Obtained by Autocar from the tts_freunde.de page, the updates applied to the pictured TT S are made up of a redesigned front bumper with an enlarged splitter, quad exhaust outlets, boomerang shaped air vents underneath the R8-styled taillights, a more pronounced rear diffuser and a black mesh, honeycomb grille.
As evident by the lightly masked prototypes spotted by the publication undergoing testing at the Nürburgring, less sporty models will benefit from the same updates albeit with dual exhausts and seemingly without the rear slits. Inside, the interior seems to have been kept unchanged, with the majority of the infotainment functions being resplendent on the Virtual Cockpit Display.
Both Coupe and Roadster variants will be retained alongside the 1.8 TFSI, 2.0 TFSI and 2.0 TDI engines, as well as the 2.5 TFSI five-cylinder powering the TT RS. A six-speed manual gearbox will again be standard on all four-cylinder models, with a seven-speed S tronic optional and the sole choice for the RS. A rumour though, according to Auto Express, is that the 1.8 could possibly make way for the 110kW 1.5 TSI Evo that powers the Volkswagen Golf and Polo.
Given the subtle tweaks, the updated TT’s world debut appears to be imminent.
