Audi fans are already getting excited for the upcoming launch of the next-generation Audi TT-RS, slated to emerge in 2013. But we at Circle Audi would like to let those in the Long Beach area in on a little secret. The wait for innovative Audi material might not be that long. No, the automaker hasn't decided to speed up production of the next-gen TT-RS. Instead, it's offering consumers a little something new to chew on in the form of a pumped-up version of the current TT-RS.

Purportedly named the Audi TT-RS Plus, the last take on the current-gen model will be enhanced with greater power, less weight and an even sportier edge. While zooming down the highway (at a safe, law-friendly speed of course), a renovated version of the classic 2.5-liter, five-cylinder Turbo engine will pump out an additional 20-hp giving the TT-RS Plus a total output of 380-hp. The tricked-out powertrain will effortlessly propel a much lighter, 3,168-lb body.

In addition to more punch and fewer pounds, we have a pretty good feeling that the revamped Audi model will wear an exclusive, two-tone colored shell. Why do we think this? Well, if you haven't noticed, interior alterations to the TT-RS bear a strong parallel to those of the 2005 Audi TT Quattro Sport. Taking this into consideration, it's not a long shot to imagine that similarities will extend to the exterior as well.

Though Audi has not yet pinned down exact production plans for the TT-RS Plus, you can be sure that Circle Audi will share any new information as it comes in.
