Fastlane: TTS power
>AUDI'S latest TTS is available in coupe or roadster form. A modified 2-litre direct-injection turbo engine with 272 horsepower and 350Nm of torque is the two-seater's first power plant. It propels the coupe TTS (above) to 100kmh in 5.4 seconds and the roadster in 5.6 seconds when mated to a DSG transmission. The six-speed manual shaves 0.2 seconds off the century sprint. The cars peak at 279kmh.

Suspension, steering and brakes have been revised to distinguish the TTS from the TT. Magnetic ride adaptive damping is a standard equipment.
