On sale since 2014, the TT’s exterior changes are minor and consists of enlarged side air intakes, a 3D take on the Singleframe grille, and a choice of LED or Matrix LED headlights with dynamic indicators.
Differentiating it from lesser models, the S line adds a titanium black grille, wider rear diffuser, new vertical air inlets on the front bumper, a full-length front splitter and boomerang-shaped inlets underneath the taillights. Rounding off the changes are standard 17-inch alloy wheels or optional Audi Sport alloys measuring 18, 19 and 20-inches and three new colours, Cosmos Blue, Pulse Orange and the S line exclusive Turbo Blue.
Inside, Audi has continued with the minimalist appearance but added more equipment, such as the standard fitment of the 12.3-inch Virtual Cockpit Display on all models with two viewing modes; Classic that places the speedometer and tachometer on either side of the infotainment display and Sport which provides additional info such as engine output, torque and G-force reading.
Others include rain sense wipers, the Audi Dynamic Select system, heated mirrors, a multi-function steering wheel, Audi Connect with LTE, optional 14-speaker, 680-watt Bang & Olufsen sound system, dusk sensor and illuminated USB ports.
Practically-wise, the TT has also been kept unchanged with boot space rated at 305-litres for the Coupe and 280-litres for the Roadster, whose cloth roof, which can be ordered in grey or black, can be opened and closed in around ten seconds at speeds up to 50km/h.
The biggest change lies the underneath the bonnet where the 1.8 TFSI and 2.0 TDI engines have been dropped altogether, leaving just the 2.0 TFSI in three states of tune; the entry-level 40 producing 145kW/320Nm and the more powerful 45 that makes 180kW/370Nm.
While front-wheel drive variants are offered with either a six-speed manual or seven-speed S tronic gearbox, the latter is the sole option for the 45 quattro as well as the TT S, whose 2.0-litre motor produces 225kW/400Nm.
Slated to reach dealership floors during the fourth quarter, the TT, in Germany, will retail from €35 050 (R543 142) for the Coupe and from €37 500 (R581 108) for the Roadster, while the TT S will command a sticker price of €54 500 (R844 543) for the Coupe and €57 500 (R891 032) for the Roadster.
