Audi has listened to its fans and plans to bring its new TT RS model to the U.S.

After unveiling the TT RS at the Geneva Auto Show, the German luxury automaker received considerable attention and praise from the automotive press. And no wonder – the RS, a high-performance version of Audi's popular TT coupe, packs a direct-injection turbocharged 2.5-liter five-cylinder screamer that produces 360 horsepower. Considering the light and aerodynamic style of the compact hatchback, that means a zero to sixty time of just 4.6 seconds.

But American fans ready to tear up straightaways were left disappointed, as the model appeared destined to be a European exclusive, as many cars are. Compacts generally sell better in Europe, and though the TT has done well here, the company wasn't sure if it would be welcomed with open arms.

So it turned to its Facebook fans – asking them if they wanted the TT RS in the United States. After 11,500 "likes," the German automaker buckled – the car will make its way stateside after all.

Those looking forward to the TT RS may want to wait until models begin hitting the used market, as all that power will likely come at a premium, which can be mitigated by the lower prices of pre-owned vehicles.
