Agreed. I was convinced the TT RS would have taken the crown in that test.

Was being serious. They will use the 1.8L Turbo engine from the Polo GTI.

Watched Extra Gear 207. Harris took the TT RS around the track & he is a fan of the engine. In his view it's one of the best production engines around & pretty much makes the car.
He is not a fan of the Haldex 4WD system though.
Between this & the 718 Cayman S he would go for the 718 Cayman but ultimately he would go for the last of the line Cayman GTS with the 6-cylinder motor.

Can't find the thread but I thought Ferrari won the engine award again?

Ferrari did for overall but Audi won the 2L to 2.5L category.

Audi TT RS performance parts
Even more distinctive, sportier and faster: The new Audi Sport performance parts take dynamic handling to a wholly new level for the Audi R8 sports car and the Audi TT. The retrofit range will be available in dealers in late summer 2017 and features numerous components.
"With the Audi Sport Performance Parts we are tapping into a new business segment," says Stephan Winkelmann, Managing Director of Audi Sport GmbH. "Our wealth of experience garnered over many years of building sports cars is incorporated into every component we offer. Along with our expertise from motor racing, which is still the best test bed for volume production."
As part of the sales launch of the retrofit range in late summer 2017, the product lineup will initially be available in Germany and other markets for the current Audi R8 and Audi TT models (TT, TTS and TT RS) only. Additional model series will follow gradually. The Audi Sport performance parts cover four areas to date: suspension, exhaust system, exterior and interior.
For suspension requirements, the range covers sport brake linings, which are more powerful and less prone to fading than standard brake linings. Linings are available for steel discs and for the optional ceramic brakes. Their carrying plates are painted in fluorescent red and are made out of ultralight titanium on the Audi R8, making this model a kilogram (2.2 lb) lighter overall.
Steel front brake discs with multiple bolt mountings are available for the Audi TT RS. Various brake cooling kits can be obtained for the Audi TT, TTS and TT RS. They help the compact athlete achieve even better braking performance.
A two- or three-way coilover suspension is available for the Audi TT models and both Audi R8 variants. The fully milled, black 20-inch wheels - for all R8 and TT models too - are also taken straight from motor racing. They reduce weight by up to 7.2 kilograms (15.9 lb) on the Audi TT and up to 8 kilograms (17.6 lb) on the Audi R8. The associated sport tires come in the sizes 245/30 R20 (R8, front) and 305/30 R20 (R8, rear); 255/30 R20 tires are fitted all round on the Audi TT. For the TT coupés with quattro drive, the retrofit range includes a cross-member reinforcement bar on the rear axle. It improves rigidity and makes handling even more precise. Audi TT RS owners can also subsequently increase their car's top speed to 280 km/h (174.0 mph).
The specialist supplier of exhaust systems, Akrapovic d.d., has designed a sonorous, ultralight muffler made of titanium including trims specifically for the Audi TTS and the Audi TT RS.
The most spectacular offers in the Audi Sport performance parts are the Aero kits, which were developed in the Audi wind tunnel. For the Audi R8 and the Audi TT they add clear-cut highlights on the front air inlets, the side sills and the diffuser. They also substantially improve downforce: On the Audi R8 the downforce is 250 kg (551.2 lb) at 330 km/h (205.1 mph), an increase of over 100 kg (220.5 lb). The effect at 150 km/h (93.2 mph) is even more pronounced - the downforce is doubled at this speed to 52 kg (114.6 lb) thanks to the Aero kit. There is also a splitter and flics at the front as well as a large fixed rear wing. An engine hood with large air vent is also available for the Audi TT. All parts are made out of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) for the Audi R8 and for the Audi TT out of CFRP and plastic; all of them feature the Audi Sport logo.
Attractive parts for the interior round off the range. A sport contour steering wheel with multifunction plus is available for the Audi R8 and for the Audi TT; its Alcantara-trimmed rim features a red 12 o'clock marking. CFRP shift paddles are available for the models fitted with seven-speed S tronic. Audi Sport has developed a strut cross brace specifically for the TT - also made out of CFRP. It replaces the rear seats, reduces the weight by some 20 kilograms (44.1 lb) and enhances the torsional rigidity. The brace improves handling particularly when cornering at speed.

Audi reveals performance parts for R8 and TT
The current Audi R8 and TT RS too tame in the looks department for you? Fear not, as Audi has revealed a range of performance parts for both coupes, consisting of rather aggressive respective aero kits.
Also included it this catalogue of retrofit parts are interior, suspension and exhaust upgrades. For now available exclusively for the R8 and TT RS, Audi says other cars in its line-up will eventually also gain this treatment option.
Developed in Audi’s wind tunnel, the aero kit consisting of a carbon fibre-reinforced polymer front splitter with “flics”, a massive fixed wing and upgraded aft diffuser. On the R8, for example, this kit is said to offer an additional 100 kg worth of downforce, compared with the standard car, at 330 km/h.
Completing the package is a set of race-inspired 20-inch alloy wheels that shave more than 7 kg from the overall mass of each model.
Both interior treatments gain flat-bottomed Alcantara steering wheels with carbon fibre shift paddles. TT RS owners will also have the option to remove their rear seats in favour of a weight-saving cross-member strut brace for improved torsional rigidity.
The performance parts catalogue also includes more powerful and durable brake linings, two different coil-over suspensions setup options and an Akrapovic exhaust system.
Audi says that the performance parts catalogue will be released by the end of the third quarter of this year. Local availability is under consideration.
