Exciting new Audi TTS on its way
Audi will launch a new TTS sports car this year which will take over the top slot in its popular TT model line-up. The model range and the pricing will only be made known closer to the introduction of the new range.
The unveiling of the TTS will mark something of an anniversary for Audi: It was 10 years ago that the TT Coupe first took to the road, swiftly acquiring the status of a design icon. Ever since then the TT has been going from one strength to the next, in both hard-top and open-top form.
The TTS will be fitted with a 1.9-litre direct injection turbocharged petrol that pushes out 200kW and 350Nm. Audi says the Coupe version with manual transmission takes just 5.4 seconds from 0-100km/h with the Roadster just 0.2-seconds slower.
Fuel consumption for both models is given as about 8 litres per 100km.
TTS drivers will have a push-button choice of suspension settings: “Standard” mode for a well-balanced, comfortable ride, and “Sport” for more dynamic handling.
In terms of stand-out looks, the TTS has 18-inch aluminium wheels and newly designed bi-xenon light units with LED daytime running lights.
Transmission choices are between a manual six-speed gearshift or S tronic, which operates using six gears and two clutches positioned one behind the other and all models are armed with Audi's highly rated quattro permanent all-wheel drive.
A nice feature on the new TTS is a spoiler which extends automatically when the speed reaches 120km/h and retracts when it drops back to 80km/h.
The cabin will boast snazzy sports seats, a driver information system with new, high-resolution white display which even includes a timer function that is able to record lap times on race tracks, as well as a top-of-the-range audio system.
