The 2018 TT RS with standard quattro all-wheel drive will make its US debut at the 2017 New York International Auto Show.
The engine’s maximum torque is available between 1,700 and 5,850 rpm.
The power of the 2.5-litre engine flows through a seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission.
For the first time on the TT RS, the quattro all-wheel drive is fully integrated within the Audi drive select system offering four distinct drive modes: comfort, auto, dynamic and individual.
The TT RS is equipped with a four-link rear suspension and a McPherson front suspension with forged aluminum lower control arms.
Standard-equipped RS magnetic ride uses a synthetic blend of oils that contain tiny magnetic particles to adjust the firmness of the dampers within a few milliseconds by creating a magnetic field within the shock absorber.
Two brake systems are offered on the new TT RS.
The TT RS comes standard equipped with eight-piston monobloc brake calipers with 370mm ventilated and cross-drilled discs at the front.
Also available are front carbon-ceramic brake discs with Anthracite Gray painted calipers as part of the Dynamic plus package.
Exterior design highlights include 19-inch, five-arm design Galvano silver wheels with summer performance tyres or available 20-inch, seven-spoke-design, Galvano silver forged wheels with summer tyres.
