2011 Audi TT RS S Tronic Coupe Review

Audi was released new 2011 Audi TT RS S Tronic which powered by the 2.5-liter five-cylinder TFSI engine which outputs 250 kW (340 hp) between 5,400 and 6,500 rpm and 450 Nm (331.90 lb-ft) of torque between 1,600 and 5,300 rpm. The Audi TT RS, TT model range-topping is high, can now be ordered with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox transmission. This helps drive the purists of the machine, developed by quattro GmbH, to make quite an impression with lightning-fast gear changes and a level of efficiency that is pioneering in its class. The TT RS Coupe consumes an average of 8.5 liters (27.67 US mpg) of fuel per 100 km and emits just 197 g/km (317.04 g/mile) of CO2.

Designed for high efficiency at every speed: The seventh gear is configured as a high-geared overdrive which reduces engine speed, thus cutting fuel consumption. The driver can choose between two fully automatic modes and the manual mode in which he changes gear using the shift paddles on the steering wheel or with the selector lever. In addition, a launch control function offers virtually perfect acceleration from a standing start, with maximum turbo power and minimum wheel spin. This enables the TT RS with S tronic to accelerate even faster than with a manual transmission. The Coupe sprints from zero to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in just 4.3 seconds. Top speed is governed electronically at 250 km/h (155.34 mph). This speed restriction can be removed as an option.

The Audi TT RS S Tronic price starts at 58,300 EUR for the coupe and at 61,150 EUR for the roadster. Both new versions will go on sale this month.
