Audi’s TT RS is a pocket-sized supercar slayer as finds

Under the bonnet of the TT RS is a lightened (26kg lighter), retuned 2.5litre four-cylinder petrol engine that produces 394bhp.

That prodigious power gives the range-topping TT a 0-62mph time that’s quick enough to give R8 drivers a scare.

Peak torque, a generous 354lbft, is available from as little as 1,700rpm.

The Haldex four-wheel drive system can alter the torque split based on which drive mode has been selected, sending up to 100 per cent of the power to the rear wheels if necessary, while torque vectoring by braking allows for even finer adjustments on a wheel to wheel basis.

The RS sits 10mm lower than the standard TT and the spring rates, bushes, stability control and steering have all been tuned
