2011 Audi TT and TTS - Official Photos and Info - Car and Driver
Although it hasn’t quite achieved the level of, say, Porsche’s 911 or the VW Beetle, the Audi TT is a design icon nonetheless—just a bit younger. As a style-first, sport-infused incarnation of the Audi A3/VW GTI platform, the TT would be no more remarkable if not for its rounded overhang areas, Bauhaus-inspired geometry, and chopped roofline. Although the TT dons fresh duds for 2011, none of its essential characteristics change. What has changed are the headlamps of base TT 2. 0 TFSI coupes and roadsters, which now adopt the winged-detail, LED-underscored headlamps first seen on the more potent TTS model, which was introduced last year. Minor changes of even less note have been made inside the TT—just some new aluminum trim on the steering wheel and center console and a few piano-black pieces elsewhere. Under the skin, 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 potent 258 lb-ft of torque (up from 207), mated exclusively to Audi’s S tronic dual-clutch automated manual and... Gone are the front-wheel-drive TT and the manual transmission. We have high hopes for the base TT, which arrives in the first quarter of 2011. A TT 2. 0T Quattro coupe we tested last year hit 60 mph in a surprisingly swift 5. 7 seconds. Should the TT 2. 0 TFSI get. Source: www.caranddriver.com
