(from Audi press release)

The (2011) Audi TTS

The Audi TTS, both in Coupe and Roadster body styles, combine enthralling
sportiness with cultivated comfort. Its two-liter TFSI with the large turbocharger
and many additional modifications pumps out 200 kW (272 hp) and 350 Nm
(258.15 lb-ft) of torque, the latter from 2,500 to 5,000 rpm. It accelerates the
TTS Coupe with the optional S tronic from zero to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 5.2
seconds, up to a governed top speed of 250 km/h (155.34 mph). With the
S tronic, the Coupé consumes an average of only 7.7 liters of fuel per 100 km
(30.55 US mpg).

The TTS comes standard with the Audi magnetic ride adaptive shock absorber
technology, the Sport button and a high-performance brake system. Visual cues
to its identity are provided by the 18-inch wheels with size 245/40 tires and a new
grille combined with chrome air inlets. A new color combination – spectral
silver/black – is available for the interior.

The dynamic spearhead of the TT model series is the TT RS, which is likewise
available as a Coupe or a Roadster. Its turbocharged, inline 5-cylinder engine
draws 250 kW (340 hp) of power from 2.5 liters of displacement. 450 Nm
(331.90 lb-ft) of torque are available between 1,600 and 5,300 rpm. It
nevertheless averages just 9.2 liters of fuel per 100 km (25.57 US mpg).

The TT RS Coupe rockets from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62.14 mph) in 4.6 seconds;
quattro GmbH will raise the top speed from 250 to 280 km/h (155.34 to
173.98 mph) upon request. A sound flap in the exhaust system further intensifies
the distinctive five-cylinder sound. A manual six-speed transmission with a
sportily narrow gearing currently delivers the power to the quattro permanent all-
wheel drive. Starting this fall, Audi will also offer the option of the TT RS with a
newly developed version of the S tronic that can handle the tremendous torque of
the powerful five-cylinder engine. The compact layout of the seven-speed, dual-
clutch transmission makes it suitable for transverse mounting in combination with
the quattro all-wheel drive system.

The TT RS Coupe with the S tronic launches itself from zero to 100 km/h
(62.14 mph) in 4.4 seconds. The TT RS Roadster requires 0.1 seconds more for
this discipline – a bat of an eye less than with the manual transmission.
Distinctive design details, 18-inch wheels and an extremely powerful brake
system are standard with the TT RS.
