Audi TT RS 40 years of quattro - Limited special model!

Audi is celebrating 40 years of quattro and is presenting the top model of the TT series in a special edition. The Audi TT RS 40 years of quattro celebrates the success story of the quattro drive in an impressive way. "Quattro has been one of the strongest technology pillars of the brand with the four rings for 40 years“, Says Julius Seebach, Managing Director of Audi Sport GmbH. "Our RS models have always brought their power to the road via four wheels as standard. With the special edition of the TT RS, limited to 40 copies, we want to give our fans in Germany a very special anniversary gift."

TT RS 40 years of quattro also with 2.5 TFSI

The TT RS 40 years of quattro relies on the power of the 2.5 TFSI engine from Audi Sport. The five-cylinder, which has won the “International Engine of the Year Award” nine times in a row, has an output of 294 kW (400 hp) and a maximum torque of 480 Nm. The quattro permanent all-wheel drive distributes the power freely between the front and rear axles via a multi-disc clutch. The wheel-selective torque control makes handling even more agile and safer. During sporty cornering, it gently brakes the wheels on the inside of the bend and thus increases the drive torque on the wheels on the outside of the bend. The driver can use the Audi drive select dynamic handling system to influence the quattro drive and other components such as the steering, seven-speed S tronic, exhaust flaps and engine characteristics.

3,7 seconds from standstill to 100 km / h

The top speed of the TT RS 40 years quattro has been increased to 280 km / h as standard. The compact sports car sprints from a standing start to 3,7 km / h in just 100 seconds. The accompanying music is determined by the typical five-cylinder firing order: 1-2-4-5-3. Directly adjacent and far apart cylinders fire alternately. The Audi TT RS 40 years quattro, painted in alpine white, confidently displays its motorsport heritage. The wrapping on the bonnet, shoulders, roof and rear is reminiscent of the color scheme of the specially modified Audi Sport quattro S1, with which Walter Röhrl won the legendary hill climb on Pikes Peak in the USA in 1987.

Front hood with central air outlet

The front hood with a central air outlet in glossy carbon is another visual highlight and at the same time supports the ventilation of the engine compartment - the heat generated there can escape even faster through the opening. The aerokit developed in the wind tunnel increases driving performance and handling in fast corners and has a significant effect on the aerodynamics of the compact sports car. On the front apron it consists of side flics in glossy black and a front splitter. The side skirts lead over to the striking rear with a fixed wing, spoiler side panels and diffuser. The aero measures result in a perfectly balanced overall package that at top speed only has around nine kilograms of lift on the front axle and around five kilograms of downforce on the rear axle. The relationship between drag and lift is optimally balanced. This interaction was explicitly taken into account during development in the wind tunnel.

Large quattro letters on the doors make it unmistakably clear what the special model stands for. The partially frosted rear triangular windows also bear the lettering "40 years of quattro". The side skirts are painted black, their inserts and the housings for the exterior mirrors, the blade and the Audi rings are finished in glossy black. Behind the white painted 20-inch alloy wheels work on the front axle, internally ventilated, perforated steel discs with red painted brake calipers.

with carbon strut cross on request

The interior of the new TT RS 40 years quattro with the cockpit that is completely geared towards the driver has seen numerous upgrades. The sporty character of the 2 + 2-seater comes out even more clearly. On request, the customer can have the rear seat exchanged for a cross-brace made of carbon - this results in a weight reduction of around 16 kilograms and benefits in terms of torsional rigidity. This brings the special model even closer to motorsport - driving noises can be experienced more intensely. Alcantara in black is used on the door panels and on the RS sport leather steering wheel with the 12 o'clock marking in white. Black leather with white contrasting stitching adorns the center armrest, door armrests and center console. Herita stripes on the alpine white inlay create the connection to the exterior wrapping.

RS sport seats with black & white leather

RS embroidery can be found on the floor mats in black with white piping and contrasting seams. The RS sport seats in black fine Nappa leather with a seat center panel in black Alcantara and honeycomb quilting in white present an exclusive "40 years of quattro" embroidery at shoulder height. A consecutively numbered badge on the selector lever of the S tronic makes each of the 40 copies unique. The sale of the Audi TT RS 40 years quattro starts in Germany in October 2020. The price is 114.040 euros or 111.165,04 euros with a reduced VAT rate. If we get more information, there is of course an update for this report.
