"The seven-speed is more than willing to downshift as soon as you demand extra power, and the TT RS surges forward with such immediacy and force that you may think you've been sucked into a wormhole." - Car and Driver

Powering our favorite Audi is a 2.5-liter TFSI engine, the 2021 Audi TT RS is priced at $72,500. This 5-pot engine churns out 394 hp of power and 354 lb-ft of torque. In return, you get a breezy sports coupe performance which gives even high-end Porsches a run for their money. The drivetrain is a capable Quattro all-wheel-drive, a unique sub-brand that is a trademark of Audi.

With its precise grip and torque distribution, the Quattro AWD enhances handling on any grim weather day. The Audi TT RS is hooked to a sleek 7-speed auto-shift transmission, which powers the engine with minimum efforts. With an ability to reach the 60 mph mark in just 3.9 seconds the 2021 Audi TT is probably the fastest in its class.

The engine of the 2021 Audi TT RS posted competitive power and torque figures. Still, it fell out compared to Corvette’s class-leading figures of 490 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque. It is pretty much on par the BMW M2 and has more power to offer than the Porsche 718 Cayman. The 2.5-liter TFSI engine of the Audi TT RS has been a fan favorite.

Equally crucial is the braking performance, with a 14.6-inch front caliper and a 12.2-inch rear caliper to stop your car in dire situations. The Audi TT RS’s pace and acceleration reigned at the top of the charts, merely to be beaten by the vigorous Corvette. The Audi TT RS fared poorly, with its braking distance of 154 feet being the lowest in the class.

"Don't let the uncompromising performance fool you; the TT RS's turbo five-cylinder is quite efficient." - Car and Driver

Fuel economy is on every client’s wish list while buying a new car. However, cars in the sports coupe category may leave you hungry for more fuel stops. The Audi TT RS acts no different and has a decent MPG offering as per 2021 official reports from Audi. Still, its MPG numbers are arguably the finest in its class, beating every other competitor. Pair that with a 14.5-gallon tank capacity and you get an impressive range of 275 miles in the city and 429 miles on a highway.

The Corvette has the worst fuel economy in its class but the best range, all thanks to its humongous fuel tank capacity of 18.5 gallons. The Audi TT RS is the most fuel-efficient of the lot, however, its smaller tank means more stops at gas stations. We surprisingly find the beemer with the smallest fuel tank capacity, a mere 13.7 gallons. The gas mileage of the 2021 Porsche 718 Cayman is unknown as of now but based on the previous makes we do believe the gas mileage to be at least about average if not better.

The 2021 Audi TT RS Vs the 2021 BMW M2

The Audi feels much more economical to run in the long run, while the Corvette has a better reliability rating.

The 2021 Audi TT RS vs the 2021  Porsche 718 Cayman

But the Audi TT RS outclasses the 718 on the racing field with its agile speed and acceleration. Both cars have their powerful points.
