New Sport Audi TT RS

Audi’s technical development department TE (“Tech Recess Entwicklung”) has amused himself with hustrimmaren quattro GmbH and developed a racing version of the TT RS. The background is that you feel pressure from racing enthusiasts to get a (cheaper?) Alternative to R8 LMS. The car is built to participate in 24-hour racing at Nürgburgring after VLN-regulation that exists, or “Veranstaltergemeinschaft Lang Line Trophy Nurburgring” as it’s actually called.

VLN is one of several operators who run the 24-hour race at the Nurburgring and the Audi TT RS SP 4T will be tested during the last two this year, 16 and 30 October. Drivers will be Marc Hennerici and Christopher Mies, who is running for the Austrian Team Raeder Motorsport. Audi and quattro GmbH have tried to keep costs down by using components from R8 LMS and do not alter the wheelbase. However, – as we see – a gauge of substantially broadened by at least said large wheel arch extensions. How much power is picked out of the 2.5-liter turbo fifth grade are not reported but probably put it on a “moderate” level to get good reliability.
