Spy Shots: Audi TT Roadster and TT-S
Filed under: Spy Photos, Convertibles, Coupes, Sports/GTs, Audi
The new shape of the Audi TT is well known by now, but the boys and girls at Ingolstadt have delayed debuting the drop-top version until after the coupe has settled into the marketplace. Winding Road has posted pictures of a TT roadster out on a quiet drive that”s been caught by the spy camera”s eye, and we can see the soft canvas top Audi”s going with in lieu of a retractable hard top. The coupe”s silhouette is also clearly in tact. Perhaps more interesting are the accompanying shots on Winding Road of the TT-S, or TT S-line as it may end being called. This high-po version of the TT is said to be powered by a version of the turbocharged 2.0-liter four from the Audi A3 developing about 180 horsepower. The larger tire and wheel combination on the TT-S also looks more appropriate for the car than the base rubber and fills out the fenders nicely. A DSG transmission will likely be offered, but we hope Audi addresses the mushy clutch and shifter of the A3″s manual transmission before it enters the TT-S. They”re also reporting the possibility of a TT-RS in the works, which would feature a 2.5-liter five-cylinder and generate upwards of 350 horsepower. Either way, the TT coupe won”t be alone in showrooms for long. [Source: Winding Road]
