AUDI A3, 2.0 FSI 3-DR HATCH, LAUNCHED 2004

AUDI has lit the wick of its TT sportscar with an explosive 200kW turbo engine. The new TTS Coupe and Roadster are the hero models of the TT range and sit above the V6 versions. They are fitted with a 200kW turbocharged four-cylinder engine that is potent enough to sling the coupe to 100km/h in 5.2 seconds, which means it a seriously fast machine. The TTS models also gain some exterior improvements including quad rear pipes, new bumpers, lowered suspension and special 18-inch rims, as well as some interior tweaks. Audi has made the TTS available with the standard six-speed manual, while the dual-clutch S Tronic automatic is available as an option. The TTS Coupe costs $92,900 and the Roadster is $97,100, which places them at the top of the TT price list with a $7100 premium over the V6 models.
