2010 Audi TTS Overview

Introduction

The Audi TTS brings S-level performance to the iconic sports car in the Audi/VW AG family, and is aimed directly at the segment leading cars from BMW and Porsche.

The TTS blends the original Bauhaus styling with Audi's current modern design theme and advanced technology. The coupes spaceframe is 69% aluminum and 31% steel (roadster = 58/42%), with most of the steel in the rear to offset the weight of the engine and better balance the car. All TTS's are powered by a 265-hp turbocharged direct-injection 2.0-liter four-cylinder with a six-speed automatic S-tronic as the only transmission choice. The all-wheel drive quattro system has been customized specifically to the TTS for faster response time. Unique body treatments, 18" wheels and black brake calipers provide the visual differentiation from the TT. Safety features include front, side and knee airbags, run-flat tires with pressure monitoring and 4-wheel anti-lock brakes and stability control.

For 2010, the Premium Plus package has been dropped, and Bluetooth has been added as standard equipment.
