What’s better than a 360-horsepower Audi TT RS? Well, not a whole heck of a lot, as we recently found while test-driving the pint-sized beast on American soil. But how about a TT RS Plus with more power and less weight? Now that’s the ticket.
Rumors pouring in from overseas suggest that Audi is preparing to upgrade the coupe’s 2.5-liter turbo five to 385 horsepower and removing some 130 pounds worth of extra weight – like the rear seats, for a start. Given that the current version already runs the 0-60 in 4.1 seconds, dropping that time into the threes wouldn’t be out of the question.
Of course with the TT RS still making its way to these shores, we wouldn’t hold our breath for the Plus version. One supercar-trouncing super-coupe at a time, right?
