New Audi TTS Coupé in Blackburn, Carlisle, Crewe, Preston, Stafford and Stoke

The TTS Coupé combines the iconic silhouette of the standard TT with the athletic power and dynamism of Audi’s S model. Packed with the latest tech and brilliant to drive, it is a beauty and a beast all in one.

Exterior design

The latest version of Audi’s TT has sharper looks to emphasise its increasingly sporting handling, and the upgrades to the TTS only add to this sportiness.

The TTS Coupé rides on beautiful 19-inch alloy wheels on suspension 10mm lower than a standard TT. There is an aggressive body styling package, black-painted brake callipers, and all-weather LED headlights, plus quad exhaust tailpipes with a luxurious chrome finish.

Interior design

Every time you sit inside the TTS Coupé will feel like an event. It’s exquisitely crafted from premium materials, while the dashboard’s minimalist design emphasises that the focus is on driving.

There is a sporty flat-bottomed steering wheel that you can adjust to find the perfect driving position, heated Super Sports seats in fine Nappa leather, and air conditioning. Stainless steel foot pedals make it feel like a true track-day race car.

In the back there’s a pair of cosy rear seats perfect for young passengers, and the rear hatchback opens to reveal a generously-sized boot that’s bigger than a Ford Fiesta’s. When you need the TTS to be carry larger loads, the rear seats split and fold to expand the boot space.

Performance

Fire up the 2.0 TFSI to stir its 306bhp and you’ll rarely look back at the road behind you. It thunders towards 60mph in less than five seconds, with a further 0.3 seconds shaved off if you opt for the six-speed S tronic gearbox.

Audi’s legendary quattro all-wheel drive system means you can call on impressive grip no matter what the weather. This dependable technology means you can wring every last drop of performance from the drivetrain in total confidence.

Audi drive select means you can alter the driving manners of the TTS Coupé to suit your mood, subtly changing the throttle and steering responses. Select from five modes, including one you can personalise to suit your individual tastes, and the standard-fit Audi magnetic ride will adjust the firmness of the dampers to the current driving situation almost instantaneously.

Technology and safety

The TTS Coupé comes with an impressive Audi Virtual Cockpit, which replaces the traditional analogue dials with a crystal clear 12.3-inch TFT panel that displays everything from speed and revs to phone and audio information.

You can use both a rotary dial and touch-sensitive pad to control Audi’s MMI radio system. It’s Bluetooth®-enabled so you can pair your smartphone and stream music, while the uprated Audi sound system dots nine speakers around the cabin. Specify the optional Technology pack to get satellite navigation with detailed three-dimensional directions. A host of safety features come as standard, including front impact airbags, Cruise Control and a tyre pressure loss indicator. Audi lane assist will even help you stay in lane on motorways by making gentle steering corrections for you.
