2010 Audi TT RS Officially Unleashed with Well Over 300bhp WorldCarFans
Regardless of almost endless spy pictures and other evidence, Audi stood firm on its denials of the existence of the TT RS. Who can blame them; no automaker ever admits that spy photographers are right. Although now, Audi has said a mouthful regarding the TT RS range. Most of it is already known but the most sought after details are kept mum.
The TT RS will use a five-cylinder 2.5-litre turbo engine for its quattro drivetrain. But here is where it gets a little sketchy. Audi says the car produces "well above 300bhp (224kW)" which is not much to say actually. Another important figure for the performance sector is the 100 km/h (62.14 mph) sprint time. Again details are at best in the grey zone with Audi only committing to saying it needs nowhere near 5 seconds to clock that sprint time.
Other particulars are more forthcoming, like the fact that the TT RS has a largely aluminium body, big brakes, a highly sophisticated chassis and direct petrol injection. Plus it can reach an electronically limited top speed of 250km/h (155mph). Complete facts will come to light at the 2009 Geneva International Motor Show which starts in just over a week.

BRAVO! You literally made me laugh out loud... That is funny as shit right there. It's like all those CAR magazines calling Miatas "hairdressers' cars".

Do want. I think it looks great! I would imagine it'd be quite expensive and I can think of plenty of cars in its price range that I'd rather have (M3 most likely) but it looks mean!
