Welcome Back: 2010 Audi TT RS Coupe

Your rival video game has the Audi TTS, which is fun but not enough power to woo me. This game, Forza Motorsport 4, has the Audi TT RS, which has more power than the lame Audi TTS and a lot more fun to drive. Go ahead, you'll be the judge...

No tunnel's safe for this car!

The most powerful version of the Audi TT, the TT RS, comes with the 2,480 cc Inline-5 20v DOHC (CEPA) TFSi engine that generates about 335bhp of power and 332lb-ft of torque. Since the RS2 Avant, most Audi RS models are assembled at the quattro GmbH factory in Neckarsulm, Germany but for the TT RS, it's not made in Neckarsulm but instead produced at Gyor, Hungary, just like any other TT variants.

This car was mated with a 6-speed close-ratio manual transmission and in tradition, it's available only with quattro all wheel drive powertrain. By 2010, a year after the TT RS' 2009 debut, it was offered with a 7-speed DSG transmission for quick shifting.

In the USA, when it was launched in third-quarter of 2011 thanks to some 11,000-signature petition on the internet, the Audi TT RS does not come with launch control, 7-speed DSG, or Recaro seats.
