The
European version that we sampled almost two years ago made 340 hp from
its turbocharged 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine. Much to our surprise
and thrill, Audi says it’s pushing for U.S. cars to make about 20 more
ponies for a total of around 360 hp. We asked where the extra power is
coming from and were told it’s mainly from ECU tuning, so presumably the
Euro cars could be updated as well.
Only
a few options will be offered on the limited run of less than 1000
cars. As of now, an exterior package featuring silver accents on the
lower front and rear valance (matching the mirror caps) is planned, as
is a Titanium pack bundling a blacked-out grille and trim with
titanium-colored wheels, much like what is currently available on the
A4, A5, S4, and S5. A sport exhaust option will provide a rowdier note
from that already sweet sounding five. Those not in favor of the RS’s
rear spoiler can opt for a factory delete.
