Audi TT RS Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2016–2019) — Third Generation
The third-generation Audi TT RS is the sharpest version of the TT, offered as a Coupe and a Roadster, pairing a distinctive five-cylinder turbo engine with all-wheel drive and everyday usability.
The Audi TT RS engine is a turbocharged 2.5-litre five-cylinder petrol unit, known for its uneven firing order and deep growl. Examples such as the 2.5 S-tronic in Coupe and Roadster form use a dual-clutch robotic gearbox with quick automatic shifts, sending drive to all four wheels for confident traction.
Audi TT RS trim levels are built on that single technical version rather than on separate engines, so the mechanical package stays the same while equipment varies. The Coupe's 2.5 S-tronic appears in a Basis configuration, which sets the starting point for features like seats, wheels, lighting and audio that buyers could extend with options.
