New car sales price Audi TTRS Plus

This compact sports coupe stands out for its awesome performance from a five-cylinder turbo with 265kW/465Nm. The 2.5-litre TFSI engine in the Audi TT RS plus has been tweaked electronically for 15kW more power and 15Nm more torque.

The seven-speed S tronic delivers lightning-fast gearshifts. This dual-clutch transmission comes with a launch control function which optimises acceleration from a standing start. The quattro permanent all-wheel drive system, which operates with a multi-plate clutch, transfers engine power to the road.

Against the backdrop of the five-cylinder engine's characteristic growl, the TT RS plus sprints from a standstill to 100 km/h in a blistering 4.1 seconds. Fuel consumption is rated at 8.5 litres/100km. The TT RS plus weighs just 1475 kilograms, giving a power-to-weight ratio of 5.6 kilograms per kW.

The high-performance brake system is able to cope with the engine's power at all times. Four-piston fixed callipers in conjunction with perforated brake discs are installed on the front axle. The Audi TT RS plus is fitted with 19-inch cast wheels of five-arm “Rotor” design which are painted black with contrasting red rim flanges. The wheels are fitted with 255/35 tyres.

The adaptive damping system known as Audi magnetic ride is fitted as standard equipment. A large, fixed rear wing increases downforce at the back of the car. The singleframe radiator grille also sets the Audi TT RS plus apart visually. Its diamond-pattern mesh is in highly polished anthracite and is trimmed with a matt aluminium-look frame.

The housings of the exterior mirrors are made of carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP), while the dual-branch sport exhaust system has black oval tailpipe trims. A sound flap further intensifies the sound of the engine.
