For $2,800 you get the Audi smartphone interface with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility that, by and large, negates the need for a built-in GPS. Our TT-RS came fitted with the optional and pricey Technology package. The 'Design selection' package is available in either red or blue and it costs a hefty $1,150. You can choose the color of the stitching inside the car and ours came with red stitching to match the red 'Design selection' interior trim option that adds red accents on air vents, center console, front seats, and front seatbelts, as well as more leather in places like the armrests and the center console. You'll notice the RS badge is just about anywhere inside the TT-RS including on the gear knob, the floor mats, the door sills, the digital gauges, and on the steering wheel. The seats, since we've mentioned them once before, are wrapped in Nappa leather with honeycomb stitching and RS embossing. All you get in the middle of the dash are a few buttons and three big, circular air vents. There's no added infotainment screen on top of the dash or within the center console anywhere. For starters, the analog binnacle in older TTs has been ditched in favor of Audi's fancy Virtual Cockpit digital display but that's about it. It doesn't feel cramped inside, the S sport front seats offer plenty of side bolstering, and the dash offers a nice mixture of new and old school goodness. Yep, if you want a properly loud exhaust on your TT-RS you'll have to pay an extra two grand. The main benefit of the sport exhaust is the ability to set the sound of the exhaust into 'Sport Mode' or, in other words, loud mode. In this regard, you can get the 20-inch rims if you go for the $2,000 Dynamic Package that also includes 255/30 performance tires and a sport exhaust system with black muffler tips. Now, while these seven-spoke ones don't look nearly as good, they're a clear improvement over the standard, 19-inch five-spoke rims that are too tame for the character of this car.
Sadly, the multi-piece 20-inch wheels with a silver outline available on the TT-S are not available on the RS for whatever reason. You can also go for one of a myriad of Audi special paints but you'll have to fork out an extra $3,900 if you reckon your TT-RS deserves a truly special paint job.

Only Kyalami Green, Nardo Grey, Pulse Orange, and Turbo Blue are available free of charge - in other words, only the four non-metallic tints. Talking about colors, our RS was painted in Tango Red Metallic, a $595 option. The latter adds all the blacked-out accents we've talked about before and some more like the black side skirts on the otherwise body-painted rocker panels (without the 'Black Optic' package, your TT will come with the silver accents in the places ours is black). With the way the hood actually comes hovering over that area, it makes you think there's some sort of an inlet there but there isn't, it's just more intricate surfacing from Audi. The headlights, angled down to exaggerate the way the grille protrudes forward, actually form a triangle in the top outer corner between the outer edges of the grille and the light cluster itself. In the front, the hexagonal grille with its black, hexagonal mesh (but a differently shaped hexagon with the pair angled sides of equal lengths, while the grille itself features much longer angled sides in its lower extremity) dominates everything. In fact, the whole face of the TT-RS is all about pointy edges and straight surfaces, an interesting juxtaposition given the roundness of the body and wheel arches. The singleframe grille isn't as broad as on some sedans and then there are also the humongous side inlets as well as the protruding lower lip, and the way the hood cuts in over the nose, making the headlights look extra pointy. Pricing for our tester, as you see it here, was $77,490. If we had tried a top speed run, we would have been limited to 155 mph (we didn’t break the highway speed limit, though) however, if you’re willing to pay for it, you could get that limit raised to 174 mph.
The AWD was nice and, despite Audi’s claims of a 3.7-second sprint to 60 mph, we actually clocked the same run somewhere in the high-3.5 to low-3.6 range on multiple occasions.
We really wish we had a six-speed manual, but unfortunately, the best we could ask for was the seven-speed automatic. Under the hood sits Audi’s classic 2.5-liter inline-five with 400 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. Honestly, it was probably a combination of all three, but we were so mesmerized by the crispness of the Audi virtual cockpit it was hard to look away. Maybe it’s the honeycomb inserts on the seats, the low seating position, or the material on the flat-bottom steering wheel. The interior design of the TT-RS just screams performance and, at times, we almost felt like we were driving a Porsche.
