This power unit develops a power of 340 liters. With. And torque 450 Nm, providing shiny dynamic characteristics. In combination with the QUATTRO permanent all-wheel drive system and a highly efficient chassis, it turns the compact Audi TT RS, whether it is a compartment or rubber, into an extra-class sports car.
 
Production of powerful sports five -cylinder engines Audi long -standing tradition. Perhaps the most famous of them is 2.1 liters with a turbocharger for the Audi Quattro model.

The second from the Sport Quattro, which was developed for the racing unit of the brand and introduced in 1984, differed even more than 306 horses. For 25 years, it is precisely power units with turbocharged and all -wheel drive QUATTRO are the formula for Audi success.
 
Today, Audi continues to create the famous five -cylinder engine. As a result of the latest developments, a motor has appeared that combines turbocharging with the technology of direct gasoline FSI gasoline, which takes the TT RS car to the highest sports level. Their 340 l. With. (250 kW) TFSI draws from 2480 cubes of the working volume: specific power per unit of liters is 137.1 liters. With. (100.8 kW).
 
It is also impressive that the compartment weighing no more than 1450 kg between the specific gravity and the unit of power is 4.3 kg per 1 liter. with., at Rodster (1510 kg) 4.4 kg per 1 liter. With. Such indicators were achieved at the expense of an ultra -light body made mainly from aluminum using Audi Space Frame (ASF) technology.
 
TT RS compartment accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h for 4.6 s, the relatives for this are required by 0.1 s larger. The maximum speed is forcibly limited by electronics at a mark of 250 km/h, without this formality, both Audi models can develop at least 280 km/h.
 
A huge traction is even more striking: the maximum torque of 450 nm is steadily provided in the range of 16005300 rpm. Audi TT RS plays playfully with overall maneuvers. A high -speed engine, rapidly and powerfully reacting to the gas pedal, with its unique rumble sound again and again, the driver delights, and this is a real five -cylinder classical music from Audi!
 
Sports motor 2.5 TFSI is very compact: thanks to a overall length of 49 cm, it is great for the transverse installation in TT RS. The mass indicator is just as exemplary only 183 kg. The cylinder block is cast from cast iron with plate graphite this high -tech material combines maximum strength with moderate mass and, as a rule, is used only in large TDI engines from AUDI. Thoughtful stiffness elements additionally increase stress resistance. The head of the cylinder block is made of aluminum alloy, pistons and connecting rods also have small mass with high strength.
 
A powerful five -cylinder engine is extremely economically consuming fuel: the average component of the compartment is 9.2 l/100 km of the path (Roadster 9.5 l/100 km).
 
Audi TT RS First classic sports car of the Audi RS family. Like brothers RS 4 and RS 6, it was developed by QUATTRO GmbH specialists, making a purebred uncompromising sports car.
