AUDI TTS 2008-2014 Photos, engines & full specs

The Audi TT Coupe TTS was launched at the 2008 North American International Auto Show and it was the sportier version of the already sporty coupe TT.

The second generation of the Audi TT was well received all around the world due to its compact size, attractive look, and its performances. It didn't have any outstanding design cues as other coupes of its size, but it did have its appeal.

The TTS version was easy to recognize due to its lip-spoiler painted in body color, a metallic-grey grille, and a rear diffuser that was not present on the TT model. The quad-oval exhausts in the rear were typical for the S-versions of the Audi models and it was installed in the little coupe. Though it was uncommon to see four pipes on a four-cylinder car.

Inside the car, there was seating for four, with ample front bucket-seats. In the rear, there was no real room for adults, or for anyone that needed more than a couple of inches of legroom. The headroom was so small, that the designers didn't even fit a pair of headrests. Or maybe they knew that nobody will ever seat there. The dashboard featured five air vents, with three in the middle, above the infotainment unit.

Under the hood, there was a revised version of the four-cylinder 2.0-TFSI engine of the other TT versions. Most importantly, it featured adaptive sport suspension to keep the car better planted on the road than the non-S version. There were two gearbox options: a 6-speed manual and a 7-speed, dual-clutch, automatic. It featured a standard all-wheel-drive traction system.
