Audi TTS

Well, what do we have here? It looks like a new Audi TT to me... Well not quite. This is the one and only Audi TTS. It's officially the quickest TT that's ever been produced - which is rather interesting given that I like these cars.

This particular model first appeared at the Detroit Motor Show, where many other models also first came to light. It's still not tacky or over the top, but the TT aspects have been toned up. This includes four exhausts, a new front apron, 18 or 19 inch alloys and the now-typical daylight running LED's.

So, what about performance? Well of course it still has the magnetic ride suspension (as standard on the TTS), but it also features a rather unexpected engine. Rather than a monstrous V8 or anything ludicrous, it has a 2.0 litre turbocharged 268bhp. This is good for a 0-60 in 5.5 seconds, or 5.2 in the DSG.

The interior is unusually snazzy for Audi and should be pretty pleasing to most people. I can't wait to see one in the flesh as it were, looks to be an excellent motor...
