The cost of the car, which will be available in coupe and convertible forms, will start at €83,000, with road tax in Band F.
The TTRS is powered by a new 2.5 5-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, which allows a 0-100 km sprint of 4.6 seconds for the coupe.
The new car is the first compact sports car from Audi to carry the RS badging.
Although not planned as a big seller in Ireland, Audi Ireland's Deputy Director John Hayes says 'there are always enthusiasts' for such a car.
"It will also have a tremendous 'halo' effect on the whole Audi range," he added.
