I can’t wait. The Audi TT RS is coming to America. A direct competitor to the Mercedes SLK55 AMG, this is going to be one hot car. The Current Audi TTS is a tight controlled car as is, but the new TT RS with its 5-cylinder engine putting out 360 hp compared to the TTS’s 265 hp will be amazing. A 100 horsepower jump in a small car such as this means a huge increase in speed and overall acceleration.
The car will do 0-62 in 4.6 seconds, beating the AMG’s 4.9 to 60. The Audi’s engine has also won the International Engine of the Year honors this summer in judging for its category by 71 automotive journalists.
I have driven an Audi TT s-line many times, and I love the car. The new TT RS will certainly be a performer in many categories. One surprising category it has already exceled in is popularity in the US even though it is not here yet.
Audi had put the car in the showrooms in Europe but was not sure it should bring the car to the US. They decided to create a Facebook group to see if we would bite. Facebook more than bit, it latched on. After more than 11,500 people joined the group (myself one of them), Audi decided to bring the rocket to the US. The car is scheduled to be released in the third quarter of 2011.
