Audi TT RS spied lapping the 'Ring with updated bodywork

We love the 2018 Audi TT RS. We love its 400 horsepower turbocharged inline-five, its seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and its clean, driver-focused interior. Still, there’s always room for improvement and refinement. It seems Audi agrees, as a refreshed version of Audi’s hottest little coupe was spotted lapping the Nürburgring with some updated bodywork.

The camouflage can’t hide what this car really is. Just take one look at that rear wing. It’s actually slightly different than the current TT RS’ wing, with some small end plates presumably improving the car’s aero. It looks like both the front and rear bumpers will get updates, though it’s difficult to make out any real details through the camouflage.


We don’t have any further details on the car, but don’t expect too much to change under the skin. The engine, transmission and quattro all-wheel drive system should all carry over, maybe with a small boost in power. Hell, we might even see a stripped-down lightweight package to improve the car’s performance.
