Overview

The 2018 Audi TT RS Coupe makes for an excellent contender in the compact coupe class. With a standalone trim on offer, the 2018 Audi TT RS Coupe has a base MSRP of $64,900 and competes directly with BMW M2 and the Porsche 718 Cayman S Coupe. Only a 2.5L turbocharged Inline-5 engine is offered, mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Together, they produce 400 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 3.6 seconds, the TT RS maintains a combined fuel economy of 22 MPG. Audi offers the TT RS in 10 stunning colors, with the Tango Red Metallic being a particular favorite of ours. 

Buying Advice

As we all know, the TT RS is a high-performance model of the already powerful TT Coupe. With added power and features, opting in for the optional Technology Package ($3,500) and the Dynamic Plus Package ($6,000) is certainly going to add to the overall experience.
