Test Drive: 2011 Audi TTS

VOICE OVER: Miranda Lightstone

Audis often cruise the streets unnoticed – save for the R8, of course. A3s, A4s and even the S5s rarely get a second look on the road. However, the Audi TT is another story entirely. A two-door roadster, the Audi TT is a bit of a boyhood fantasy in both its looks and its drive. Add to that Audi's sport package, and the Audi TTS truly is the stuff of dreams. In this video, http://www.WatchMojo.com shows off our love of the convertible once again by spending a week behind the wheel of a 2011 Audi TTS.

Despite the Audit TTS being an automatic, the drive is fantastic. With a 2.0-liter, turbocharged 4-cylinder, the TTS pushes out 265 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Despite the smaller engine than the regular TT (which as a 3.2-liter V6), the TTS is more powerful and more responsive.

Of course, Audi’s signature Quattro AWD makes this roadster handle like a dream no matter what kind of corner your throw at it. Low to the ground and spread out, the TTS hugs the road in a fantastic way and is just begging to be pushed at every opportunity. Thanks to Audi’s reluctance to introduce a hard-top on the TT, this convertibles weight is kept down meaning the performance numbers stay up. 0-60 is reached in just 4.5 seconds. And that soft top retracts or goes up in just 12 seconds.

It seems Audi is all about being fast and efficient, even in one of its more exuberant vehicles.
