The Audi TT is a stunning package which provides plenty of thrills. It is practical enough to be driven everyday as it gets decent ground clearance and the power on tap is manageable in all situations, says Faisal Khan, MotorBeam.com
The first generation TT was one of the first Audi’s to be seen in India as many people used to import the stylish coupe back then.
Now in its latest iteration, the Audi TT has evolved in terms of both design and technology.
The latest version of the TT looks more masculine compared to its predecessors.
The new Matrix LED headlights with DRLs look striking and draw the attention of everyone.
The prominent wheel arches highlight the 5-spoke alloy wheels that look as razor sharp.
The TT’s compact dimensions make it practical while parking and manoeuvring in traffic.
Once you settle, you will be awestruck by looking at the dashboard and the way everything is designed.
It doesn’t look like a regular Audi, it is very different!
The German carmaker has swapped the analogue instrument cluster for an all-digital 12.3-inch screen that doubles up as the MMI monitor.
The quality of all components feels rich while fit and finish is superb with excellent attention to detail.
The new Audi TT is powered by the same 2.0-litre TFSI turbocharged petrol engine but it has been re-tuned to produce 230 BHP of power between 4500-6200 RPM and 370 Nm of torque between 1600-4300 RPM.
Once you hit the 6900 RPM redline, you hear a sensational ‘braap’ from the exhaust before upshifting. The 6-speed S-Tronic gearbox is mated very well with this engine extracts optimum juice from the motor while shifting gears in a slick manner.
It can do 100 km/hr at a mere 1900 RPM in top gear which makes it a relaxed cruiser too.
The chassis is dynamically sound and the sports coupe has brilliant handling.
What makes you feel good is that it’s a very controllable car. It has the best ride quality in its segment, hands down.
Low speed ride is a bit stiff due to the low profile tyres but undulations and broken tarmac are handled well by this sports coupe.
Turning style into substance when it comes to cars is an onerous task and more so in the case of sports cars.
The cherry on the top is the pricing, which plays a big role. The Audi TT is at least Rs 20 lakhs cheaper than its convertible rivals.
If you are looking for a hassle-free sports car to drive on road conditions like ours, this is a sensible buy for your garage.
