The 2020 TT RS Coupe and Roadster follow in the
footsteps of the regular models with a few design updates for the new model
year. The revised RS features revised styling at the front and rear, joined
by larger lateral air inlets and a new fixed rear wing with side winglets.
The facelifted TT RS now has LED headlights as
standard, and matrix units with matrix OLED reversing lights that put on a
small show whenever the ignition is being switched on, as an option.
Clients will have eight colors to choose from,
including the model-specific Kyalami Green and the new Pulse Orange and Turbo
Blue. Additionally, they can spec the car with the Matte Aluminum or Gloss
Black styling packages that highlight the front blade and rear wing. The latter
option adds black Audi rings and TT RS logos, while the Roadster gets a black
fabric roof.
New color touches adorn the cabin as part of the new
RS Design Package, which adds red or blue trim throughout the interior, while
the Extended RS Design Package offers contrasting design elements on the seats
and central console.
The MMI Navigation Plus is optional and includes
voice control, free text search and a Wi-Fi Hotspot. Connecting a smartphone to
the infotainment system requires using the USB port. and the 680-watt Bang
& Olufsen premium sound system provides a special experience to
audiophiles.
No revisions have been made to the engine. Tthe
2.5-liter five-pot still has an output of 400 PS and 480 Nm of torque. The five-cylinder is connected to a seven-speed
dual-clutch transmission and Quattro all-wheel drive and allows the TT RS Coupe
to hit 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds. Top speed is limited to 250 km/h, but can be lifted to 280 km/h.
Audi will open the order books for the facelifted TT
RS models in Europe on February 7. Pricing for the Coupe starts at € 67,700 in Germany and the Roadster can be had from € 70,500. The
first units will arrive at dealers this spring, and we might see it live at the
Geneva Motor Show next month.
