The New Audi TT RS.


Hello guys.

This week, we have decided to review the car that was debuted earlier i.e in 2007 in Geneva Motor Show, but we got a chance to review this rather “special” car, the famous and the longest aviated car, that the famous German manufacturer Audi had promised to display to the public, the New Audi TT RS.

There is a new and intriguing thing about this car that it has got the same looks as the famous model of Audi, the R8.

An amateur finds it hard to tell the difference between the two at the first glance, but you can surely guess as TT RS gives you a compact look.

Anyways, let’s come to the car itself.

Audi has again decided to give this car the muscle of 340 bhp (250 kW) and 450 Nm of torque, all compacted in a straight-5 aluminum engine, designed completely from scratch and for sheer performance by Audi.

It has a 2.5 liter Direct Gasoline Injection fuel system that increases not only the fuel efficiency, but also the performance of the engine, and in general, the performance of the car.

The sporty straight -5 engine has a long and lasting relationship with Audi. These engines first started to appear in early ‘80s, delivering the then staggering power of 200 bhp. Another version of this engine was also made that delivered the power output of 306 bhp. For more than 25 years, the Turbocharger and the Quattro of Audi AG have worked hand in glove to achieve the heights of success in motorsport world.

A huge advantage that this new TT RS enjoys is that it has a great power to weight ratio. If you consider the coupe’ version, it weighs only 1450 kg, while the roadster version weighs 1510 kg, giving the ultimate power to weight ratio to the vehicle. In this Audi, 1 horsepower propels only 4.3 kg of the total mass of the car- thanks to the only-Audi concept of giving cars the Audi signature of all-aluminum spaceframe, and light body construction.

The acceleration of this little giant is jaw dropping. It does 0-100km/h in just 4.6 seconds, if you consider the coupe’ version. The roadster owing to its heavy weight does it in mere 4.7 seconds.

The top speed in TT RS has been limited to 155mph, by German road standards, and we figured no way to turn that speed limiter off.( we even called the Pakistani computer scientist, but even they couldn’t do that)

ENGINE

It is a Turbocharged engine that delivers enormous amount of power even at low rpms.

The crankcase is made up of graphite iron, that has a very light weight along with its high strength.

The engine has a compression ratio of 10.0:1, making it quite good power converter i.e the conversion of power that resides inside the fuel, to the power that I required to run the car.

The turbocharger works great and creates the massive pressure of 1.2 bars and works with the intercooler just amazingly.

When the engine is revved up, the valves in the exhaust open and create a very powerful engine noise that shows that this car has racing genes in it!


DRIVETRIAN

The drivetrain is simply amazing as described earlier. This is standard Audi drvietrain that Audi has been using in all of its top of the line vehicles like S4, S5, R8 etc, but in a small package.

This whole system made by Audi performs so well that it just make you forget that you are driving a car...!

Gearshift is very smooth. The gear change is almost instant. When you change the gear, basically a hydrolic fluid i pumped into the selecting forks, making the shift easier.

INTERIOR & EXTERIOR



Interior and exterior are just too perfect for this new Audi.

When you sit inside this car, for a time being, you think that you are standing in heavens. This interior design has been selected as the most beautiful design that is available in the market today.



Exterior is just...simply beautiful!!!!

The headlights are also beautiful and are basically halogen bulbs that make you see over a long distance.

BOOT

The boot in Audi TT RS is not "that" big, but even then, it is enough for you to put you golf set and a complete kit of cricket.

CONCLUSION

It is no doubt, a totally practical car that has racing genes in it and is a must buy for the people who can spend extra $40000 on luxury!
