Audi has recently announced the 3rd generation TT as well as the hot TT-S version. TT series was first launched as a Coupé in September 1998, followed by a Roadster in August 1999. The second iteration debuted in 2006 in two bodystyles and in high-performance S and RS models.

TT and TTS models are basically famous for its outstanding performance matched with great efficiency. Precisely, the 2015 Audi TT Coupe and Roadster will be powered by the 2.0-liter TFSI turbocharged and direct-injected four cylinder engine. The latter help those Audis deliver 211HP (155 kW) and 350 Nm (258 lb-ft) of torque. This also results in an effortless acceleration time from 0-100 km/h for only 5.3 seconds and 5.6 seconds, respectively.

Next, the TTS Coupe and Roadster are also powered by the 2.0-liter TFSI unit, but the engine is boosted to 265HP (195 Nm) and 350Nm (258 lb-ft) of torque. The result is that the TTS Coupe accelerates 0-100 km/h in 4.9 seconds, while the Roadster needs 5.1 seconds.
