The small sports car market has got rather busy of late, the Alpine A110, Porsche Cayman T and Toyota Supra all proving you can spend 50 grand or so in very different ways. A great time for Audi to freshen up the TT RS to keep it competitive, then. This is it, the RS gaining a similar set of aesthetic updates to the regular TT. While its 2.5-litre five-cylinder turbo engine makes no more power, at 395bhp, it"s still up considerably on its three freshest rivals, that Supra getting closest with 335bhp. The RS is still endowed with some properly senior performance figures, then, namely 0-62mph in 3.7secs (though probably faster in reality) and a 174mph top speed. You still get a seven-speed paddleshift gearbox and Quattro all-wheel-drive as standard and the usual gamut of driving modes should you want to make a firm-riding car even firmer.
