Games
Need for Speed: Nitro
The TT RS appears as a class A car in Need for Speed: Nitro. It is rated 4 in speed; 3 in both acceleration and strength; and 2 in both handling and drifting.
A TT RS with a unique livery can be unlocked as a Collectable Car for use in both Arcade Mode and Career Mode, once the player finishes the Gold Cup Grand Prix in 3rd place.
Need for Speed: World
The TT RS was added to Need for Speed: World on February 2, 2011 as a tier 2 vehicle. Since August 22, 2012, it has been featured as a C class vehicle.
The acceleration of the TT RS is among the best compared to the rest of the C class. It does however come at the expense of a unresponsive handling, which is due to the heavy mass of the vehicle. The car has a good nitrous boost and can reach a top speed of 160 mph (258 km/h).

Its lightweight composition helps its initial acceleration, which is faster than most Performance class cars such as the Maserati GranTurismo S, although reaching its top speed of 185 mph (298 km/h) takes notably longer to reach. It is capable of exiting corners quickly, although its handling is more suited for short drifting manoeuvres. It is also very durable.
