2022 Audi TT RS Performance

For some unfathomable reason, the Audi TT has been seen by many car enthusiasts as a bit of a 'hairdresser's car,' despite it proving time and time again that it is a capable sports car. The latest generation of TT has once again made it crystal clear that it is here to deliver pure performance driving pleasure, and the RS sits at the top of the pile. What makes the RS so alluring is that it is a real-life sleeper car and will take down much more exotic machinery with ease. The secret lies with its 2.5-liter five-cylinder turbo engine that delivers 394 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque. Mate that to a quattro AWD system, and you have a recipe for success, despite its front-biased nature. Audi loves underquoting performance figures, and the TT RS feels much faster than what it says in the specs. The 0 to 60 mph sprint takes only 3.6 seconds, and a top speed of 155 mph arrives not much later - or 174 mph in the case of the Heritage Edition. The TT RS launches from a standstill like a bat out of hell, and you'll embarrass much more expensive machinery from the lights, guaranteed.

The performance car market has been flooded with small capacity turbocharged engines, usually of the 2.0-liter four-pot variety. These engines deliver good poke and manage to keep fuel costs down but can suffer from turbo lag, and in some cases, top-end power is compromised due to small turbochargers. The TT RS works around this by adding a cylinder, some extra displacement, and a larger turbo. The result is one of the most characterful modern turbo engines around. The sound alone will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand at full attention, but it is the real-world performance that bowls most over. This 2.5-liter five-pot delivers 394 horses and 354 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The combination of low to mid-range torque and a lightning-fast transmission means that the RS feels faster than the official numbers claim. Highway overtaking speeds are monumental, but the dual-clutch transmission also allows for chilled city crawling and long-distance cruising.

与近400惠普将所有四个车轮s, you'd think that this supercar-slayer would be a thirsty beast, but it surprises with frugal fuel consumption figures. The EPA rates that the 2022 Audi TT RS will consume 20/29/23 mpg city/highway/combined. These figures best the 19 mpg combined figure of last year's BMW M2, as well as that of the 2022 Porsche 718 Cayman S with its 22 mpg. Independent real-world testing has shown that the TT RS will best its official numbers by a significant margin, too, provided you can keep the lead out of your shoes. With a 14.5-gallon fuel tank on board, the TT should have a maximum range of around 333 miles.
