Audi TT RS 2025: Price, consumption, picture, technical data.
Audi has just unveiled its upgraded version of the Audi TT RS. The model was unveiled at this year’s Beijing Auto Show and will be ready for production and on sale in the home market this year. If the RS version also follows the same formula as the base TT model was introduced, the TT RS vehicle will be available in the US market within a year of the initial release.
Audi TT RS
The first Audi TT RS version was built in 2009 and it took 11 years after the initial release of the base TT version to introduce an improved RS brand. The model was available in both a coupe version and a roadster model and quickly became more popular than the TTS model in terms of sales.
The original TT RS model was first presented on the American market in 2012 and came here after the first Plus model was released. The new version already offers a lot of promise. Since the first pictures of the car were published, people’s expectations increased even more. In this review, we will tell you what novelties we can expect from this car and what has changed in it.
When is the release date of the Audi TT RS?
The latest model of the Audi TT RS will be offered for the first time in the domestic market this year. The model will make its debut in Europe, but it will take some time to arrive in America. The base TT version took almost a year to cross the pond, so the same thing may happen here. Expect the Audi TT RS release date for the American audience to be in early .
What is the starting price?
The US price for the Audi TT RS has not been officially announced. The car will be available for a base MSRP of €66,400 in the European market, but we estimate that the US version will cost around €68,000 (Euros) when the model crosses the ocean.
Exterior design and upgrades
The new Audi TT RS is mainly based on the styling of the base third generation TT model. It has the front grille and redesigned headlights and bumper seen in the base version, but makes it a bit aggressive with some new parts. One of them is the honeycomb mesh that every high-performance model from Audi has. The single-frame grille is larger and there are also larger air intakes on the bumper with silver blade-like elements on the lower apron.
The model also uses beefier fenders and side skirts, redesigned wheels and carbon fiber mirror caps. The rear of the car also features a redesigned bumper, a fixed rear wing and two large, oval exhaust tailpipes. In addition, this model will be the first of its kind to use Matrix OLED technology for production taillights.
Interior changes and styling
The interior of the new Audi TT RS will keep the same interior design as the last generation model. The basic look of the TT model will be complemented by some sporty elements that are unique to the RS brand. Some of the highlights include red accents on the air conditioning vents, red stitching on the center console, gear lever and door panels, and a flat-bottomed steering wheel. The wheel is also wrapped in leather and has two control buttons.
All RS models come with a 12.3-inch screen in the instrument cluster. It helps display information and can be used in three views. The additional carbon fiber and aluminum trim elements on the center console further add to the sportiness of the model, and you can also see these on the door panels, sports pedals and the padded seats.
Drivetrain Choice
There were many rumors saying that the future Audi TT RS will drop with a 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine, but those rumors were put to rest when they announced that the same engine will make a comeback. But the previous 2.5-liter engine was a bit heavier, so the newly updated one will be 22 pounds lighter and increase power by 17 percent. So we can expect a total output of around 400 horsepower, which is an increase of 60 horsepower from last year. The car will also include a seven-speed dual-clutch S-Tronic transmission, but no optional manual choice.
0-62 mph per hour capability and top speed
The new Audi TT RS will be faster than the last one. It will be able to do 0-62 mph in 3.7 seconds and the top speed is limited to 155 mph, but the limiter can be removed to allow the car to reach a maximum top speed of 174 mph.
Fuel consumption rates
As for the Audi TT RS fuel economy specs, they are not getting any better. The future Audi TT RS will stick to the same fuel economy rates, which come in at 18 MPG City Drive and 25 MPG Highway. The drivability may seem better for this car, but it will not improve in any way.
Dimensions
The Audi TT RS version does not grow in size compared to the base model. The car will keep the same numbers when it comes to its size. It will still be 164.4 inches long and have a wheelbase of 98.6 inches. The height will be 52.8 inches and the width will be 72.0 inches. Also, the curb weight will be around 3250 pounds.
What are the security features?
Safety features for the Audi TT RS are also carried over from its base model. This means dual-stage driver and front passenger airbags, front thorax side airbags, knee airbags and side head curtain airbags. Standard safety equipment also includes front passenger sensing for airbags, a central locking system with safety release function when airbags are deployed, an anti-lock braking system with electronic brake force distribution, a seat belt reminder, electronic stability control, lower anchors and tethers for children in rear seats and a tire pressure monitoring system.
Competing cars
With the prospect of the Audi TT RS model coming in , the completion will stiffen up a bit. There are other great models and people will decide which is the best choice for them. Models to consider in this segment include the Porsche 718 Cayman and Nissan 370Z Nismo.
