Explore the 2019 Audi TT RS in Photos

<p>That bulk equates to pretty-boy muscles and nothing that will make the 400-hp TT RS accelerate or corner any faster-not that we were asking for more.</p>

<p>In <a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/comparison-test/a18237434/audi-tt-rs-vs-porsche-718-cayman-s-comparison-test/" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:C/D's most recent test;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link "><em>C/D</em>'s most recent test</a>, the 2018 TT RS shot to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds, clawed to the pavement at 1.05 g, and destroyed an equally high-priced Porsche Cayman S while making superior music from its 2.5-liter turbo inline-five.</p>

<p>All the 2019 changes are entirely visual, such as wider outer air intakes that aren't actually wider. The separate brake-cooling duct now blends into the black trim as one gaping piece, while Audi cut new holes into the inner portion.</p>

<p>With the Black Optic package, Audi will now black out the four rings and the model badge on the front and rear. Matrix LED headlights (those camera-controlled, fully adaptive units made less adaptive for the U.S. market) are a new option. </p>

The 2019 Audi TT RS Gets Some New Colors and Air Scoops, Starts at $67,895

<p>Three flashier exterior colors join the palette: Turbo Blue, Pulse Orange, and our <a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a22729379/2019-audi-rs5-sportback-high-performance-hatchback-first-drive/" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:favorite, Kyalami Green;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">favorite, Kyalami Green</a>, which Audi has been kind enough to spray on all of our RS5 test cars. </p>

<p>Finally, the side mirrors can be ordered in body color or covered in carbon fiber as opposed to just silver or gloss black.</p>

<p>Inside, an upgraded RS Design package brightens the all-black cabin with red or blue accents within the air vents and on the seatbelts, floor mats, and (for more money) on the seat frames and center console.</p>

<p>The gear selector for the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission continues to trick onlookers into believing it's a stick, which is not a real thing on this TT RS. </p>

<p>The roadster is very real, but it's still not coming here.</p>

<p>Pricing, which should hover near the $65,875 that Audi asks for the current car, will be announced closer to the New York auto show in April.</p>

Minor exterior and interior updates for the world's only five-cylinder sports car in production.
