Audi TT RS - So there's a new 5 cylinder, 4-valver on the block...

Transverse 5 cyl, 2480cc, turbo charged
335 bhp & 332 lb/ft
4WD
10:1 compression

Didn't see this one coming.. & the mind boggles at what that could be dropped into...



And there's a Cabrio:

 

cab bumper looks far more aggressive very R8-ish

 

Good point! Let me get the right first pic!

 

Engine:

 

Bet that sounds sweet.

I do like the idea of a TT RS, but tbh I actually prefer the design of the earlier car.
A really pure concept, with no 'aggression' at the front end.
The minute it was launched, I knew Audi had created a design classic that will still look superb in 20 or 30 years.
The new one is so much more capable, though.

 

I think the yanks have this model already, were getting it this summer.

 

Question is: who's putting it in a Mk2?

 

if i could find one chris i would fit one!

 

Poor mans mk2 TiT RS!

lol, have to see how many of them crash, with that power it wont be long

 

nothing poor about that

 

Bill's already got 600bhp out of a 1.9. This is nearly twice the capacity.

 

Now that is a good looking engine, love the big chunky plenum it looks similar to some of the aftermarket 1.8T designs

 

hell yeah!

 

I wonder if this is the same as the US 5 cylinder inline block the MK5 gets? Vortex is full of threads of people swapping their 1.8T for this setup... they come in 150 and 170 NA bhp forms!!

 

i think it is, i dont think they ever stopped selling the I5 in the US

 

From 2.5 litres?
If so, that would be pathetic.
Twenty-year old Mercedes & BMW 2.5-litre 4-pots kick out 200bhp minimum.

 

us spec, low octane maps possibly, can't imagine there are any cam swaps available yet
