Audi TT-RS teaser supposedly surfaces ahead of Geneva

The pre-show prognostication surrounding Audi seems to be coming true. First came yesterday's preview of the A4 allroad quattro and today, a teaser hit the Web showing a blacked-out and be-winged rear end bearing the TT-RS logo.
Although
If the Audi TT-RS does debut in Geneva, expect a turbocharged, 2.5-liter five-cylinder putting out around 350 hp and 330 lb-ft of torque to all four wheels through a six-speed manual or S tronic gearbox. New front and rear fascias will join the fixed rear wing, along with 18-inch aluminum wheels, a duo of oval exhaust tips, magnetic dampers and an interior swathed in alcantara and leather.

So is this engine the same I5 from VW? Or a newer design? Regardless, that is a lot of boost.

That's not Audi's usual font and doesn't follow their usual style guidelines. Something ain't quite right.

wow, I wonder how strong those stock 2.5L five-cylinder are straight out of the box, if Audi is pumping out 350 hp out of them, how much modification is done to the engine for the turbo?
