Audi has opened the order books for the updated 2019
TTS, which also includes the new special Competition model. The latter is the second special
TT edition we get, after the limited ‘20 Years’ model that debuted with the regular
series model. Despite having the name ‘Competition’, this version of the TTS is
limited to mostly styling changes rather than an actual performance upgrade.
Anyone who has driven an Audi TTS
can sure tell that the performance on-tap is more than enough to keep the
driver smiling. The 2019 Audi TTS Competition features a fixed rear wing, red brake
calipers, laminated Audi rings on the side sills, 20-inch high-gloss black
alloy wheels and other exterior details finished in gloss black.
Customers will get to choose between two options for
their interior: Express red leather with contrast stitching in gray or ebony
leather with contrast stitching in express red. The Coupe version of the TTS
Competition also gets privacy glass and the elements of the seat trims and
center console finished in either slate gray chrome or tango red. The air vent
rings are also finished in red while the steering wheel and gear lever are
dressed in alcantara.
For the 2019 model year, the Audi TTS continues using
the turbocharged 2.0-liter TFSI, which now features a particulate filter. It
produces 302 hp and 400 Nm of peak torque from just 2,000rpm. The only transmission choice is a seven-speed
dual-clutch gearbox.
Audi claims that the new TTS Coupe is capable of a
0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds (Roadster: 4.8 seconds), while top speed is
electronically limited to 250 km/h.
