Audi TTS

German manufacturer Audi will debut its fastest TT yet at the upcoming Detroit Motor Show.

The Audi TTS features a tweaked 2.0-litre FSI turbocharged four-cylinder from the VW Golf GTi and Audi S3 under the bonnet and develops 200kW of power and 350Nm of torque.

Audi claims the all-wheel-drive TTS sprints from 0-100km/h in 5.2 seconds when equipped with the optional S-tronic semi-automatic gearbox (Audi's version of VW's DSG) while the standard six-speed manual reaches 100km/h 0.2 seconds slower at 5.4 seconds.

Unfortunately, Australia will get a detuned version of the TTS due to our hot climate with power down 4kW at 196kW. The TTS will go on sale - in coupe and convertible guises - in the second quarter of 2008.
