The Audi TT RS for 2021 appears to be aggressive and pricey enough. Its 394-hp turbocharged five-cylinder engine is also capable of competing. Inside, the TT RS features a tech-forward cabin with Audi’s usual immaculate build quality, but it lacks the luxury taste that Jaguar F-Type and BMW Z4 purchasers would appreciate.

The handling of the Audi is likewise less appealing than that of rival sports cars in its class. That’s not to say the TT RS isn’t enjoyable to drive; it is, but its effortlessness lacks the drama we desire when approaching a car’s limit, and it lacks the agility that makes vehicles like the Cayman sing.

Audi TT RS 2020

Red brake calipers are available as a stand-alone option for the 2020 Audi TT RS, and a new color, Pulse Orange, has been added to the palette. Otherwise, it’s just as powerful and stylish as it was in 2019. The TT RS, on the other hand, is simple to drive quickly, and its all-wheel-drive grip and predictable handling make the driver feel like a hero. T

he TT RS is the loudest of the TT lineup, with 394 horsepower under the hood. A unique turbocharged 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine produces the horses, revving joyously and sounding so good it gives us chills.

When it comes to customizing a TT RS, there isn’t much to choose from: it’s only available as a coupe and with a limited number of options. Navigation, a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto capabilities, blind-spot monitoring, and a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system are included with the Black Optic package, which also includes 20-inch wheels, summer tires, and gloss-black exterior decor. The Audi TT RS 2020 price – $68,595.

Audi TT RS 2021

The price of Audi’s pocket rocket has risen significantly for 2021, over $5000 more than last year’s model. The 2021 TT RS, on the other hand, receives a lot more standard equipment to justify the asking price. 20-inch wheels, in-dash navigation, blind-spot monitoring, a Bang & Olufsen radio system, red brake calipers, and carbon fiber inside trim are now standard on all versions.

The Black Optic package’s features (black exterior trim and black wheels), which were previously optional, are now standard. Sport exhaust with black tips, black exterior badging, and a steering wheel with a red mark at the top are all available as options for buyers.

Audi TT RS 2021 Price

When it comes to customizing a TT RS, there isn’t much to choose from: it’s only available as a coupe and with a limited number of options. We’d spend $1000 on a performance exhaust system and replace the fixed rear spoiler with an electrically retractable one—a free option that gives the TT RS a cleaner appearance. The Audi TT RS 2021 price – $73,545.

Performance

The 394-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine in the Audi TT RS is distinctive and appealing, and it works well with the standard Quattro all-wheel drive and quick seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The TT RS surges forward with such immediacy and force that you might think you’ve been sucked into a wormhole.

The seven-speed transmission is more than willing to downshift as soon as you demand more power, and the TT RS surges forward with such immediacy and force that you might think you’ve been sucked into a wormhole. This athlete is transformed into a comfy cruiser with careful throttle pedal modulation. The TT RS feels secure and planted on the road when equipped with its standard adaptive dampers, especially when the road becomes viciously twisty, so even rookie drivers can feel confidence chucking it around corners at supra legal speeds.

Fuel Efficiency

Don’t be fooled by the TT RS’s uncompromising performance; the turbo five-cylinder engine is surprisingly efficient. According to the EPA, the 2021 model will achieve 20 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway.

Audi TT RS 2021 Interior

Leather seats with diamond stitching are standard, as is the cabin’s design’s eye-catching, well-integrated aluminum trim. However, ventilated front seats, a power-adjustable steering wheel, and a memory function for the driver and front-passenger seats are not included in the car’s expensive price tag.

We squeezed nine carry-on luggage behind the front seats with the back row folded (as it should always be—no kind person would subject a buddy to the RS’s back seat), making the TT RS by far the most usable vehicle in its class. Unwieldy cargo will have trouble fitting into the cargo compartment, which is rather large but not particularly tall, and the liftback rear opening is long but narrow, as with many automobiles of this type.

Infotainment

Due to a lack of space, the TT RS’s infotainment screen is located in the location normally held by the gauge cluster rather than in the center of the dashboard. This configuration is elegant and simple to use, and it is controlled by a rotary knob on the center console, much like in other Audis. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound, and an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot are all included as standard features.

Audi TT RS 2021 Safety

The TT RS hasn’t been crash-tested by any of the US rating agencies, which isn’t unusual for a car in this class. The TT RS doesn’t have much in the way of optional driver-assistance technology, either. Nonetheless, this is a car that prioritizes driving rather than aimless cruising. We aren’t bothered by the exclusions, but other shoppers may be. The following are important safety features:

• Front and rear parking sensors are included.
• Blind-spot monitoring is an available feature.

Audi’s name alone is enough to lure purchasers from all over the world; the brand has a large fan base and is Volkswagen’s best-selling brand. The German powerhouse has taken a great step forward by presenting the 2021 Audi TT RS. The 2020 version of this car was fantastic, and the improved version has been presented to maintain the grip.
