Watch Audi TT RS Roadster Hit Its 173-MPH Top Speed In Autobahn Run

It wasn’t much of a shock when Audi announced that the TT was dead after 2023 in the US. The brand’s boss suggested in 2019 that the two-door model’s future was already in doubt. The car retains the original’s sporty quirkiness and packs quite the performance punch as it prepares to leave the automotive stage. A new video captures the Audi TT RS Roadster reaching its top speed on the German Autobahn.

The Audi TT RS Roadster uses the brand’s turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-five engine. It makes 400 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque that is pumped to all four wheels. The convertible can reach 62 miles per hour in just 3.9 seconds. It has an official top speed of 155 miles per hour but an option can increase that to 173 mph. However, the video shows the speedometer reading a bit more than that – 290 kph, which is 180 mph.
