Audi TT Overview
Roadster and the performance-upgraded TTS and TT RS (both available as coupes only). While all of these models are reliably sporty, darting over the road by way of all-wheel drive and, for the most part, a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic and quattro all-wheel drive, the TTS squeezes an extra 72 horsepower out of its powerplant.
But the real flagship of this line is the TT RS, whose monster turbocharged 5-cylinder produces 400 horsepower, and propels it to 60 mph in a claimed 3.6 seconds. Though none of these models are substantially revamped for 2020—and since the current generation of baseline TT landed in 2014, they likely won’t be for at least another year or two—they remain some of the most distinctive luxury sports cars on the market, and a case study in Audi’s sleek, understated take on performance-inspired design.
Trim Specifications
The base TT includes many of the usual features for the segment, including automatic climate control, shift paddles, heated seats, a blend of leather and synthetic leather interior materials and keyless entry and ignition. TTS adds unique front and rear fascia elements, 19-inch 5-spoke wheels, Audi Magnetic Ride adaptive suspension, 12-way power sport seats, enhanced upholstery stitching and more.
The TT RS adds the five-cylinder engine as well as RS-specific exterior elements, including a fixed rear wing and diffuser, oval-shaped exhaust tips and full-leather seating. That said, picking between the upgraded TT trims is a largely linear progression in performance, but all models have packages that upgrade the available wheels, ranging from the 19-inch high-gloss black anthracite wheels in the TT’s $2200 S line competition package to the 20-inch titanium matte finish wheels and summer tires in the TTRS’s $2000 dynamic package that includes an RS-tuned adaptive suspension and steering.
