Racing version of Audi TT RS now
available for ordering. The front-wheel drive TT RS powered by an engine
with an output of about 279 kW (380 HP) has been developed by quattro
GmbH in collaboration with Technical Development of AUDI AG for the SP4T
class of the VLN Endurance Championship and extensively tested for
about one year. After class victory at the 24-hour race on the
Nürburgring-Nordschleife in June, the testing phase culminated in an
impressive performance at the 6-hour race on the world’s toughest race
track at the end of August: the first pole position of a front-wheel
drive vehicle in the history of the VLN and overall victory ahead of
rivals with higher power ratings
As a production-derived unit the 2.5-liter five-cylinder turbo engine
is designed for extremely high mileage. Its power drives the front
wheels via a sequential six-speed racing transmission. Paddle shifters
allow customers to fully concentrate on the action on the race track.
Audi has developed a race car body for the TT RS that is designed for
maximum safety and high aerodynamic efficiency. But downforce is not
the only thing that helps to put the power on the road. A sophisticated
racing suspension with a wide range of adjustment options that are easy
to operate assures supreme road-holding and particularly good balance.
Audi Sport customer racing offers the ready-to-race TT RS to its
customers at the price of 180,000 euros
