Awesome Audi TT RS Arrives Down Under
•Audi’s first-ever RS model TT is launched in Australia
•Direct fuel injection and turbocharging produces efficiency and high performance
•Exceptional chassis dynamics, large brakes and quattro drivetrain
Audi’s first-ever RS model for the TT range has been launched in Australia.
Offering 250kW of grin-inducing power, and 450Nm of neck-snapping torque, the all new TT RS is propelled by a completely new
five-cylinder powerhouse, which has its roots in Audi’s highly-successful motorsport heritage.
Pricing for this sporty top-end model has been confirmed at $133,700* for the Coupe model with a 6-speed manual transmission.
The company expects to sell around 80 units per year in Australia, according to managing director, Joerg Hofmann.
“Our RS models, while niche, are always very popular for buyers wanting the ultimate in performance. The TT RS offers superb,
pure sportscar styling with exceptional grunt. It is without doubt – a very fun car to drive,” Mr Hofmann said.
“However, the appeal of the TT RS doesn’t end there. The new generation TT is larger, longer and lighter than its predecessor,
and even with its superb performance, the TT RS still manages to offer efficient driving and low CO2. These traits will certainly
appeal to Australian buyers.”
Making its global debut at the Geneva Motor Show early this year, the new TT RS is expected to be a very popular addition to
the range in Australia, and will further enhance the success of the Audi TTS, launched in August 2008.
Powered by a turbocharged direct injection 2.5 litre, 5-cylinder engine that produces more than 250 kW or 300 bhp, the new Audi
TT RS also delivers explosive acceleration, with the driving dynamics and an unrivalled engine sound to match. Its consistently
sport-tuned suspension and low ride height, coupled with Audi Magnetic Ride offers very dynamic, very stable handling
characteristic.
Powerful five-cylinder engines have a long history at Audi and the new TT RS continues the tradition. It can sprint from zero to
100 km/h in less than five seconds and has an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h.
Audi’s quattro permanent all-wheel drive system, as with all RS models, is a standard feature and together with the sophisticated
chassis, and awesome brakes will make the TT RS a driving machine to be reckoned with.
It will also be one of the lightest, and least thirsty as it features a largely aluminium body constructed in line with the Audi Space
Frame ASF principle. This approach to reversing the upward weight spiral is a key Audi trait.
This ultimate sportscar offers the pure thoroughbred design of the TT, which has been enhanced with special RS-design
elements including RS diamond-look radiator grille, large side air inlets and exterior mirrors in brushed aluminium. The addition
of a fixed rear wing spoiler, a striking diffuser insert and oval tailpipes shout top performance.
Australian-specification vehicles will carry a very high level of equipment, including:
•19-inch alloy wheels in 5-arm rotor design
•DVD-based navigation with glovebox-mounted CD changer
•TT RS bucket seats in Fine Nappa leather
•TT RS sports suspension with Audi magnetic ride
•Short-shift, manual gearbox for lightning fast changes
•Hill start assist feature
* Note on pricing:
$133,700 is the manufacturer list price and includes GST and LCT where applicable, dealer delivery and government statutory
charges are not included.

ㅋㅋ 감사합니다.^^ 더 노력할께요^^*~
앗 ! 하나의 단점은 r8 에서도 발견했듯이 좌석조정이 수동이라는점... 아쉽다....
그건 단점이자 장점이지요~~~ㅋ
RS.. 우.. 시트 죽이네요.. 풀버킷은.. 수동인가봐요. ^^
그죠...저도 시트가 참 마음에 드네요, 파란색 차량 색상도 너무 마음에 들구요^^
이번에는 빨강색으로 달려주세요. ^^;
전 다음차도 파란색으로 하려구요^^ TT는 제게 파란색이 제일 예뻐요 ㅎㅎ
꺄~악.....오빠....이거 올리시면 어떻해요...ㅠㅠ 겨우 지름신으로부터 벗어났는데.....수동을 어서 연마해야 할 듯 싶네요^^
5초 미만으로 100m를 완주하는군요, 최고속은 얼마나 나올지 또 궁금하네요^^ 한국엔 언제쯤 들어 올까요...? engine room이 꽉 찬 모습이 정말 든든하네요@@
누나가 한번 시도해 보심이^^*~ ㅋㅋㅋ
들어와야지....내년에 운전을 좀 많이 배우려구, 누난 아직 수동을 운전할 줄 몰라서 ㅋㅋ 쓰고 보니, 누난, 운전 면허도 없는 상태에서 자동차부터 먼저 샀다는, 계약 하면서 그 황당해 하던 dealer표정이 아직도 생생해^^ 독일에서 차 오는 시간, 2주 걸려서 운전면허 땃잖니 ㅋㅋ
오~~ 로이님 대단하시네요~ 계약하고 2주 걸려 면허 따시고~~^^
야차님...그래서...2주 면허 실력으로 차 받아서 부모님 모시고 잘 타고 집으로 오는데, 아버지가 오, 잘 하는구나...지하 주차장도 들어가보자...흠...바로 운전석 옆 크게 박고 그날 차 수리 맡기고 울었답니다 ㅠㅠ ㅎㅎ 그 지하 주차장이 싫어서 전 이사를 mk 2 사고 나서 했구요^^ 제 mk 1은 주인 잘못 만나서 주차장에 들어갈때마다 고생했지요 ㅎㅎ 좋은 하루 보내시구요~^^
