Superior performance, stylish understatement, refined equipment and fittings, and a high degree of everyday practicality: the Audi S models combine all these attributes to create perfectly harmonized concepts. All of them feature quattro permanent all-wheel drive as standard equipment, which perfectly transfers the power to the road.
Since 1994 the RS models, with their immensely powerful engines and quattro permanent all-wheel drive, have formed the dynamic spearhead of the Audi model program. Presented by AUDI AG subsidiary quattro GmbH, they are consistently sporty in design and performance.
Audi S5 Cabriolet
The A5 Cabriolet is a soft top that successfully combines sportiness, elegance and performance, setting a new benchmark in the B Cabriolet Segment of the market. A key selling point of the Audi Cabriolet is its design, giving it all the essential ingredients of the Audi brand due to its decidedly sporty appeal and compelling, dynamic silhouette, whether the hood is up or down.
To further capitalize on the success of the A5 Cabriolet, we are pleased to announce the launch of the S5 Cabriolet quattro S tronic. This exciting flagship features the new 3.0 V6T FSI engine which will further enhance the sporty positioning of the A5 Cabriolet range.

Audi TT RS Coupe
The TT RS is the first sports car in the Audi RS family to consistently utilise the pure essence of technology gathered from Audi’s many motorsport successes. Engines with five cylinders are in Audi’s DNA. With the newly developed 2.5i five cylinder turbocharged engine coupled with quattro four wheel drive the TT RS produces the ultimate blend of sportiness, dynamism and performance from the immense power potential of a completely new engine featuring advanced FSI petrol direct injection and a potent turbocharger.

Audi TT RS Coupe 2.5T FSI quattro manual R693,000
The TT RS is the new flagship of the TT range and will serve as a brand builder as well as have a halo effect on the entire range.
It generates 250 kW and 450 Nm of torque between 1,600 and 5,300 rpm – yet its average fuel consumption is just 9.2 litres per 100 km. The TT RS Coupé rockets from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds and is governed at a top speed of 250 km/h.
The five-cylinder TFSI delivers its output from a displacement of 2,480 cm3; its specific output is 137.1 hp per litre. The large turbocharger generates up to 1.2 bar of relative boost pressure; the intercooler achieves thermal efficiency above 80 percent. When the driver pushes the Sport button, a flap installed in the left exhaust tailpipe renders the exhaust noise even more intense and the engine’s responsiveness is boosted further. A manual six-speed transmission with a sportily narrow spread of the gear ratios delivers torque to the quattro permanent all-wheel drive.
The power-to-weight ratio of the TT RS Coupé – which weighs in at a mere 1,450 kilograms – is just 4.3 kilograms per hp. These low figures are due primarily to the extremely lightweight body constructed as per the Audi Space Frame (ASF) principle – made of aluminum in the front and of sheet steel in the rear.
The Audi TT RS features 18-inch wheels fitted with 245/40 tyres. The ventilated disc brakes measure 370 millimeters in diameter in the front and 310 millimeters in the rear. Black four-piston brake calipers bearing RS logos keep the friction rings in place. The electronic stabilization program (ESP) has a sport mode and can be switched off partially or entirely. The sports suspension lowers the vehicle body by 10 millimeters. Adaptive shock-absorber technology, Audi magnetic ride, is available optionally.
Audi TT RS Coupe Product Highlights:
- New 2.5T FSI 5 cylinder engine producing maximum power of 250 kW and maximum Torque of 450 Nm.
- Striking TT RS styling cues and enhanced driving dynamics
- Electronic stabilization programme (ESP) with 2 stage de-activation.
- Aerodynamic and lightweight design due to Audi Space Frame body shell.
- 18” high performance braking system standard
- Sporty 19” alloy wheels available as an option
The Audi TT RS is fitted with a high level of standard specification including:
- Fixed TT RS rear wing type spoiler
- Dual branch exhaust system with oval tail pipe on left and right
- Striking diffuser insert at rear
- 18” 5 twin spoke design alloy wheel with size 245/40 R18 tyres
- TT RS flat bottomed multi function sports steering wheel
- Driver info system with TT RS menu (boost pressure, oil temp, lap timer)
- Park Distance control in the rear
- Bose sound system
- Satellite Navigation with TT RS welcome screen
- Cell phone preparation (Bluetooth)
- Interior lighting package, LED
Electronic Stability Programme (ESP)
The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) with two-stage de-activation provides for maximum dynamic performance. The active increase in performance is controlled at the touch of a button when the first stage (sport mode) is activated, the traction control system (ASR), which controls engine intervention, is disabled. This results in the ESP control threshold being raised and the intervention then follows at a later stage, with the vehicle always fully under control. When the second stage is activated, the ESP is completely disabled.
High Performance Braking System
The counterpart to superior acceleration and agile driving dynamics is deceleration at the highest level, which is delivered by the high performance braking system. Excellent deceleration values and extreme stability even under constant load characterise this braking system:
- 18-inch brake system with large brake discs: disc diameter 370 mm at front and 310 mm at rear.
- Impressive build up of braking power through 4 piston brake callipers based on the fixed calliper principle at the front axle.
- Improved cooling effect thanks to ventilated brake discs.
- Brake discs on the front wheels additionally feature axial perforations and are of a composite design: the aluminium cover and cast steel friction ring save weight and serve to counteract deformation under high temperatures.
quattro Drive Train
The latest generation of the tried and tested quattro permanent four-wheel drive system has been adapted for an even better response to dynamic driving situations:
- Differences in speed between the front and rear wheels are balanced swiftly and precisely.
- The control electronics of the electro hydraulic multi-plate clutch take into account the various driving conditions.
- Direct drive for front wheels is via a differential gear, the multi-plate clutch controls the torque for the rear wheels.
- Map control for the multi-plate clutch facilitates extremely fast torque build up and ensures excellent directional stability in bends and when driving in a straight line.
