The Audi TT is slated to its first true performance model in the form of the TT RS, but the German automaker has made sure to keep a lid on the car’s details. However, thanks to a leaked document intended for Audi dealers, we now know what to expect from the hotter TT RS.
As previously speculated, the Audi TT RS will be motivated by a 2.5L five-cylinder TSFI powerplant. Despite its modest displacement, the five-cylinder mill will crank out 340 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque, according to World Car Fans. Power will be routed through a six-speed transmission, allowing the TT RS to hit 60 mph in a scant 4.5 seconds.
Although the TT RS will be the highest-performing TT ever, expect the German two-door — which will be available as a coupe and roadster — to return 24 mpg.
The TT RS’ exterior will feature new air inlets, 18 inch wheels and Audi ’s signature RS oval exhaust outlets. Inside, look for plenty of leather and Alcantara, as well as RS badging.
No pricing information has yet been revealed, but the TT RS should hit the market in the third quarter of 2009.
