According to AutoExpress, the TTRS will be powered by a 2.5-litre five-cylinder turbo engine mated with a six-speed manual gearbox or DSG paddleshift.

The 0 to 60 mph sprint will be made in just 5 seconds and even if it will be capable of much more, Audi will limit the TTRS’s top speed to 155mph to differentiate it from the 187mph supercar.
