Other upgrades over the standard TT, include a revised suspension that lowers the TT RS by 10mm and new 19-inch wheels or 20-inch forged lightweight wheels. Carbon-fiber ceramic discs are also available. The TT RS is also the first production model to get Matrix OLED technology in the rear lights as an option. The OLED lights emit an extremely homogeneous, high-contrast light that can be continuously dimmed, but at the same time do not cast any shadows or require any reflectors.
The TT RS will stand out from the standard TT thanks to its large air inlets, a newly designed honeycomb grille and quattro logo, a fixed rear wing and two large, oval exhaust tailpipes.
