Audi TT Overview
The Audi TT is not the most powerful or quickest entry in the compact sports class, but it offers a bubbly driving experience and panache. The car’s standard all-wheel drive and snappy seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox help it get all of its up to 394 horsepower (TT RS model) to the ground. Though there’s more style than raw performance with the TT, it still manages to be a fun-to-drive, responsive car with solid handling.
Audi offers the 2021 TT in three models: The TT Coupe ($50,845), the TT Roadster ($54,945), the sporty TTS Coupe ($60,545) and the top-performing TT RS ($73,545). All prices include a $1045 destination fee.)
The TT Coupe and Convertible come standard with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque and seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The cars also get LED headlights, LED daytime running lights, 18-inch wheels with 245/40 all-season tires, dual-zone climate controls, Nappa leather seats, a Bang & Olufsen sound system, navigation, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Audi virtual cockpit.
The TTS comes with a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine that ekes out an additional 60 horsepower and 22 pound-feet of torque for a total of 288 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. In addition, TTS models come standard with 20-inch wheels, Audi magnetic ride suspension—aka an adaptive suspension—an electric rear spoiler, full LED headlights, and an extended leather package.
The TT RS is a significantly different beast beneath the skin, packing a turbocharged 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine that makes 394 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque and seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. It comes standard with an RS high-gloss front spoiler, a fixed-wing RS rear spoiler, a leather/Alcantara flat-bottom sport steering wheel and Audi Sport carbon fiber inlays.
Again, All TT models come standard with all-wheel drive and a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
