New Audi TTS

Shortly following the new TT, Audi will also be launching the TTS (combined fuel consumption in l/100 km: 7.3 – 7.1* (32.2 – 33.1 US mpg)*; combined CO₂ emission in g/km: 166 – 161* (267.2 – 259.1 g/mi)) into the new model year. The new seven-speed S tronic, a standard feature, further improves the acceleration values of the Coupé and Roadster. The TTS competition special model presents an especially refined exterior and an exclusive interior.

The new TTS draws attention to its status as a top-of-the-line model in the Audi TT family through sporty design details. Elements in matt aluminum silver shine in the Singleframe grille with TTS badge and matt titanium black insert. The horizontal blade in the bumper is also striking. It turns up at the ends, forming narrow, upright funnels at the same height as the side air inlets. The full-length front splitter, the vertical air inlets and the trim strips are also in aluminum look. Powerfully contoured sills also underscore the sporty character viewed from the sides. The hinted vertical air outlets below the rear lights and the broadened three-dimensional diffuser with the four tailpipes of the exhaust system form particular highlights at the rear.

Audi equips the new TTS with 18-inch wheels. Wheels of sizes 18 and 19 inches as well as exclusive 20-inch wheels from Audi Sport are optionally available. The range of paint finishes contains two new colors: pulse orange and turbo blue.

Numerous details in the driver-oriented interior underscore the sportiness of the new TTS: the additional sport screen in the Audi virtual cockpit, the S sport seats and the colored contrasting stitching.

Power package: the 2.0 TFSI
The 2.0 TFSI outputs 225 kW (306 hp) and develops a maximum torque of 400 Nm (295.0 lb-ft) in the speed range between 2,000 and 5,300 rpm – 20 Nm (14.8 lb-ft) more than on the previous engine. The TTS Coupé accelerates to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in
4.5 seconds (Roadster: 4.8 seconds) – a tenth faster than previously. The top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h (155.3 mph). A gasoline particulate filter is, of course, standard.

The two-liter engine displays its top-performance character in many details. Modified aluminum pistons and high-strength connecting rods transmit the forces to the crankshaft. The crankcase has been reinforced at the main bearing seats and the main bearing cover. The cylinder head is made of a lightweight aluminum-silica alloy with high strength and temperature resistance. The valve springs and seat rings have been modified for the high loads. The large turbocharger can compress up to 960 kilograms (2,116.4 lb) of air per hour at a maximum air pressure or 1.4 bar. The temperature is greatly reduced by an efficient intercooler.

Fast shifting: the new seven-speed S tronic
Thanks to the close-ratio lower gears, the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission allows acceleration values exceeding those of the preceding model. The wide ratio of the highest gear reduces engine speed and with it fuel consumption.

The new Audi TTS comes with quattro permanent all-wheel drive and the Audi magnetic ride controlled shock absorber system as standard features. Other suspension modules include progressive steering, four-link rear suspension and Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC). The wheel-selective torque control is activated in fast cornering and improves handling as necessary by means of precise brake interventions on the unloaded wheels on the inside of a curve.

The lineup of driver assistance systems for the new Audi TTS corresponds to that of the new TT. The systems relieve the driver of work, so that he or she can fully concentrate on the road.

Sporty highlight: “TTS competition” special model
The “TTS competition” special model” (combined fuel consumption in l/100 km: 7.3 – 7.1* (32.2 – 33.1 US mpg); combined CO₂ emissions in g/km: 166 –161* (267.2 – 259.1 g/mi))adds an athletic touch – with LED headlights, Audi rings laminated on the side sills, privacy glazing (Coupé only), a fixed rear wing, red-painted brake calipers, 20-inch wheels in high-gloss black and other exterior details in gloss black. Glacier white, tango red and mythos black are available for the exterior paint finish.

The exclusive interior is impressive with a choice of two leather packages: express red with contrasting stitching in granite gray or ebony with contrasting stitching in express red. The elements of the seat trims and center console accordingly come in chrome paint finish, slate gray or gloss paint finish, tango red. The inside rings of the air vents are painted red, the gear lever knob and steering wheel rim with red 12h markings from Audi exclusive come in Alcantara. In addition, the inlays come in carbon as a standard feature.
