Audi TT-RS
RS suffix despite Porsche's protest. 
Let's see. The TT-S has 270+hp, so 300+ is a safe bet?
Reportedly, 2.5L TFSI 5-cyl making 340hp and 332lb ft of torque.
0-62 in 4.5sec?

I think this will be more attractive than the V10 R8 itself

is this thing still FWD? and if so... can you imagine the ugly torque steer and immense understeer the thing will have with more than 250hp at the front wheels?

Modern fwd cars can handle more than 250 hp whitout those problems and the new ford focus rs will have 300+ hp 
Whit the rights suspension setup and electronics everything is possible
I like the new tt-rs

Why would it be FWD when the TT-S is AWD? It is AWD but the question remains as to whether or not they are going to use the 4th gen Haldex system found in Saab's which have torque vectoring, like Acura's SHAWD.
