<br />
We still only have rumors about the third-generation <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/audi/tt/">Audi TT</a> said to be scheduled for launch in late 2014, but based on a report in <em>Car and Driver,</em> we know a tiny bit more about it. The base engine will be the 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder with direct injection, but horsepower is said to be 220 horsepower - that would make for a nine-hp jump over the current output. The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/audi/tts/">TTS</a> would get an even larger power boost, going from 265 currently to 300 hp. The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/audi/tt+rs/">TT RS</a> would stick with it's 2.5-liter five cylinder, with output increased from 360 to 380 hp. If Audi includes a nice dose of the go-light engineering involved in the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/04/25/audi-tt-ultra-quattro-concept-throws-lightness-at-the-problem/">TT Ultra Quattro</a>, these horsepower numbers might be even more impressive.<br />
<br />
As with the TT concept and first-generation production car, though, it sounds like the brand is concentrating on aesthetics. It's been widely reported that Audi wants to reclaim the juju <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2012/11/18/next-audi-tt-to-return-to-its-roots/">conjured by the original TT</a>, and while we still don't know <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2012/12/03/rendered-speculation-next-gen-audi-tt-looking-sharp/">what that means outside</a>, CD reports that the interior gets simplified, "futuristic-feeling" styling thanks to instruments served up on a TFT screen. Remember, the first Audi TT had a cockpit that <em>Car</em> magazine dubbed simply, "The Cabin."<br />
<br />
About a year after the coupe comes, the Audi TT Roadster will show up and should be joined by the next <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/audi/a5/">A5</a>. The news for the next version of the subtly beautiful coupe is the arrival of a plug-in hybrid with torque vectoring via an electric motor for the rear axle. Beyond that is wilder speculation of an <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/a9/">A9</a>, which might be called Q9, and which was the four-door-coupe flavor of the month two years ago when it was possibly going to share a platform with the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/lamborghini+estoque/">Lamborghini Estoque</a>. According to the CD story, the thinking now is around "a combination of fastback and crossover proportions," a two-fer we've yet to see any carmaker pull off without making us go, "Oh. I see."<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/05/10/more-next-gen-audi-tt-details-revealed/">More next-gen Audi TT details revealed</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Fri, 10 May 2013 11:00:00 EST.

<br />
<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/audi/">Audi</a> is celebrating the 2013 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/worthersee/">W&ouml;rthersee</a> Tour with a special concept version of the company's <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/audi/tt/">TT</a>. The Audi TT Ultra Quattro concept tips the scales at just 2,449 pounds thanks to some extensive engineering work. The company pulled nearly 95 lbs from the car's body structure and used carbon-fiber reinforced plastics for many of its detachable body components. As a result, the concept weighs in at a full 220 pounds lighter than its production counterpart. Throw in a wicked turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 310 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, and you get a machine with the power to weight ratio in the supercar realm. 0-60 comes up in 4.2 seconds and top speed is listed at 173 mph. <br />
<br />
Inside, the TT Ultra Quattro features plenty of carbon fiber trim, and designers also fitted the seats from the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/audi+r8+gt/">R8 GT</a> to save a little weight. The buckets use CFRP for the seat frames, saving nearly 50 pounds in the process. In a world where automakers seem blind to the negative effect of throwing more heft at a vehicle, we're in love with the Ultra Quattro concept. Check out the full press release <a href="/2013/04/25/audi-tt-ultra-quattro-concept-throws-lightness-at-the-problem/#continued">below</a> for more information.<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/04/25/audi-tt-ultra-quattro-concept-throws-lightness-at-the-problem/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Audi TT Ultra Quattro Concept throws lightness at the problem</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/04/25/audi-tt-ultra-quattro-concept-throws-lightness-at-the-problem/">Audi TT Ultra Quattro Concept throws lightness at the problem</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Thu, 25 Apr 2013 11:29:00 EST.

<br />
A family in Lowestoft, UK woke up to quite a surprise Sunday morning when they found a bright red <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/audi/tt/">Audi TT</a> parked in their living room. While the details of the crash are unknown, the video shows the TT lodged halfway into the side of a house after the car somehow drove through a hedge, launched in the air and drove over two parked cars.<br />
<br />
From the angle of the accident shown on the <em>BBC</em> video, it appears the roads may have been snowy or ice and there was a berm behind the hedges, which apparently launched the car into the air helping it drive over a parked <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/3+series/">BMW 3 Series Coupe</a> and an <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/audi/a4/">Audi A4 Avant</a>. Reports indicate that the driver was in his 20s, and he suffered serious head injuries and was taken to the hospital in critical condition; there were three people inside the house, but none of them were injured. The car belonged to the driver's father.<br />

	<a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/renault-alpine-here-2015"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2012/12/saac-pr-opt.jpg" style="margin-top: 4px; margin-bottom: 4px; width: 628px; height: 425px;" /></a><br />
	<br />
	We earlier <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2012/11/05/renault-teams-with-caterham-to-revive-historic-alpine-brand/">reported</a> that Renault's revival of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/alpine/">Alpine</a> name would take four years. But Stephen Norman, head of marketing for <a href="http://autoblog.com/tag/renault/">Renault</a>, says to expect the first new Alpine sometime before the end of 2015.<br />
	<br />
	Norman also tells <em><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/renault-alpine-here-2015">Autocar</a></em> that the Alpine jointly developed with <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/caterham/">Caterham</a> "won't be more hardcore than a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/mazda/mx-5+miata/">Mazda MX-5</a>." He went on to say we should expect a competitor for the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/porsche/boxster/">Porsche Boxster</a> and high-performance<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/audi/tt+rs/"> Audi TTS</a>. "You can't betray the DNA of Alpine," Norman says. "That's a third of what the car will be."<br />
	<br />
	But the executive also says its DNA is certainly French, "It must be light and look different, and have a touch of French Dash. It's not a car for dandies, though." Norman says the target buyer is either French or a Francophile.<br />
	<br />
	The French-styled, Miata-like, Boxter competitor is expected to have a price tag around &pound;50,000 and is predicted to have a 250-horsepower Renault engine.</p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2012/12/31/renault-will-have-new-alpine-ready-by-end-of-2015/">Renault will have new Alpine ready by end of 2015</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Mon, 31 Dec 2012 09:00:00 EST.

<br />
It was only a matter of time, folks. As soon as <a href="http://autoblog.com/audi">Audi</a> finalized its <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2012/04/18/audi-buys-ducati/">purchase</a> of the <a href="http://autoblog.com/tag/ducati">Ducati</a> brand, we knew to expect a slew of comparison tests pitting the German automaker's finest wares against the two-wheeled exotica rolling out of Italy's <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/03/18/report-ducati-name-nearly-as-recognizable-as-apple/">best-known motorcycle maker</a>.<br />
<br />
The scribes from Germany's <em>Auto Bild</em> have indeed taken up the challenge. But what machinery to choose? Naturally, the mind first turns to the <a href="http://autoblog.com/audi/r8">R8</a> supercar and its <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/lamborghini/">Lamborghini</a>-derived V10 engine, but, in reality, Audi officials have conceded to us that its 360-horsepower <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/audi/tt+rs/">TT RS</a> is actually quicker around most race tracks. So, the all-wheel-drive <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2012/02/10/audi-introduces-360-hp-tt-rs-plus/">TT RS Plus</a> it is.<br />
<br />
Holding the mantle for Ducati is none other than the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/1199%20panigale/">1199 Panigale</a> - an easy choice, as this is the marque's premier superbike for 2012. Sure, there was a replica MotoGP machine a few years back called the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/Desmosedici+RR/">Desmosedici RR</a>, but that bike is sold out and the Panigale is likely faster in the hands of all but the most talented riders anyway.<br />

<br />
The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2012/02/10/audi-introduces-360-hp-tt-rs-plus/">2012 Audi TT RS Plus</a> has officially bowed at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/geneva motor show">Geneva Motor Show</a>. The stunning little coupe packs the same 360 horsepower and 343 pound-feet of torque as the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/audi/tt+rs/">TT RS</a> we know and love here in the States, but with around 100 fewer pounds to lug around. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/audi/">Audi</a> still isn't saying where the weight savings comes from, though we'd wager the coupe boasts lighter seats and less crash garb than its U.S. counterpart. Even with the all-wheel drive coupe's slimmer curb weight, the TT RS Plus still does the 0-62 mph dash in 4.1 seconds, which is identical to the standard <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/10/19/2012-audi-tt-rs-first-drive-review/">TT RS we played with</a> not too long ago.<br />
<br />
Does that make us love the two-door any less? Hell no. The brawny turbocharged 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine under the hood is a thing of beauty and the two-tone wheels and eye-searing red paint are absolute traffic stoppers. Did we mention it tops out at 174 mph? Job done.<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2012/03/06/2012-audi-tt-rs-plus-geneva-2012/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>2012 Audi TT RS Plus is a diet we can live with</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2012/03/06/2012-audi-tt-rs-plus-geneva-2012/">2012 Audi TT RS Plus is a diet we can live with</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Tue, 06 Mar 2012 14:39:00 EST.

<br />
A few months ago, we heard word <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/audi">Audi</a> was hard at work on an <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/10/25/audi-developing-lighter-more-powerful-tt-rs-plus/">even sharper version</a> of its <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/10/19/2012-audi-tt-rs-first-drive-review/">TT RS</a>, and as it turns out, those rumors were true. Well, sort of. The German automaker has unveiled the Audi TT RS 'plus' in the EU, though the vehicle produces the same 360 horsepower as the fire-breather we sampled last year. The 0-60 mph dash takes the same 4.1 seconds, though buyers in the old country will have the option of outfitting their purchase with a seven-speed dual-clutch S-tronic gearbox. Likewise, the TT RS plus is available in both hardtop and convertible configurations, whereas buyers in the U.S. can only have theirs as a fixed-roof coupe with a manual gearbox.<br />
<br />
Interestingly enough, Audi lists the vehicle's curb weight at 3,196.7 pounds, which is just over 100 pounds lighter than what the company quoted us for the U.S.-spec model back in October. Given the weight reduction, we would expect slightly improved performance over the American TT RS, but the 0-60 mph figures are nearly identical.<br />
<br />
It wasn't long after we drove the TT RS that whispers of an even brawnier TT RS 'plus' surfaced. The vehicle was rumored to have 385 horsepower and weigh in at 130 pounds less than the standard model. You know what they say: One out of two ain't bad... or something. <a href="/2012/02/10/audi-introduces-360-hp-tt-rs-plus/#continued">Hit the jump</a> for the press release.<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2012/02/10/audi-introduces-360-hp-tt-rs-plus/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Audi introduces 360-hp TT RS 'plus'</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2012/02/10/audi-introduces-360-hp-tt-rs-plus/">Audi introduces 360-hp TT RS 'plus'</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Fri, 10 Feb 2012 10:28:00 EST.

<br />
When the first <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/audi/tt/">Audi TT</a> hit the market in 1998, its design was nothing short of revolutionary. The current model (pictured above in <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/10/19/2012-audi-tt-rs-first-drive-review/">RS form</a>), while dynamically superior, has been mainstreamed a bit, going with a more evolutionary approach. But now, rumor has it that <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/audi/">Audi</a> is preparing to launch an all-new third-generation model at the rapidly approaching <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tokyo-motor-show">Tokyo Motor Show</a>, and our interests our piqued.<br />
<br />
Little in the way of details is known as to the direction Audi is preparing to take with the new TT, but sources expect it to go slightly upmarket in order to make room for a smaller, less costly <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/r4/">R4</a> mid-engined sportscar. The TT, however, is expected to retain its front-engine, all-wheel-drive layout. Stylistically, we'd expect the new TT to adopt some of the design cues laid down by recently concept cars like the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/12/07/audi-quattro-concept-quick-spin-review-road-test/">Quattro</a> from last year.<br />
<br />
Audi, for its part, is staying mum on the subject, announcing the five-door <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/11/18/audi-reveals-a1-sportback-five-door/">A1 Sportback</a> as its major debut for the Japanese expo. Whether a new TT - be it in concept form or production-ready - will join it remains to be seen.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/11/21/audi-to-preview-next-tt-at-tokyo-motor-show/">Audi to preview next TT at Tokyo Motor Show?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Mon, 21 Nov 2011 11:01:00 EST.

<br />
What's better than a 360-horsepower <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/audi%20tt%20rs">Audi TT RS</a>? Well, not a whole heck of a lot, as we recently found while <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/10/19/2012-audi-tt-rs-first-drive-review/">test-driving</a> the pint-sized beast on American soil. But how about a TT RS Plus with more power and less weight? Now that's the ticket.<br />
<br />
Rumors pouring in from overseas suggest that Audi is preparing to upgrade the coupe's 2.5-liter turbo five to 385 horsepower and removing some 130 pounds worth of extra weight - like the rear seats, for a start. Given that the current version already runs the 0-60 in 4.1 seconds, dropping that time into the threes wouldn't be out of the question.<br />
<br />
Of course with the TT RS still making its way to these shores, we wouldn't hold our breath for the Plus version. One supercar-trouncing super-coupe at a time, right?<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/10/25/audi-developing-lighter-more-powerful-tt-rs-plus/">Audi developing lighter, more powerful TT RS Plus?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Tue, 25 Oct 2011 11:01:00 EST.

<br />
<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/audi">Audi</a> has finally released U.S. pricing on the company's <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/tt rs">2012 TT RS</a>. Buyers looking to jump into the 360-horsepower coupe can plan on handing over $56,850 (*plus any applicable destination charges) for the pleasure of ownership. That pricing scoots the mean little Audi well under the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/cayman s">Porsche Cayman S</a> at $62,100, though the topless <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/porsche/boxster">Boxster S</a> narrows that gap somewhat with a price tag of $58,600. Of course, both of those lithe sports cars are down by about 50 ponies compared to the new Quattro terror, which helps give the edge from stop light to stop light. The German automaker says that the 2012 TT RS can scoot to 60 mph in a scant 4.1 seconds.<br />

That's moving right along, especially considering that the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/1+series+m">BMW 1 Series M Coupe</a> does the same sprint in 4.7 seconds. It's also about $1,600 cheaper, but who's counting? For comparison's sake, the 265-hp TTS starts at $47,000, itself already a big leap over the $38,300 base 211-hp TT.<br />
<br />
With so many diminutive, excellent German racers about, the North American enthusiast's world is clearly a better place than it was just a few years ago. <a href="/2011/07/08/2012-audi-tt-rs-priced-from-56-850/#continued">Hit the jump</a> to check the full press blast and be sure to check out the high-res gallery.<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/07/08/2012-audi-tt-rs-priced-from-56-850/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>2012 Audi TT RS priced from $56,850*</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/07/08/2012-audi-tt-rs-priced-from-56-850/">2012 Audi TT RS priced from $56,850*</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Fri, 08 Jul 2011 16:29:00 EST.

	2011 Audi TT 2.0 Quattro Coupe - Click above for high-res image gallery</div>
<br />
<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/audi/">Audi</a> invited us out to a California track a little more than a year ago for some <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/15/2010-audi-tt-rs-quick-spin/">hot laps in its new TT RS</a>. Fresh out of development, the enthusiast-tuned variant of its ever-stylish coupe was fitted with a turbocharged 2.5-liter five-cylinder sending 340 horsepower to every corner through Audi's Quattro all-wheel-drive system. Quick, nimble and offered only with a six-speed manual, the gussied-up two-seater was not only the ultimate expression of the chassis' capabilities, it was a gift to those with a passion for driving.<br />
<br />
Last September, after a successful <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/09/14/audi-tt-rs-headed-to-america-after-facebook-petition-success/">Facebook petition</a>, Audi decided to bring the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/tt+RS">TT RS</a> to the States. As word of the announcement spread, we're guessing that more than a few <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/porsche/boxster">Porsche Boxster</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/mercedes-benz/slk-class">Mercedes-Benz SLK</a> owners felt chills go up their spines.<br />
<br />
Fourteen months after blasting around Willow Springs Raceway in the talented TT RS, we found a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/audi/tt">TT 2.0T Quattro</a> sitting in our driveway. For those unfamiliar with Audi's lineup, the 2.0T is relegated to the bottom of the pole as the least expensive and least powerful model in the franchise.<br />
<br />
So... just how would we swallow the entry-level coupe with the taste of the wondrous TT RS still fresh in our mouths? As it happened, we were pleasantly surprised.<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/06/16/2011-audi-tt-2-0-quattro-coupe-review/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>2011 Audi TT 2.0 Quattro Coupe</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/06/16/2011-audi-tt-2-0-quattro-coupe-review/">2011 Audi TT 2.0 Quattro Coupe</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Thu, 16 Jun 2011 11:57:00 EST.

<br />
When <em>Car and Driver</em> tested the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/audi/r8">2011 Audi R8 Spyder 5.2 V10 FSI</a>, the magazine managed a 0-60 time of <a href="http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/car/10q1/2011_audi_r8_spyder_5.2_v10_fsi_quattro-first_drive_review">3.7 seconds</a>. That's supercar territory, which is to be expected of a $165,00 Audi with 525 horsepower and all-wheel-drive.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/audi+tt+rs/">2012 Audi TT RS</a> should hit dealer lots this summer, with a much more reasonable Monroney somewhere in the $60,000 territory. The hot coupe features "only" 335 horsepower from its turbocharged 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine, so it shouldn't even come close to challenging the V10-packing R8 from 0-60, right? According to C/D, the TT RS can do more than just "challenge" the R8 Spyder, as the little hatch managed to hit 60 mph in a blistering 3.6 seconds (note: C/D conducts acceleration testing with a rollout). That's quicker than the R8 and a lot of very expensive <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/porsche/911">Porsche 911</a> variants. Could this stupendous performance be an aberration?<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/04/12/video-audi-tt-rs-blasts-from-0-60-in-3-6-seconds-with-car-an/#continued">Hit the jump</a> to watch the action-packed video of the TT RS. It's only 50 seconds long, and it's worth your time if only for the amazing sounds coming from Audi's boosted five cylinder. <em>Top tip, JimmyX!</em><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><small>Audi TT GT4 Concept - Click above for high-res image gallery</small></strong></em></div>
<br />
Heads up, weekend racers: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/audi">Audi</a> has officially pulled back the sheets on its <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/audi/tt">TT</a> GT4 Concept. Designed to be the next logical step in the company's customer sports program, the racer will supposedly bring a relatively low price tag to the table when it arrives as a production model in 2012, but for the moment, it's been confined to some demo laps at Shanghai's DTM over the weekend with racer Frank Biela behind the wheel.<br />
<br />
The racer comes complete with a 340-horsepower TFSI engine back by the company's S-Tronic DSG gearbox and a limited-slip differential. Buyers will also find a set of adjustable dampers on hand for improved tuning, as well as carbon fiber reinforced plastic skins on the doors, hood and trunk lid.<br />
<br />
How much will you be asked to pay for the privilege of owning such a piece of machinery? Chances of this vehicle making it to the States seem pretty slim, but Audi says that European buyers can look to fork over around &euro;120,000 (around $157k USD). That's probably a small bargain in the world of privateer ready-to-race cars, but it also goes some way toward reinforcing that people have a slightly different definitions of "affordable." Check out the official press release after the jump and our high-res gallery below.<br />

<br />
What happens when tuners cast eyes on the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/audi/r8">Audi R8</a> is symptomatic of the basic and inherent awesomeness of the R8 proposition, both design- and driving-wise. See, there isn't much that happens on any tuned Audi R8 - all of them look like Audi R8s, maybe with a little more carbon fiber and a new set of wheels. There is simply nothing else to be done to it that could make it better, or, at least, we haven't seen it, and so almost all hyped R8s are known by their rims.<br />
<br />
Stasis has joined that club, with an R8 Custom Spyder blessed with up to 7.5 psi of supercharger boost good for 710 horsepower, some suspension mods and a 20-inch set of its trademark wheels. An independent cooler keeps the supercharger chilled, and a lighter, more open exhaust runs out of larger tailpipes. It certainly looks good, and that's mostly because the R8 looks good on its own.<br />
<br />
Of all of the high-dollar cars in <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/10/20/audi-announces-first-ever-display-at-sema/">Audi's first-ever space at SEMA</a>, only the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/06/25/audi-unveils-new-livery-for-autonomous-tts-pikes-peak-w-video/">autonomous TTS</a> was behind a barrier and untouchable. Pikes Peak dust still coated its antennas and inertial sensors, and the open hatch revealed just how much computer hardware is necessary to replace a human. Almost. There are details in the press release after the jump, and multiple views of both in the gallery of high-res photos below.<br />

<br />
Originally, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/audi/">Audi</a> didn't plan to send the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/TT+RS/">TT RS</a> over for the U.S.. Thanks to <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/09/14/audi-tt-rs-headed-to-america-after-facebook-petition-success/">a petition on Facebook</a>, it changed its tune and the car go on sale Stateside sometime in the near future. Once again turning to Facebook, we came across these photos of a  TT RS variant we'll never see in our driveway, regardless of how often we click the "Like" button: a DTM-inspired racer that's set to debut in the VLN Endurance series. <br />
<br />
Audi has teamed with Raeder Motorsports and will run the car during the last two rounds of the Endurance Championship, held at the N&uuml;rburgring. The production version of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/15/2010-audi-tt-rs-quick-spin/">Audi TT RS is a blast to drive</a>, so we can only imagine the thrills the competition-spec car provides.<br />

</small><em><strong><small>MTM Audi TT RS - Click above for high-res image gallery</small></strong></em></div>
<br />
You'd be forgiven for believe the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/tt">Audi TT</a> RS is fast enough. By most accounts it is, packing a 340 horsepower, turbocharged inline five, it's good for a four-and-a-half-second sprint to sixty and a 174 mph top speed. But if you're going after the triple-century metric mark (close to 200 mph), you're going to need a little something extra.<br />
<br />
So says <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/mtm">MTM</a>. And they ought to know. The German tuning house has a history of taking <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/audi">Audis</a> to the V-max and beyond, having brought an <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/10/09/mtm-audi-rs6-avant-goes-214-mph-proves-wagons-uber-alles/">RS6 Avant</a> to 344.2 km/h in 2009, a radical <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/24/two-mean-mtm-tt-bimoto-hits-244mph-looks-good-doing-it/">twin-engine TT</a> to 393.6 in 2007 and a Bentley to 331 in 2008.<br />
<br />
In an effort to take the TT RS past the 300 mark without the need for breaching the 500 hp mark, MTM tweaked the ECU, modified the turbo spools and fitted a new exhaust system - along with new wheels, tires and brakes. The result of the engine mods was 472 hp, enough to get its customized TT RS up to a GPS-certified top speed of 312 km/h (just under 194 mph) at Italy's Nardo test track. And they'll sell you the modifications too, for a price: &euro;14,500 for the engine mods and another &euro;9,973 for the suspension and wheel work, taxes and installation included.<br />
<br />
Having proven their point about power:speed ratios, MTM's also working on a 500+hp version. We can hardly wait to see what they'll manage with that one, but for now you can check out the images in the gallery below and the details in the press release after the jump.<br />

Audi TT RS - Click above for high-res image gallery</small></em></strong></div>
<br />
<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/audi/">Audi</a> has just announced that it will begin importing the hottest version of its little sports car, the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/15/2010-audi-tt-rs-quick-spin/">TT-RS</a>, in the third quarter of next year. <br />
<br />
The product move comes after Audi whipped up a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/08/08/audi-creates-petition-to-bring-the-tt-rs-to-the-u-s/">Facebook petition page</a> that gathered in excess of 11,500 signatures in just a month's time. <br />
<br />
The move to import the 360-horsepower Porsche Boxster and Mercedes-Benz SLK AMG-fighter isn't much of a surprise - after all, Audi has been <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/15/2010-audi-tt-rs-quick-spin/">courting the media with test drives</a> for months, and an Audi executive at last week's launch of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/09/14/audi-a7-first-drive-review/">A7 Sportback</a> in Sardinia <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/09/10/audi-s7-likely-headed-for-paris-tt-rs-for-u-s-decision-imminen/">hinted that a decision was to be revealed</a> in a few days.<br />
<br />
No word yet on what pricing or the options list will look like, but only the hard-hatted coupe will make it to these shores - the Roadster will remain forbidden fruit. <br />

<br />
There is only one <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/AudiTTRS/">Audi TT RS</a> in the entire United States right now. And here we are, hurling the black coupe down the front straight at Willow Springs Raceway at 132 mph. We've been invited out to the sunny California desert on a pristine day to flog the hottest-ever <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/tt">Audi TT</a> back-to-back against its <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/audi/tts">TTS</a> sibling, along with a few stints in the all-new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/S4">S4</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/audi/r8">R8 V10</a> for good measure.<br />
<br />
The TT RS isn't simply another upgraded model in the automaker's diversified lineup. The TTS (and the other standard performance models) come from the Audi AG Sport division, while the TT RS was incubated and hatched by Quattro GmbH - the team who brought us the nefarious R8, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/rs4">RS4</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/RS6/">RS6</a>. And while we've seen the TT on our shores with four- and six-cylinder powerplants, the new five-cylinder engine marks a significant departure for the front-engine coupe and convertible (even as it pays homage to the original 1980s-era Audi Sport Quattro). <br />
<br />
So what makes the TT RS special and how does it fit into the current TT lineup? More importantly, how does the enthusiast-tuned package work under demanding track conditions? We intend to find out while answering a very important question for Audi: Should it bring the TT RS to the States?<br />

<br />
Audi's half moon-shaped fashionista, the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/tt">TT</a> is getting a bit of a nip/tuck for 2011. Both the hardtop and roadster receive modestly refreshed exteriors and interiors, along with a new 2.0-liter TFSI four-cylinder model whose 211 horses gallop with an eye toward superior fuel economy (<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/audi/">Audi</a> claims fuel economy of nearly 36 miles-per-gallon on the combined European cycle). This is the same revamped four-banger that has been appearing in engine bays throughout the German automaker's lineup, and while its horsepower increase is modest over the 2010 model (+11), the use of Audi's Valvelift system helps the engine generate a big slug of torque - 258 pound-feet of the stuff - a healthy 51 lb-ft. more than its predecessor. Audi says that all-wheel drive equipped TT will hit 62 mph in 5.6 seconds, so performance hasn't suffered, either. For the U.S. market, there's still no sign of a manual gearbox, but we've professed our love for the company's six-speed S Tronic dual-clutch in the past and expect it to once again be an astute partner here.<br />
<br />
We didn't expect Audi to go crazy with the TT's mid-cycle refresh and true to form, they've exercised due restraint. The 2011 receives bigger air inlets up front, a shinier gloss black grille finish, and, of course, Audi's fast-becoming-compulsory LED daytime running lamps (as seen on the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/audi/tts">higher-performance TTS model</a>). Inspect the car's rounded rump and you'll find a new flat black rear diffuser, (very) modestly retouched taillamps, and new exhaust outlets. New paint colors include Scuba Blue, Oolong Gray, Volcano Red and Dakota Gray.<br />
<br />
The interior has received the hand of refinement as well, with a trio of new cabin colors, leather that's been specially treated to resist solar heat, and are a few new aluminum bits of trim. <br />
<br />
Audi has yet to release U.S. pricing information, but we'll be sure to update you when it comes through. In the meantime, check out our high-res gallery below and the official press release after the jump.<br />

<br />
When <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/audi/">Audi</a> launched the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/06/04/pics-aplenty-2010-audi-tt-rs-is-ready-for-its-closeup/">TT RS</a>, we were initially told that the automaker had no plans to bring it to the States. And while rumors have cropped up that <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/03/09/rumormill-audi-tt-rs-rs5-coming-stateside/">suggest otherwise</a>, we still don't have the official word from Audi about whether we'll ever get the chance to experience the 335-horsepower TT. However, our friends to the north can apparently rejoice - Audi will reportedly be bringing the TT RS to Canada, albeit in very limited numbers (250 units, to be exact). It is not yet clear whether those 250 units will be in coupe or convertible form - or both.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-bmw-x1/"><img vspace="4" hspace="0" border="1" align="right" alt="" class="right border" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/03/006-2011-bmw-x1-off.jpg" /></a>Additionally, <em>Monvolant</em> reports that Canadian consumers will be able to spec a rear-wheel drive <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/bmw+x1/">BMW X1</a> when the crossover goes on sale next year - a configuration that will not be available in the States. Canada is likely to only receive X1s equipped with BMW's 3.0-liter inline-six, good for around 260 horsepower.<br />
<br />
We aren't very upset about the fact that U.S.-spec X1s will only have all-wheel drive. However, if Audi is going to tease us by bringing 250 examples of the too-hot TT to this continent, the least it could do is spec a few for U.S. (or just Autoblog) consumption. <em>Thanks for the tip, Martin!<br />
