New Audi TT and TTS Coupé – update for the design icon
Familiarly known as Audi’s design icon, Audi TT’s third generation takes the stage with a facelifted appearance - sporty and refined exterior design, higher-powered engines and an extended scope of standard equipment.
The Audi TT has previously shown close attention to design detail with aluminium elements in the driver-oriented interior, progressive rim design, a short, ball-shaped gear lever knob, characteristic tank flap and round, dual-branch tailpipes are among the typical features of this compact sports car.
Audi has continued to refine the design of the new TT range, enhanced its performance and extended the range of standard equipment. Besides the driver-oriented Audi virtual cockpit with racing gauges, the basic version of the new model now features the Audi drive select dynamic handling system, Audi smartphone interface, parking aid plus, power-adjustable front seats and the multifunction steering wheel plus, with which the infotainment and voice control system can be controlled entirely using the steering wheel. Also standard are the illuminated USB ports as well as MMI navigation plus.
The exterior design of the new TT range is now more masculine, more progressive and even sportier than before. The front features a three-dimensional Single-frame radiator grille and large side air inlets emphasize the vehicle’s width dimensions.
At the rear, horizontal lines again underscore the breadth of the new Audi TT. There is no cap underneath the tank flap with its classic TT design; the driver can insert the fuel pump nozzle directly into the opening, thereby showcasing a typical sports car feature. Headlights with LED technology is part of its standard equipment, however Matrix LED technology is optionally available.
The facelifted TT range includes 19-inch wheels in five different designs. Three new body colours complete the range of paint finishes: cosmos blue, pulse orange and turbo blue (S line models only).
Audi South Africa will offer two petrol engine derivatives as part of the local Audi TT range. The Audi TT Coupé 45 TFSI S tronic includes 169 kW of power with the Audi TTS Coupé quattro S tronic providing 228 kW of power. The 45 TFSI is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, while the TTS is mated to a six-speed S tronic transmission.
The Audi TT Coupé 45 TFSI S tronic is priced at R 670,00 and the Audi TTS Coupé quattro S tronic is priced at R 782,000. Both models come standard with the 5 year / 100 000km Audi Freeway plan and inclusive of all taxes.
The Audi TTS Coupé will also make a special appearance at the upcoming 2019 Festival of Motoring, taking place at the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit in Johannesburg (22 – 25 August).
