The new TT RS looks delicious, but its 400 horsepower snarl is almost too much for the road. But now, you can have some of its styling with a more reasonable engine, thanks to the TT S line Competition.
Over the past year, Audi has built many models that bridge the gap between regular and S performance models. Off the top of my head, I could name the A6 and A7 Competition, the A8 L Sport and the lovely A6 allroad quattro Sport.
At a glance, the TT S line Competition isn't that exciting. But it has something you don't even get on the TTS, which is a large fixed rear wing, the reason for that being that the TTS has a folding one.
Besides the wing, it's also been fitted with back wheels, seen here on the red roadster model. Alternatively, you could have the blade design in a two-tone color. The Competition models also sit 10mm closer to the ground, but since they have the S line package, that's to be expected.
We think these editions are meant to come with everything a customer might want to order. And that includes a standard 12.3-inch digital dashboard, otherwise known as Virtual Cockpit. Thanks to the S line interior package, you also get Alcantara trim, sports seats, and a flat-bottomed steering wheel.
The downside to all of this is the price, which starts at €41,940 for a coupe with a manual and FWD. The only engine available is the 2.0 TFSI rated at 230 PS and 370 Nm of torque (273 lb-ft), which can also be ordered with AWD and the 6-speed S tronic.
That's a whole lot of money to pay for what's essentially the Golf GTI setup. However, just the body kit would have been a €2,500 option, so buying the whole thing is cheaper than adding the option to a regular TT.
