About the Audi TT RS 8S
The third-generation (8S) TT RS represents the pinnacle of Audi's compact sports car, featuring a heavily revised aluminium-block 2.5-litre five-cylinder engine. Delivering 400 PS through a lightning-fast seven-speed S tronic gearbox and quattro all-wheel drive, it offers relentless all-weather traction and acceleration that rivals contemporary supercars. The 8S generation introduced the Audi Virtual Cockpit as standard, eliminating the central screen for a driver-focused experience. While production ended in 2023, it remains a collector favourite for its unique engine note and giant-killing performance.
