Even stronger in character, even sportier – with the TT 45 TFSI
(combined fuel consumption in l/100 km: 6.5–6.3 (36.2–37.3 US mpg); combined CO2 emissions in g/km: 148–144 (238.2–231.7 g/mi)), Audi is introducing the new equipment line S competition plus to the catalog. Gloss black attachments, large wheels, and a fixed rear wing are sure to turn heads. The interior is dominated by Alcantara, leather, and contrasting stitching. The sporty heart of the TT 45 TSFI* satisfies the latest level of the European 6 emission standard and delivers 245 PS and 370 Nm (272.9 lb-ft) of torque.
The Audi TT has been demonstrating its special character ever since its series debut in 1998. In its third generation, which has been on the market since 2014, the compact sports car embodies emotion and dynamism in its pure form.
The new “S line competition plus” now takes this one step further. It is available as a TT 45 TSFI** with 180 kW (245 PS) and a seven-speed S Tronic for both the Coupé and the Roadster. The revised engine meets the latest level of the Euro 6 emissions standard. The variants with Quattro drive will be available to order in the first quarter of 2021.
The combination of not one but two equipment packages provides the ingredients for the sporty appearance of the “competition plus” models: The S line exterior package draws attention to the bumpers, the radiator protective grille, the side air inlets, the sill trims, and the diffuser insert at
the rear with a distinctive style. The black styling package adds to the modern appearance with attachments in high-gloss black: The Singleframe, air inlets, exterior mirrors, sill trim strips, diffuser insert, and a fixed rear wing look particularly sporty with their dark finish.
The Audi rings and the exhaust tailpipes also have a black painted finish. With the Roadster, a black hood and a high-gloss black roll-over bar cover complete the look, while dark privacy glazing in the rear is available for the Coupé
The standard 19-inch wheels in a five-arm polygon design are likewise styled in gloss black, with 20-inch wheels in the 10-Y spoke design available as an option. Behind them, the red-painted brake calipers catch the eye and provide a harmonious contrast. The standard S line sport suspension with dynamic damper tuning lowers the body by 10 mm (0.4 in) and
underscores the sporty appearance. On request, LED headlights to illuminate the road. In addition to the turbo blue solid paint finish, the customer can choose from the metallic colors tango red,
glacier white, and Chronos gray, which is available for the TT for the first time. Regardless of the paint finish, the Audi rings behind the door are presented in black foil.
Dark tones, specific accents, and fine materials define its interior. The Audi TT 45 TFSI S line competition plus** is based on the S line sport package, in which dark tones predominate. The sports seats plus are upholstered with leather and Alcantara in black – or entirely in fine Nappa leather as an option. Engraved S logos in the integrated head restraints express red or ara blue adds accents within the stitching. Elements such as the rings inside the air vents or the trim on the center tunnel are available in tango red (exclusively for the Coupé), turbo blue, or slate gray. The lower part of the tunnel and parts of the door trims are upholstered in leather that is further enhanced by contrasting
stitching.
Thanks to the combination of leather and Alcantara, the flat-bottomed steering wheel sits particularly well in the driver’s hands. Contrasting stitching and a center mark of contrasting colors create additional visual highlights in the driver-oriented cockpit.
The driver looks at the standard 12.3-inch Audi virtual cockpit with variably adjustable display modes for driving and infotainment content. The instrument panel exhibits an engineered grain
that was previously reserved for the Audi TTS.
The inlays are made of matt brushed aluminum or carbon. An Alcantara cover with S rhombus makes the S Tronic gear lever knob particularly sophisticated, while the gear gaiter is made from leather. The Audi TT S line competition plus will be available to order from October on the German market, with deliveries commencing in December. In Germany, prices will start at €47,316.30 / $55,673.30 (Coupé) or €49,655.80 / $49,655.80 (Roadster).
