Audi unveils the new TT RS Coupe and Roadster

Audi has unveiled the second generation TT RS, in both Coupe and Roadster forms. 

The new TT RS is the first recipient of Audi's new turbocharged 2.5-litre five-cylinder engine, which has an aluminium block instead of the current steel block. The new motor packs 395bhp and 480Nm of torque. It is mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox with TT RS specific rations, and comes with launch control software and steering wheel-mounted shift paddles. 

Styling tweaks include new front and rear bumpers, wider door sills, deeper air intakes at the front, oval exhaust pipes and a large fixed rear spoiler. The TT RS also rides on a lowered chassis, 10mm lower than the standard TT. Additional changes include stiffer springs and dampers, as well as 19.0-inch alloy wheels as standard.
