| The 2010 Audi TT is offered as both a coupe and a roadster. The roadster has a power-retracting soft convertible top, which can open in just 12 seconds and operated at road speeds up to 25 mph. Two engines are offered on the TT. A turbocharged 200-hp, 2.0L direct-injection 4-cylinder engine is standard on the 2.0T model, while 3.2 models get the 250-horsepower, 3.2L V6. 2.0T models are available in either front-wheel drive or with Audi's quattro all-wheel-drive system, while 3.2 models come only in quattro configuration. With the 4-cylinder engine, the quick S-tronic dual-clutch gearbox is standard. S-tronic, which can function like a normal automatic transmission or shifted manually without a clutch, changes gears in a brisk 0.2 seconds. On V6 models, a six-speed manual transmission is also available. In the new high-performance TTS, you'll find a highly modified version of the 2.0L turbo, which puts out a potent 265 hp and 258 ft-lb of torque, good enough to propel the car to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds. The quattro system and S-tronic transmission are standard. The TT is built on the aluminum-alloy Audi Space Frame, which helps reduce weight; the bodyshell weighs only 308 pounds. When equipped with S-tronic, the 3.2 quattro reaches 60 mph in 5.5 seconds, while the 4-cylinder takes as 6.3 seconds. The all-wheel-drive system that comes with 3.2 quattro models sends 85% of engine torque to the front wheels for normal driving, but as needed it can send up to 100% to the rear wheels. The TT features a sport-tuned suspension and all models come with excellent brakes. On all TT models, in coupe or roadster form, a rear spoiler deploys at 75 mph and helps enhance stability. |
