Just when you think an Audi TT RS can't get any better, a 'plus' edition turns up and bends your perception of what is good and what is really good. When we say really good, we mean blisteringly fast, outstandingly fun and unmatched in terms of performance. Whichever 'plus' you might choose, the Coupe or the Roadster, you can't go wrong.
The standard 2.5 TFSI 5-line engine found in the RS is already powerful enough but the 'plus' sees a further power boost from 340 hp to 360 hp. Now an even mor

The Audi R8 GT Spyder is the definition of the word “exclusive”. One will be surprised to find that there are only 333 of these hand-built masterpieces around the world (only 50 in the US). And much like the R8 GT Coupe, the Spyders also have a number system on the gearstick to tell which is which... which sounds ridiculous yet it makes us want one even more.
Lightweight components of the GT Spyder serve as the technical distinction of the car. The engine frame is constructed of ultra-light
