The TT RS put Audi's 2.5L turbocharged five-cylinder into its most compact and focused package. The first-generation U.S. cars were manual-only, a rarity for the brand, while the second generation paired 394 hp with a rapid-fire dual-clutch. With TT production now ended, the RS versions stand as the collectible high-water mark of the nameplate.
