Audi TTS Raises the But in Proportion Sports Car Performance.


If a boat has evoked the word quot; cute quot; and so much besides the Audi TT, I can’t make me. In fact, the TT has actually been a grind of sports cars–self consciously unintimidating day and part the spirit of, say, a Porsche Boxster or a Honda S2000. Perhaps it was cute. When i was also wimpy.

So i reaches its Tenth anniversary, Audi has finally bestowed on the, well, charming roadster the sports car character it has lacked.

The TTS, so be unveiled at the North American International Auto Show at Detroit next week, tweaks the 2. 0-liter 4 cylinder turbocharged powertrain in form 272 hp and 258 lb-ft on stone. Low stone is off between sweet places of 2500 and 5000 rpm on the dial. In other words, you must require the even more giddyap for charging onto freeway onramps and cut by deep backroad twisties.

In bed the further and say, Audi reconfigured the engine block, cylinder head, pistons, neighboring roads and turbocharger. The TTS now flies from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 5. 4 bright as the coupe and 5. 6 bright as the roadster, which puts i like about the Honda and the Porsche.

The US version gets only the S-tronic dual-clutch gearbox.

The TTS suspension uses Audi’s adaptive substantial dampening system, one in 18-inch wheels 19-inch versions are available. Audi also adds a day climbing down to the car’s electronic cool place. A let fall? Look for pricing for home in the 60, 000 ballpark. Honda’s roadster costs more than 20, 000 less and may do 60 mph even as close.
