Audi TTS Coupe (UK-Spec)
The Audi TT: The history of an icon
When revolutionary design meets advanced technology, legends are born.
Indeed, when the Audi TT concept car was first unveiled to the public in 1995, it met with immediate and huge acclaim.
Few production cars resembled their concept quite as closely as this one. And when the Audi TT first went on sale in 1998, it quickly became one of the most popular sports cars in its class.
In 2006, another milestone. The second-generation TT launched. With Audi Space Frame technology, it was 90kg lighter than the first generation model – translating into an improved drive that garnered award after award.
Now we've reached the next chapter: the third-generation TT. Unique, distinctive, unmistakably Audi: it continues to define the notion of what a sports car should be.
A beauty and a beast
The S badge on an Audi model signifies something special. And the TTS is something very special. Combining impressive performance with marque-defining styling, the third-generation TTS is both beautiful and powerful. Power has been increased by 38PS so the 2.0-litre TFSI four-cylinder, variable valve engine now puts 310PS through either a 6-speed manual or S tronic transmission to power the quattro all-wheel-drive. We've also enhanced the way power is delivered to the wheels. It means that the TTS Coupé now accelerates from 0-62mph in 4.6 seconds,* while the TTS Roadster achieves the same in 4.9 seconds.* Whichever car you choose, they’re both capable of going on to an electronically limited top speed of 155mph.

Highly distinctive bumpers and rear diffuser. Chrome-plated quad exhaust tailpipes. 19” 5-arm alloy wheels with black painted calipers. They all make a powerful impression. Inside, the TTS also delights. Front Super Sport seats look and act the part, while the TTS specific Audi Virtual Cockpit displays the superb performance of the TTS in a wide 12.3” fully digital display.
Matrix LED Lights: Illuminating features.
Far from just making a dramatic statement, optional Matrix LED headlights available on the Audi TT incorporate technology that adapts automatically to the car’s surroundings.
Sensors and an inbuilt camera allow Matrix LED headlights to detect rear and oncoming lights of other road users, as well as ambient light in built-up areas. The technology then reacts by dipping individual LEDs to prevent dazzle, while still illuminating the remainder of the road.
Using the vehicle’s optional navigation data, Matrix LED technology can even anticipate corners, adjusting LEDs as you negotiate the bend. The result is a much wider visual range, benefitting both you and other road users. And with dynamic, sweeping LED indicators at both front and rear, the striking look is complete.
quattro: Driving confidence, whatever the weather.
Loose gravel. Icy patches. A tight bend in the rain. Conditions on the road are always changing so quattro* changes too.
When coupled with Dynamic mode in Audi Drive Select, the system that enables you to adjust the performance characteristics of your car, more torque is now distributed to the rear axle in a fraction of a second for more agility on sportier drives. While in Efficiency, Comfort, Auto and Individual modes, the ideal amount of power is distributed to each wheel to maintain the TT’s perfectly balanced handling according to driving conditions and your preference.
It's made for the most challenging conditions of all – the ones you encounter every day. Whatever the road holds, you can be confident that quattro will react.
Inner beauty.
Using our latest innovations and meticulous attention to detail, our designers created a sleek, uncluttered cabin.
It’s partly thanks to the Audi Virtual Cockpit, which shows all the information you need directly behind the steering wheel, on a single dynamic display. The result is a cleaner and crisper instrument panel.
With a stroke of inspiration, the air conditioning controls and optional digital displays are housed within the iconic round air vents.
Standard Sport seats in Alcantara/leather with integrated headrests complete the cabin’s look: sharp, minimalist, sporty.
Audi Virtual Cockpit: Visible innovation.
The Audi Virtual Cockpit, first featured in the Audi TT, sets new standards.
Located directly behind the steering wheel, a 1,440 x 540 pixel, 12.3” digital screen shows all information directly in front of the driver. Operated via the MMI Touch button, voice control and the multi-function steering wheel, the display can be switched between ‘classic’, with prominent speedometer and rev counter, or ‘infotainment’, which brings functions such as the navigation map or media to the fore. And in the TTS there is a unique screen showcasing a rev counter in the centre of the virtual cockpit.
With high-quality graphics, a 3D impression and highly detailed effects, the Audi Virtual Cockpit is the embodiment of the TT’s technological innovation.
Audi Connect: Stay networked on the move.
Being inside your car shouldn’t mean losing touch with the outside world. That’s why, with the optional Audi Connect, the TT creates a link between you and the internet.
With 4G internet access in your car,* you can go online to access information, entertainment and Google EarthTM navigation maps by scrolling, tapping or speaking your commands. Audi Connect can even find you the cheapest fuel price in your area. And, with a wireless hotspot within the car, passengers can connect their mobile devices – to browse the internet, download emails, or access social media.
With Audi Connect, the world stays at your fingertips.
