Even more powerful, fast and dynamic than any of it's predecessors comes the Audi TT RS Plus in the beginning of 2012. This compact sports car comes in both coupe and roadster versions and stands out with outstanding performance. The car will have a hard five-cylinder turbo engine with 265 kW and 360 horsepower, enough for a maximum speed of 280 km / h.
The 2.5-liter TFSI engine in the Audi TT RS Plus is very high performance compared with the engine on which it is based on. The newly developed turbo engine with direct fuel injection provides 15 more kW and 20 hp more power. The torque is 465 Nm, which is 15 Nm more than the previous model.
Customers can choose between the manual six-speed gearbox or a seven-speed S Tronik gearbox for lightning-fast gear changes. Dual-clutch transmission comes with a function Launch Control, which optimizes acceleration. The Quattro permanent all-wheel drive works with a multi-plate clutch.
The TT RS Plus combines dynamics and efficiency in a very impressive way. Amid the distinctive growl of the five-cylinder engine, the cabin with the transmission function S accelerates from a standstill to 100 km / h in just 4.1 seconds, while a manual transmission in 4.3 seconds. In the Roadster model, 0 to 100 km / h takes 4.2 seconds and with a manual transmission it takes about 4.4 seconds.
The top speed of this car is 280 km / h for all versions of the car. The S Coupe Tronik transmission uses 8.5 litres of fuel per 100 kilometers and the Roadster uses 8.6 litres per 100 km. Among numerous measures to improve efficiency, one of the greatest improvements is the light body weight achieved with an aluminium front and steel rear.
The Coupe model with manual transmission and Quattro drive weighs only 1,450 kilograms. This car has a power-to-weight ratio of 4.0 pounds per horsepower. The ratio of the roadster is 4.2 kg per horsepower. The high quality of the brake system is able to cope with the TT RS plus's powerful engine at any time.
The car features a fixed four-piston unit in conjunction with perforated (ventilated) brake discs that are mounted on the front axle. The Audi TT RS Plus is equipped with 19-inch alloy wheels that are painted black with contrasting red RIM flanges. The wheels are fitted with 255/35 R19 high-speed tires. Another option available are the magnetic shock absorbing adaptive controls.
The large, fixed rear wing increases down-force at the rear of the car at high speeds. The single frame radiator grille web is highly polished anthracite with an aluminium frame and a matte look. External housings and Straniyani mirrors are made of carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP). The sports exhaust system features two black oval tailpipes.
