The all-new Audi TT won’t arrive in the United States until 2015, so until then, the German automaker hopes to keep the current-generation model fresh enough by introducing a few equipment-related updates for the 2015 model year.
The 2015 Audi TT is available with two new optional packages, the TTS Competition package and the S Line Plus Carbon package, while new standard features include front heated seats, and 5-spoke Dynamic design wheels. An Audi exclusive roll-bar covered in black leather will be optional for both the TT and TTS.
The TT RS has been discarded from the range.
The optional Competition Package includes new exterior paint in Imola Yellow or Nimbus Gray, fixed rear spoiler, 5-arm-Rotor wheels with silver finish, and Baseball Optic leather seats with Imola yellow accents and contrast stitching.
Nothing changes under the hood, with the TT being powered by the 2.0-liter TFSI turbocharged 4-cylinder gasoline engine producing 211 hp and 258 lb-ft (349 Nm) of torque, enough to allow a 0-60 mph sprint in 5.3 seconds for the TT Coupe (5.6 seconds for the TT Roadster).
The same engine, but in a higher state of tune (265hp), powers the Audi TTS Coupe and Roadster. The TTS Coupe accelerates from 0-60 mph in 4.9 seconds, while the Roadster completes the sprint in 5.1 seconds. All TT and TTS models are fitted with a six-speed S tronic dual-clutch automatic transmission and Quattro all-wheel drive system, while TTS models come with the Audi’s magnetic ride suspension as standard.
Pricing for the 2015 TT has not yet been announced.
