The Audi TT RS Coupé iconic edition - Form follows function - Legendary 5-cylinder delivers unmatched sound

The TT RS Coupé iconic edition relies on the proven 2.5 TFSI engine from Audi Sport with 294 kW (400 hp) and a maximum torque of 480 Nm. Numerous successes in motorsport make it one of Audi's most emotional powertrains. Its strong performance in series production has also earned the 5-cylinder the 'International Engine of the Year Award' nine times in a row since 2010. Its power flows TT RS-typically through a 7-speed S tronic to the permanent all-wheel drive quattro. An electrohydraulically controlled multi-plate clutch, which made its debut as a technology in the Audi TT in 1998, distributes the all-wheel power freely between the front and rear axles. Via the Audi drive select dynamic driving system, the driver can influence the quattro drive and other components such as steering, 7-speed S tronic, exhaust flaps, and engine characteristics. The Audi TT RS Coupé iconic edition2 reaches a top speed of 280 km/h. The compact sports car sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds. The engine, with its typical firing sequence 1-2-4-5-3 and the associated robust sound, provides a highly emotional driving experience. Due to the firing sequence, adjacent cylinders and widely spaced ones ignite alternately. This brings a very special rhythm and character. The odd number of cylinders leads to harmonic frequencies that accompany the fundamental tone. The engine control unit also contributes to the distinctive sound. Under higher load, it opens the flaps in the exhaust system for an even fuller sound.
