This Audi TT RS has long stood as a benchmark among compact sports cars. Its instantly recognisable two-seat silhouette and the characterful 2.5-litre, five-cylinder turbocharged engine delivering 400PS straight from the factory cemented its reputation as one of the most thrilling performance coupés and this Audi TTRS For Sale.
But for those who believe that factory performance is only the starting point, ABT Sportsline has rewritten the rulebook. Their most extreme interpretation of Audi’s iconic coupé—the ABT TT RS-R—pushes the envelope of performance, design, and exclusivity to create what can only be described as a genuine supercar slayer.
As one of the UK’s foremost Audi RS specialists, as well being expert moderators on the Audi RS Owners Club forum, the Audi RS3 8Y page and Audi RS6GT owners club page, we know just how special the TTRS-R is, and with our industry-defining preparation and customer service experience, as well as the addition of a selection of bespoke upgrades installed-house, we are confident that this is Audi TTRS For Sale will delight even the most ardent RS connoisseur.
From TT RS to TT RS-R: The ABT Transformation
Even in stock form, the TT RS is a fast and capable car. But ABT Sportsline, Germany’s most respected Audi and VW tuning house, wasn’t content with “fast enough.” Their TT RS-R is limited to just 50 cars worldwide, each built at a cost of over £100,000 when new. It remains the most powerful factory-sanctioned TT ever created.
The original ABT-spec TT RS-R produced 500PS and 570Nm thanks to recalibrated ECU mapping and ABT’s proprietary hardware upgrades. But this specific example, offered by Automotive Addiction, has been taken even further.
Through a carefully engineered MRC Tuning Stage 3 TTRS engine calibration for both the engine and gearbox, along with supporting upgrades such as an APR intake system and Forge turbo elbow, this TT RS-R now delivers a staggering 591PS and 738Nm of torque.
That’s nearly 200PS more than the factory TTRS and puts this compact coupé in the performance company of bona fide supercars.
Aggressive Styling, Motorsport Pedigree
Visually, the ABT TT RS-R makes its intentions clear before you even start the engine. The car wears an extensive carbon-fibre aero package, including:
- Redesigned front spoiler and grille frame with red TT RS-R insignia
- Sculpted front flics and canards
- Extended side skirts for increased stance and airflow control
- A distinctive multi-part rear diffuser with RS-R badging
These enhancements aren’t just cosmetic—they optimise aerodynamics, reducing drag while improving stability at speed.
At the rear, a stainless-steel quad-exit exhaust system ensures the sound matches the looks, producing the unmistakable warble and bark that only a five-cylinder turbo can provide.
Completing the aggressive stance are 20-inch ABT SPORT GR alloy wheels finished in gloss black with a diamond-machined flange. Lightweight yet strong, they not only sharpen aesthetics but also reduce unsprung mass for improved driving dynamics.
Exclusive Motorsport-Inspired Interior
Step inside and ABT’s Individual division ensures the cabin feels just as special as the bodywork. Carbon-coated seat panels and dashboard trim add motorsport texture and exclusivity, emphasising the limited-edition nature of the TT RS-R.
This is a cockpit designed not just for speed, but to remind you every mile that you’re sitting in one of only 50 cars in existence.
Handling That Matches the Power
Performance upgrades are not confined to the engine. To ensure the TT RS-R handles as precisely as it accelerates, ABT equipped the chassis with:
- Sports suspension springs
- ABT stabilisers on both axles
These upgrades deliver sharper steering response, flatter cornering and improved stability under load.
This particular example goes further still, with Automotive Addiction’s in-house technical team adding a VBT rear brake upgrade, ARP propshaft bolts, and a Forge dogbone mount insert—all working together to ensure that the car can exploit its monumental power safely and consistently. On top of this, a set of bespoke ABT floor mats and decals were made and fitted, taking this already exclusive machine to even greater heights.
Protected and Preserved
This ABT TTRS-R striking paintwork and carbon aero are comprehensively protected by £5,000 worth of full-car XPEL and STEK self-healing Paint Protection Film (PPF). This ensures the finish remains flawless, safeguarding its future value as a collector-grade car.
