Even more eye-catching than the coupe, the second-generation TT roadster is a more aggressive, muscular car than its predecessor. Audi equips the TT with a choice of a 2.0L turbo or a 3.2L V-6. The V-6 can be mated to a 6-speed S tronic automatic gearbox or a 6-speed manual driving all four wheels. The FWD 2.0L gets the S tronic transmission only. Compared to the TT Coupe, the slightly heavier Roadster seats only two passengers, so interior storage suffers. The Roadster's fabric top is fully power-actuated and fits over the rollover hoops behind the seats. A comprehensive option list includes nine different alloy wheels designs (17 to 19-inches), special leather interior trim, S line sports package, DVD navigation, and Bose audio system.

The TT lineup has been simplified for 2010. Front wheel drive and V6 models have been dropped.
