This was Britain's Autocar said the director of powertrain development Wolfgang Hatts Audi (Wolfgang Hatz). Earlier in the Audi reported that the version of the R8 with a ten-motor does not appear in the sale, because the engineers failed to create enough effective cooling system for this unit.

According to the magazine Autocar, the most powerful Audi R8 will be able to accelerate to "hundreds" of less than four seconds and to 160 - in 8.5 seconds. The maximum speed of new items will be more than 320 kilometers per hour. In addition, the German company confirmed the emergence of the fastest TT, which will receive a 2.5-liter gasoline engine produces 340 horsepower. Note also that by appearing before the information was to get new name TTRS, but a source inside the company told Autocar that the machine will be completely different name. This decision was taken due to the fact that the index "RS" in the VW Group may use only Porsche. Audi can also use an index with only a number, for example, RS4 and RS6.
