Book A Test Drive
Audi is celebrating 40 years of its advanced Quattro all-wheel drive system with an impressive special edition model that, although isn’t available in Canada, is certainly worth noting.
The special edition Audi TT RS features a special white paint, special decals, and special white wheels. The special design and graphics are inspired by the Quattro rally cars of the 1980 and the hood vent, front splitter, front canards, side skirts, rear diffuser, and a very large rear wing. Powering the special TT RS is a turbocharged 2.5-litre, five-cylinder that delivers 394 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. That’s enough power to reach 100 km/h in under 4.0 seconds, making the TT RS one of quickest cars on the road.
The key of this special edition TT RS is the Quattro system. The Quattro system is one of the most advanced all-wheel drive systems, particularly the Quattro Ultra system which sends power to all four wheels as needed and when needed. Quattro Ultra delivers the same level of high performance that the traditional Quattro system delivers, but with improved efficiency.
The system will disconnect the rear axle if road conditions are clear and you don’t need the increased traction of all-wheel drive. In doing so, the system reduces fuel consumption while offering impressive stability. When there’s snow on the road, when you’re taking a corner, or when you need to exit a snowbank, the Quattro Ultra system sends all the power the wheels that need it, guaranteeing impressive traction.
In other words, Quattro Ultra ensures that you have traction when you need it, but the highest level of efficiency when you don’t need it.
