Audi 's second-generation TT Coupe represents an evolution of the original's design, with considerably more daring styling. Also available in convertible form as the TT Roadster, new TT is larger (five inches longer, three inches wider), and completely re-engineered.

One of the most noticeable changes is the addition of Audi 's new corporate face that utilizes aggressive headlights coupled with a large grille. Despite this, the TT maintains its predecessor's overall proportions and design language.

The TT was once available with a choice of a four- or a six-cylinder engine, but now the model has been simplified to come with just a 2.0 TFSI engine that is rated at 211 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Coupled with the six-speed S tronic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive, the TT coupe can sprint from a stop to 60 in 5.3 seconds.

Fuel economy is rated at 22 city and 31 highway miles per gallon.

The interior of the car is also vastly different, bringing the TT in line with the standards set by Audi's more expensive models. Audi's interiors are usually the subject of much praise, and it would appear the company wants to keep it that way.

The high-tech Audi magnetic ride damper system is available as an option. In this system, tiny magnetic particles circulate in the oil inside the shock absorbers. When a voltage is applied to them, they alter the damping characteristics within milliseconds.

This adaptive system simultaneously ensures high levels of ride comfort and thoroughly sporty dynamism, according to the specific driving scenario and the preferences of the driver.

Key Competitors
While there are many other two-door models available at the same price as the TT Coupe, the Audi is something of a unique proposition as a luxurious, style-conscious 2+2 without overt sporting pretensions. The Ford Mustang GT provides far higher levels of power and handling but can't match the TT's interior sophistication, while the Infiniti G37 the slightly ungainly-looking BMW 1-Series are closer matches but are still more athletic.

      Audi magnetic ride

      • Instead of conventional damper oil, the shocks are filled with a special fluid where viscosity can be controlled by an electromagnetic field. The Audi magnetic ride suspension continuously adjusts the fluid’s electromagnetic properties to deliver the appropriate damping forces in every driving situation. The driver can manually select Normal or Sport mode in milliseconds with the touch of a button. The Sport button makes the power steering more dynamic and throttle response more spontaneous.
