Go on, make your “hairdresser’s car” jokes. The TT RS doesn’t care.
Audi is doing its damnedest to ensure the inline-5 engine doesn’t disappear entirely. And considering what it helps the 2018 TT RS achieve, I think it’s got plenty of staying power.
That may sound like a decent chunk of change, and it is, but you get some real hustle for your buck. Its 2.5-liter I5 engine puts out a healthy 400 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque.
It can stop just as well as it can go too, thanks to standard eight-piston front brakes. Throw in the Dynamic Plus package, and the front brakes are upgraded to carbon-ceramic units that offer more consistent stopping under heavy use.
