The latest images confirm the car will be fitted with a fixed rear wing and carry the title of ‘TT-RS’

Last year we saw Audi take the wraps off several variants of its sporty TT, with the unveiling of the TT-S, 2.0L TDI diesel-powered TT, and finally, the entry-level 1.8L TFSI model. However, there’s one more TT variant in the works and it could potentially be the fastest production TT ever. The new car is the performance RS variant of the TT and these leaked official shots reveal a few vital clues about it.

The images confirm the car will be called the TT-RS and that it will come with a fixed rear wing as opposed to the adjustable spoiler found on more mundane TT models. The shots also show a new bumper design, revealing a look similar to that seen on last year’s striking V12 TDI R8 concept car.

Other details, such as the powertrain, remain highly speculative. The smart money is betting on an inline five-cylinder petrol engine displacing just 2.5L. According to a previously leaked memo, the compact engine will output a healthy 340hp (253kW) and 332lb-ft (450Nm) thanks to the addition of a twin-turbocharging system. This should see it accelerate from 0-100km/h in less than five seconds and easily reach an electronically controlled top speed of 250km/h.

Both a Coupe and Roadster will be launched and both cars will feature the same power output, quattro AWD and a six-speed transmission - though it's not yet clear if it will be a dual-clutch unit or a traditional manual. Other features listed in the memo include 18in aluminum wheels with a dual five-spoke design, twin-exit oval exhaust pipes, matte aluminum headlight housings, and a unique interior with Alcantara and leather trim.

Fans won’t have to wait too long now to see the TT-RS as it is scheduled to make its debut next month at the Geneva Motor Show. If, like us, you can’t wait then click here (http://www.motorauthority.com/spy-shots-2009-audi-tt-rs.html) for our previous spy shot stories.

Finally the TT lives up to it's name... Twin turbo ftw! And possibly a resurection of the ballsy corrado motivator

Probably going to be expensive!

Audi cost an arm and a leg while offering cars with lower power compared to rivals.


THEY DO LOOK GOOOOD tho.
