First Drive: 2011 Audi TT Coupe
2011 Audi TT Coupe - Audi Luxury Sport Coupe Review - Automobile Magazine
Much more torque, but fewer powertrain choices.

Audi’s TT has always been a great looking car with peppy engines and respectable driving characteristics, but we’ve never quite put it on the same page as the coupes and roadsters from BMW and Porsche. To improve the TT’s street cred, Audi brought the 265-hp TTS to market. We like the car’s power, but still balked at the price. A few weeks ago we stole a bit of time behind the wheel of a TT RS, which is all but approved for U.S. sales, and walked away very, very impressed.
