Stylish and sharper: Audi is launching a sporty equipment line and a design-oriented special model for its TT family. The Audi TTS competition plus is an athletic highlight. The new “bronze selection” variant for the TT and the TTS exudes confident elegance.

The Coupé accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 4.5 seconds (Roadster: 4.8 seconds). Top speed is electronically governed at 250 km/h (155.3 mph). The seven-speed S tronic, quattro permanent all-wheel drive, and the Audi magnetic ride controlled shock absorber system are on board as standard.
The standard equipment of the TTS competition plus includes LED headlights, wrapped Audi rings on the side sills, privacy glazing (Coupé only), brake calipers painted in red, and high-gloss black 20-inch wheels with a 10-spoke design. The fixed rear wing as well as other exterior details in dark colors, such as the black Audi rings at the front and rear, highlight the dynamic ambitions at first glance.
Chronos gray, glacier white, tango red, and turbo blue are available for the exterior paint finish.
