Body
Design
From a purely visual standpoint, the Audi TT RS Coupe and the
Roadster are both charismatic athletes. Even when stationary, they
seem to be straining at the leash. The muscular sheet-metal body
and the tautly curved surfaces bounded by sharp lines give the
impression of a sculpture in motion. A series of design highlights
impart the TT RS with that air of raw power which characterises a
top of the line model.
Front view
As always on an Audi, the front end is characterised by the single-
frame grille which is encircled by a frame with a matt aluminium
finish. The grille insert, which sports a TT RS badge, features a
shiny black rhombus design mirroring that of the big side air
intakes. Their flared edges draw air into the engine compartment:
the left intake directs the air to the gearbox; the right intake
routes air to an additional water cooler. The turbocharger takes in
air through the upper section of the single-frame grille, while the
intercooler sits behind the lower segment of the grille.
The front skirt has been redesigned. Its splitter and the rear
spoiler collectively provide perfect aerodynamic balance.
Audi offers the splitter, the moulded lip of the diffuser insert and
the mounting for the rear spoiler in aluminium look as an option.
Side view
From the side, the 18-inch wheels, the large brakes and the flared
side skirts of the Audi TT RS instantly catch the eye. The door
mirror housings have a matt aluminium finish as standard and
are optionally available in the body colour or in carbon.
The "Black Styling Package" featuring a black singleframe grille
frame is optional.
