’ fog lights in order to accommodate larger air intakes, allowing for better airflow to the engine. In addition, the RS also sports bigger wheels and brakes. Out back are a set of oval exhaust outlets, a signature design cue for Audi’s performance range of vehicles.
Sales of the Audi TT-RS are expected to begin sometime in 2009.

I’m sure that this car will be priced at twice what it should be. I’m sure there will be no shortage of idiots lining up to buy one.
A decent car, but not one that deserves the amount of posts & updates it’s getting here on LLN…must be a slow news day.
OOOOH I BETTER TYPE IN CAPZ BECUZ I LOVEZ DIS CAR HEHEHEHEHE

Good to see Audi putting the turbo-charged inline 5 back in to use!
Almost as interesting as the daily Camaro story. By the way, it’s almost 2pm in California. What about the Camaro? Did GM kill it, because it’s been almost 24 hours since I last read about it? I’m worried…………
I think this car looks sic, but convertibles are teh ghey!

This is getting good. I’m getting popcorn. Not sure who to root for yet, but my money is on Danny. OK guys, back to it.
Its actually Mr Child****er, one word, get it right, ****
Looks good (appearance), not forward to even think in owning an Audi, though.

A brief lesson in supply and demand, a defining principle of capitalism much championed by your once-great nation: If there will be no shortage of customers lining up to buy one, then the price is not in fact twice what it should be, but is actually probably a bit low.
Yeah I bet Lexus and Infinitis aren’t overpriced LOL… It’s just sad to see comments dishing good cars when you haven’t even driven an Audi.
