Geneva show: Audi TT RS

Power. It's the one thing we didn't already know about the Audi TT RS. But thanks to the magic of Geneva hob-nobbing, we've just got the answers.

The coupe? 0-100km/h in 4.6 seconds. The roadster? 4.7 seconds. And they both have 253kW. Headline-grabbing stuff then.

They'll have an all-new engine too - a 2.5-litre five-cylinder petrol, which harks back to the quattros of yesteryear. This one's slightly more modern though, and is actually half an RS6 engine, which itself is derived from a Lamborghini unit. Think of your TT RS as a quarter-Lambo, then.

The order books will be opened in March and deliveries will start in the summer.
