The Audi TT RS: Sporty Powerhouse with Five
Cylinders
Ingolstadt -
Audi is once again producing a five-cylinder powerhouse: the Audi TT RS will
be unveiled to the world at the Geneva Auto Show. Its turbocharged 2.5-liter
engine produces well above 300 bhp.
It also delivers explosive acceleration, driving
delight, and unrivalled sound. A legend is reborn. After all, powerful
five-cylinder gasoline engines have a long legacy at Audi. And the turbocharged
direct-fuel-injection engine in the TT RS is the new torchbearer of this
dynamic tradition. It enables the TT RS to perform extraordinary feats. For
example, it needs nowhere near five seconds to reach 100 km/h (62.14 mph);
overtaking is child's play; and 250 km/h (155.34 mph) is the limited top
speed only on paper. The quattro permanent all-wheel drive system, a
sophisticated chassis, and stupendous brakes keep a tight rein on the power.
All in all, the compact TT RS - with its lightweight and largely aluminum
body constructed as per the Audi Space Frame principle - is a driving machine
to be reckoned with.
AUDI AG sold around 1,003,400 cars in 2008 and thus achieved its thirteenth
consecutive record year. Audi produces vehicles in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm
(Germany), Györ (Hungary), Changchun (China) and Brussels (Belgium).
Aurangabad in India saw the start of local production of the Audi A6 at the
end of 2007 and of the Audi A4 in early October 2008. The company is active
in more than 100 markets worldwide. AUDI AG's wholly owned subsidiaries include
Automobili Lamborghini Holding S.p.A. in Sant'Agata Bolognese (Italy) and
quattro GmbH in Neckarsulm. Audi currently employs around 57,000 people
worldwide, including 45,000 in Germany. The brand with the four rings invests
more than 2 billion each year in order to sustain the company's
technological lead embodied in its "Vorsprung durch Technik" slogan. Audi
plans to significantly increase the number of models in its portfolio by
2015 to 40. The Audi brand celebrates its 100th birthday in 2009. The company
was founded by August Horch in Zwickau on July 16, 1909; he named it Audi
after the Latin translation of his surname ("hark!"). |
