BMW USED CARS

Just two days after Audi officially unveiled the TT-RS at the Geneva Auto Show in Switzerland, the company has released some very cool video of both the Coupe and Roadster models ripping up and down some abandoned roads.

The new TT-RS makes340hp and an impressive 332 ft-lbs of torque from an all-new turbocharged 2.5-liter 5-cylinder engine.

But the TT-RS is about more than just power, its actually intended to be a real drivers car. The car weighs quite little, especially considering it retains its quattro all-wheel drive system. The curb weight of the coupe is just3,197 pounds and the roadster will tip the scales at 3,329 lbs.

Zero to 62 mph is rated at 4.6 seconds with a tenth of a second more for the TT-RS Roadster.One of the reasons is that all that torque is available as of just 1600 rpm.

The TT-RS features a new suspension setup with stiffer springs and quicker reacting shocks. It also comes with 18-inch wheels with 245/45/18 tires at all four corners. (19 and 20-inch wheels are optional). Front brake calipers measure 14.6-inches and rears measure 12.2-inches. Audi was also smart in that they made it possible to completely shut off the stability control.

The interior will be offered in several different specifications with one trim-line even including a mixed leather and Alcantara design.

Impressively, the car is available exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission. Which brings us to the bad news its not available in North America. Not yet anyway.
