Confirmed for launch at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show and expected on the European market by fall 2009, the Audi TT RS will mark the top of the TT range at Audi. This new model will expand Audi’s RS line of cars even further, and push the aluminum-bodied TT to near supercar performance levels.

Check out all we know about the TT RS after the jump, including a few new teaser detail images and two CGI profile shots we created today based on the latest details revealed in the teaser shots.

CHANCES FOR NORTH AMERICAN SALES: Audi of America is staying coy about the TT RS for now and that’s probably prudent. Sources inside Audi’s Herndon, VA offices tell us the car has yet to be officially signed off for America, but that hardly means it’s not coming. One indicator of the TT RS’ status is the recently-launched TTS model. Essentially a replacement for the 3.2, a model due to be phased out, the replacement TTS only came with Audi’s dual-clutch S-tronic transmission, skipping the manual 6-speed gearbox. In today’s environment of slimming down drivetrain proliferation, this makes sense if a TT RS is in bound or the decision has yet to be made. If the TT RS were not imported, we’d guess a TTS with a manual would be added. Its absence bodes well for the North American future of the 350-hp RS. As for pricing, this has not been finalized either. Given the car’s place in the Audi lineup though, you can expect the TT RS to slot in between the TTS that can stretch into the $50,000 range and the out-of-production RS 4 that based around $62,000.

incorporate the deployable unit.

I agree... a fixed wing ruins the lines.

I got to drive a Solar Orange TTs coupe two weekends ago for the night (got it from work to take to a car show). there was a mob of people around the car all night, and the thing drove so damn nice on the highway, and had plenty of power when it needed to scoot.
Based on that, i can't imagine what fun the RS would be.

The oddest feeling so far has been the work done on my rear, its not like it really hurts but more like it just feels wrong.

I love the fixed spoiler; it gives the car a real legitimate "race car" look.

Well done Audi!

It's still a fwd based haldex WTF Audi? The styling alone makes me want one, but disappointed with the haldex.
I'll just wait for the R4, hopefully then they'll make it rwd based, somewhat similar to the carrera 4s.

The Absense Of Evidence Is Not Evidence Of Absense

And, as mentioned before, fwd-based awd...

From BlownM3 - "This whole pissing match could have been avoided if the OP did a freaking search!!"

VW remains the "Peoples car"... but the "Peoples" need to bring more money (das loot?).

........oh, and already coming to the US for sure.

but if you want a small, more nimble car that Torsen will not fit into.....that car is called a TT RS. go drive a TTS and see how damn fun and fast that car is. also how amazingly capable it is on the street or track...........now imagine it with a bigger blow off sound, better sounding exhaust note and 75hp more!!!!

HPA has proven that big hp (+550) and haldex is a wonderfully capable package.

Judging by how good the TTS is and how it has compared in reviews to other car this should be special.

Would like to see some reiews soon to see real world acceleration figures with this engine as it has an enormously wide power band

If the times the TTS is putting down are anything to go by it should be a rocket. Have a look at this Motorweek test, the TTS matches the new 370z 0-60 and pretty much in the 1/4 also

This car is pretty significant, from a hp and performance perspective and from a heritage perspective. If you're a dashstroker, I am, then things like the perforated script leather are a sweet touch only ever seen before in an R8 V12 TDI concept. IMHO, that's pretty cool.

This is far from no changes, though I'll agree most of the budget for changes was spent on that engine and most of the other changes are mainly trim. They're still cool trim and good for the OEM plus crowd even if they're not going to buy the RS.

Saying though that this car is just a rebadged TT or TTS is pretty inaccurate.
