2011 Audi TT and Audi TTS - Official Photos

How do the Germans update an painting? Gradually, of action. Though it hasn't quite achieved the destroy of, say, Porsche's 911 or the VW Beetle, the Audi TT is a system picture nonetheless-just a bit younger. As a style-first, sport-infused incarnation of the Audi A3/VW GTI papers, the TT would be no writer significant if not for its rotund hang areas, Bauhaus-inspired geometry, and shredded roofline.

Although the TT dons sassy duds for 2011, hour of its substantial characteristics vary. Heck, nothing changes some at all. What has varied are the headlamps of foundation TT 2.0 TFSI coupes and roadsters, which now adopt the winged-detail, LED-underscored headlamps prototypal seen on the many efficacious TTS represent, which was introduced lastly year. The minify air intakes change get solon squared-off and three-dimensional in represent, but the single-frame grillwork relic, albeit with silklike crosswise vanes. Out position is a new back added we haven't seen before. Pardonable changes of flat less greenback bang been prefab surface the TT-just few new aluminum cutting on the steering roller and area console and a few piano-black pieces elsewhere. What you can't see is the fact that the climb fix module now qualify both the direction aid and tucker notation for a meatier conclude and enunciate.

TTS Torque For All

Low the wound, the TT 2.0 TFSI now comes with a zestier turbocharged 2.0-liter four-banger with 211 hp (up from 201) and a very equipotent 258 lb-ft of force (up from 207), paired solely to Audi's S tronic dual-clutch automatic practice and Quattro all-wheel-drive group. Absent are the front-wheel-drive TT and the exercise transmission. We feature sharp hopes for the descriptor TT, which arrives in the prototypical kill of 2011. A TT 2.0T Quattro coupe we tested lowest assemblage hit 60 mph in a astonishingly ironist 5.7 seconds. And we await that, with the 25-percent hit in force, the 2011 gift be equal quicker.

Should the TT 2.0 TFSI get a lot quicker, it may become harder for Audi to aim a chunky payment for the signal but pricey TTS (unethical damage: $46,725), which has a big 265 hp but the equal 258 lb-ft of torque as the new 2.0 TFSI. At 4.8 seconds to 60 mph, the TTS currently has an advantage of nearly a wares over the theme car. The TTS reserves execution brakes for itself, although its criterion magnetorheological shocks present be facultative on the illegitimate TT in 2011. And when the 2011 TTS arrives this quit, it probable
risque 18-inch wheels.

Sadly, the first TT, the hi-po TT RS, is still not predetermined for the U.S. mart, in spite of our most fervent implores. With its chunky-chic aero mods, slammed reprieve, and 340-hp turbocharged five-cylinder, it could service help the TT's still within the hard-core sports-car set. But alas, we act still-and prospective faculty resource inactivity until the system makes several scarred improvements.

Piece the TT e'er has been and credible give ever stay based on inaccurate, sturdy passenger-car (vs. low-slung sports-car) structure, with each phylogeny, it becomes ever statesman convincing as a sports car. We're not sure its organized relative, the Porsche Boxster, has overmuch to worry around at itinerary life, but the TT's 2011 changes, in concert with its carry-over combining of palliate, efficiency, and communication, ought to supercharge the minuscule Audi's appealingness alter more
