When the next Audi TT RS arrives in the U.S. in 2017 (and earlier elsewhere), it will be so advanced that you won’t even have the option of “shifting gears” in a “manual” fashion.
Isn’t it nice of Audi to make that decision for us? Decisions — like coordination — are pretty difficult, after all.
Car & Driver is reporting the TT RS won’t be available with a manual gearbox. At all. Anywhere. Instead, the sole cog-swapper will be of the DSG variety with seven forward ratios. That’s interesting considering the current car was a manual-only affair in the U.S. If you wanted an automatic, you were forced to step down to the lesser S model.
The new TT RS is expected to arrive with 400 horsepower, an improvement over the current car’s 360 horses, by way of another turbocharged, 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine.
