Audi’s sports car gets a new performance leader

14 Jan 2008

AUDI has taken the wraps off a new high-performance TT series range-topper in the form of the TTS – and it will come to Australia in the third quarter this year, just in time for summer.

With more boost and beefed-up internals, Audi 2.0-litre TFSI engine in the TTS ramps up to 200kW of power and 350Nm of torque.

Even in detuned ‘hot weather’ trim, the 197kW output of Australian-spec car will still put it 50kW up on the regular turbocharged TT and 13kW up on the 3.2-litre V6 version.

7 center imagePerformance is consequently better, with the TTS coupe racing from 0-100km/h in 5.2 seconds compared with 5.7s for the V6 and 6.6 for the regular turbo.

Unveiled at the Detroit motor show in both coupe and convertible guises, the Audi TTS is distinguished by new bi-xenon headlights with a strip of white LED daylight running lights similar to those introduced on the A5/S5, and also a revised nose with bigger air intakes and a chrome-embellished platinum grille.

The new all-wheel drive range-toppers are expected to be priced around $100,000 in Australia.
