Watch Jason Statham Driving Audi TT RS at Le Mans

A touch of Hollywood at Le Mans: action hero Jason Statham was able to were given an opportunity to personally try out the new Audi TT RS and take a seat next to Mattias Ekström in the Audi S1. Another guest at the Audi Sport Team Joest was Brad Pit, who had the opportunity of an exclusive glimpse behind the scenes.

Audi TT RS

Audi includes all the modern performance upgrades in its arsenal to make the TT RS one wicked sports coupe. The 2.5-liter turbo five makes 400 hp and drives all four wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic; we estimate a 0-60 time of 3.6 seconds. Steering-wheel-mounted ignition and drive-mode selector switches, a fixed rear wing, gaping front intakes, and large oval-shaped tailpipes separate the RS from other TTs. The coupe (not roadster) comes to the U.S. in the early summer of 2017.
