Audi TT RS: Sporty Powerhouse with Five Cylinders

Audi is once again producing a five-cylinder powerhouse: the Audi TT RS will be unveiled to the world at the Geneva Auto Show. Its turbocharged 2.5-liter engine produces well above 300 bhp. It also delivers explosive acceleration, driving delight, and unrivalled sound.
A legend is reborn. After all, powerful five-cylinder gasoline engines have a long legacy at Audi. And the turbocharged direct-fuel-injection engine in the TT RS is the new torchbearer of this dynamic tradition. It enables the TT RS to perform extraordinary feats. For example, it needs nowhere near five seconds to reach 100 km/h (62.14 mph); overtaking is child’s play; and 250 km/h (155.34 mph) is the limited top speed only on paper.
The quattro permanent all-wheel drive system, a sophisticated chassis, and stupendous brakes keep a tight rein on the power. All in all, the compact TT RS – with its lightweight and largely aluminum body constructed as per the Audi Space Frame principle – is a driving machine to be reckoned with.

- Not approved for U.S. launch
- This top model will debut at the Geneva Auto Show
- Direct gasoline injection and a turbocharger deliver far more than 300 bhp
- Top-notch chassis, big brakes, and quattro drivetrain

Re: Audi TT RS: Sporty Powerhouse with Five Cylinders
Unfortunately there's a lot of "if" involved. First, will Audi change their mind and launch it into North America? If so, will they include Canada? Of the few that would make it here, would my dealer be able to get one?
But if all of the "if" happens, I'm ready for it.
In the meantime, I am MORE THAN HAPPY with the TTS!

Just kidding, but I gotta say my wifes Jetta even sounds cool when you stand on it.

Doesn't seem like they can make up their minds about the power plant. Last I heard the TT RS was going to get Audi's new supercharged V6.
