The front-wheel drive manual version is capable of a mph time in 5. Go for this engine with an S Tronic gearbox and the mph time is 5. You can also get Quattro all-wheel drive with the S Tronic gearbox, boosting traction and all-weather ability while bringing the mph sprint time down to 5. In this combination, the TT feels very rapid, feeling very confidence-inspiring when driven quickly. The S Tronic gearbox is quick to move up and down the gears, the engine feels eager in any driving mode, and never like it feels overwhelmingly powerful for the TT's small size.
Powering the TTS is a 2. You can only get this car with Quattro all-wheel drive to help put down all of that power. Top speed is electronically limited to mph. On the move, the TT S is quite surprising in the way it responds. When pottering around town in Comfort mode it feels like a regular petrol TT. It's still responsive and quick to pick up when you move off, but it can be mildly relaxed and not feel too eager. However, flip the Drive Select switch to Dynamic and everything sharpens up.
The throttle response becomes very sensitive and the TT S feels incredibly keen to get going. It's almost instantaneous when you apply just a little pressure to the accelerator pedal, and if you do it with even more force, power is put down immediately as you surge forwards. More impressive is what's gone on underhood, where purple silicone plumbing makes it known that this narrow-angle V-6 is turbocharged via a pair of Garrett HGP R25 turbos that feed a max boost of 19 psi.
A pair of air-to-air intercoolers is employed, along with ceramic-coated exhaust components. Moreover, the case containing the clutch discs has been strengthened to prevent warping.
The DSG eliminates jarring shifts, helping drivetrain longevity; launch control means acceleration runs are accompanied by just a hint of wheelspin. The KW coil-over suspension feels firm, what you'd expect of a car with such abilities. There's not a lot of choosing when spec'ing out a TT RS: It comes only as a coupe and with only a handful of options.
The TT RS's hp turbocharged 2. Passing power is astonishing: The seven-speed is more than willing to downshift as soon as you demand extra power, and the TT RS surges forward with such immediacy and force that you may think you've been sucked into a wormhole. Careful modulation of the throttle pedal transforms this athlete into a comfortable cruiser.
When equipped with its standard adaptive dampers, the TT RS feels stable and planted on the road—even when that road turns wickedly twisty—so even relatively inexperienced drivers can feel confident tossing it through corners at supralegal speeds.
The version we tested felt rock solid all the way up to its limit, but that limit is significantly lower than those of the Corvette and Cayman. While an edgier suspension—sans adaptive dampers—is available, the setup makes it noticeably more difficult to feel when the TT RS is about to reach its cornering limits.
Unless you plan on spending lots of time on a racetrack, we suggest passing on the Dynamic Plus package. Don't let the uncompromising performance fool you; the TT RS's turbo five-cylinder is quite efficient. A Quattro edition , for instance, tells us that the car has the coveted Audi all-wheel-drive system.
Audi produces sedans and coupes with enough performance to make you feel as though you are driving a sports car, and the Audi TT seems to get pushed to the back burner.
