2013 Audi TTS

How about a low performance Audi TT? No, never! That would be as pointless as trying to explain maths to your gold fish. Ok, let’s really give the TT a few extra herbs and label it a TTS. Now we’re talking!

Reworked to produce 200 kW, the 2.0 TFSI motor has a magnificent level of punch and an impressive amount of torque. Available across a wide rev band from 2500 rpm to 5000 rpm is a hefty 350 Nm of twist that works wonders, and with the optional S tronic transmission, you can accelerate from rest to 100 km/h in just 5.2 seconds inside the TTS Quattro Coupé, and 5.4 seconds in the TTS Quattro Roadster. This sort of performance creates plenty of smiles and satisfaction for the driving enthusiast, particularly when you can experience an electronically controlled top speed of 250 km/h in the right locations.

The interior is lavishly kitted out with sporty overtones and some very stylish and premium materials. In typical Audi fashion, the dash design is superbly laid out and pretty on the eye. Ergonomically designed switchgear falls perfectly at hand, and the standard leather multifunction sports steering wheel has a flat-bottom design for that extra bit of flair. The speedometer and rev counter are recessed down chrome tipped tunnels, and the standard sports seats are upholstered in two-tone Silk Nappa leather. You can opt for the sexy Impulse leather package which gives a very racy look. Inside the an Audi TTS Coupe the seating comprises of black Fine Nappa leather with black/grey moccasin seams and silver coloured stitching. Flip into an Audi TTS Roadster and you can experience the beautiful Chennai brown seat upholstery with matching moccasin seams and Espresso coloured stitching. Seated low down in the cockpit, and comfortably positioned, the acceleration experience inside a TTS is something rather special because the road whizzing by is not much lower than your bum height.

Always eye catching, the stunning TTS exterior design has special detailing. Take a look at the rear end, and you notice a nicely lipped body coloured bumper and twin exhaust tailpipes. The Audi TTS exterior boasts a platinum grey, single-frame grille which glistens in its distinctive chrome finish. The curvy and very low profile roof-line shape is unseen elsewhere in the automotive world, and with wide sills the Audi TTS is incredibly stylish and extremely racy.

Take the Audi TTS out on a tight, twisting road, and you will be so impressed with the car’s level of composure and grip, while the speed through the bends can be as fast as you care to push it. Certainly, the high speed capability of the Audi TTS is not for the faint hearted. The newly configured Audi magnetic ride suspension is 10 millimetres lower than before and comes as standard. Audi have designed the chassis to adapt instantaneously to changes in driving conditions – and the result is an unparalleled handling package that is unmatched by the car’s rivals.

You can equip your Audi TTS with an S-tronic dual-clutch gearbox that performs its gearshifts with virtually no interruption to the power flow. It also allows the driver to change gear using shift paddles on the steering wheel.

The Audi TTS Roadster comes with a fully automatic soft top that takes only twelve seconds to open. Using intelligent Z-fold technology, the hood blends perfectly into the overall body shape, and the electrically extended mesh wind deflector reduces draughts inside the car. For the best small cabriolet experience, look no further than the very accomplished Audi TTS Roadster. For the sexiest small coupe experience look no further than the Audi TTS Coupe.

Travelling at lightning speed also requires that the brakes be right up to scratch and all safety features are of the finest level. This little rocketship boasts premium safety features and ensures that both occupants are cocooned in Audi’s Space Frame (ASF) technology. ASF combines aluminium and steel to achieve a remarkably low vehicle weight and an extremely rigid body that delivers excellent strength.

The Audi TTS draws attention like no other car can. Parked up your own driveway is where you’ll want this gem to be!
