The Audi TT was originally defined by its distinctly curved styling. Now in its second generation, the TT wears more traditional styling around its compact dimensions. The TT is offered as both a 2+2 hatchback coupe and a 2 passenger roadster. Most TT models are powered by a 211-bhp turbocharged four cylinder engine and include a six-speed dual-clutch automated transmission and quattro all-wheel-drive. The higher performance TTS models increase the output of the four-cylinder to 265-bhp, but the ultimate TT is the new TT RS high-performance model (coupe only). The TT RS equips an inline five-cylinder engine rated at 360-bhp which can propel the TT RS to 60 in 4.1s. The TT is similar in size to other small coupes/roadsters like the BMW Z4 or Nissan Z. With pricing that overlaps the larger A5 coupe/convertible, the TT is a niche vehicle aimed at a buyer looking for something unique.

The TT RS is offered in the US for 2012. The TT RS has a larger inline five-cylinder under the hood producing 360-bhp. The TT RS is positioned above the TTS coupe.
