so what engine is it now exactly? Inline 5 cylinder or something?

this is from edmunds.com

Early rumors suggested a turbocharged five-cylinder, but the recent introduction of Audi's new 3.0-liter TFSI V6 suggests otherwise.

Audi's new V6 3.0TFSI supercharged engine is for longitudinal use only.
It will not fit transverse in the TT body, and longitudinal only with major engine compartment changes.
I'm not sure Audi/Quattro GmbH will do that for ± 3 years of running time.

Looking good...

The new details are reputed to originate in a leaked Audi memo to its dealers in Germany, and though it's unofficial, the figures appear to add up. Both the roadster and the coupe will feature the same power output, quattro AWD and a six-speed transmission - though it's not yet clear if it will be a dual-clutch unit or a traditional manual. Other features listed include 18" aluminum wheels with dual five-spoke design, twin-exit oval exhaust pipes, a fixed wing, matte aluminum headlight housings, and a unique interior with Alcantara and leather.

According to the memo, both variants of the car are scheduled for German launch in the third quarter of 2009, and each dealership will be initially allocated just one of either the Coupe or Roadster variants.The car was originally thought to be launched at the end of this year but its release date has since been pushed back because of the extra time required to further develop and test its all-new engine. Audi is also looking to use the same engine in a new RS variant of the A3 hatch as well. This model is expected to arrive soon after the launch of the TT-RS.

The new engine will feature an inline-five design and is said to be only 6cm wider than the current four-cylinder 2.0L TFSI mill. This is because of the relatively small cylinder size of the new engine, which will reportedly total just 2.5L in displacement.

While the RS3 remains hidden, the upcoming TT-RS and its Cabrio variant have been spotted in prototype form testing at Germany’s Nurburgring. Although engineers were using a TT-S shell for the coupe, key features such as the oversized cross-drilled brake discs, upgraded calipers, electronically controlled rear-spoiler and carbon-fiber elements suggest the test car is an even sportier model. The TT-RS Cabrio is believed to be closer to the car's final look, though it too remains in developmental status for the present.

WorldCarFans.com has received from a reliable source a copy of a letter from Audi to its German dealers which includes more details of the upcoming Audi TT RS.

The Audi TT RS will feature a new 5 cylinder, 2.5 liter TFSI mated to a 6-speed transmission churning out a remarkable 340 hp and 450 Nm of torque. The new engine will make the TT RS one of the most fuel efficient sportscars around. Audi claims its direct-injection FSI technology will keep consumption under 10 liter/100km while still making the car capable of doing 0-100km in 4.5 seconds.

The exterior will come with front air intakes, 18" aluminium wheels and two twined, oval shaped exhausts pipes at the back. Interior design will be pure RS - with RS insignia on the instrument panel and the onboard computer menu. The cabin remains classic Audi metallic-themed with aluminium air vents against a black dashboard. The TT RS comes with Alcantara/leather sports seats with a distinguishing silver stitching.

The RS version of the TT will also be available as either a coupe or roadster. No details on pricing are available yet.

The TT RS is expected to be launched in the third quarter of 2009.

Will it have the S-tronic gearbox or a manual only?

I understand S-Tronic will be an option, but I don't know if it'll be six or seven speed.

I was riding behing a orange TT-S yesterday..and it was the first time I saw one live.. OMG what a phat car. The TT-RS is going to kill!

And no photos ??

YOU @$$

Audi has confirmed that the TT-RS will debut in Geneva in March!!

That looks great

A few days ago I tried TT S with Stronic and I really like it. It drives very good, and looks much better than regular TT - different bumpers, grill and other styling parts makes TT much more aggressive looking car.

Very hard decision what to order, new Z4 or this TT ....
