Far from making us fling our arms around over the excitement of its final reveal, the 2015 Audi TT is here, in leaked photos form, in red and with one interior shot. Just posted, it does match the darkened teaser shot from the back, so there’s very little chance of this not being the real thing.
Seen here in TTS guise (we changed color on the car featured in the opening photo), the first thing I can say about it is that it’s restrained, looking like a modernized version of its predecessor.
Naturally, it is an all-new car with a cool instrument cluster, but it just doesn’t scream “drive me!” like a Porsche Cayman, BMW’s Z4, Subaru BRZ or Alfa Romeo’s Brera and Peugeot’s RCZ(-R).
In all honesty, it looks like the kind of car somebody thinks of buying if they realize their budget gets them into a top-spec VW Scirocco, and they figure they want something more.
It’s not a bad looker, just a bit meh compared to other sporty coupes, so it needs to make up for this through its driving dynamics – the interior I think beats the exterior hands down for the sporty look factor and has a steering wheel worthy of our collection of pretty steering wheels, you know, before forward-thinkers in charge eliminate it completely.
The TTS packs a 300 PS punch, from its 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, as well as sporty body treatment in the form of the side sills, front and rear bumpers, plus the oversized rims that look to be in the 20-inch range. Check it out in the gallery below, as we wait for the official release to add the technical details and high-res shots.
