Audi Adds TT Sizzle With "S line"

Motoring Channel Staff - 10/Oct/2006

Ingolstadt, Germany — This is as good a reason as any to have another look at Audi's beautiful new TT Coupé, which was officially launched in Berlin back in early April (2006). Although the new TT is still yet to make its way to Australia, Audi has revealed its S line TT range in Europe, which adds a stylish and sporty edge to the TT's already svelte exterior design.

Audi explains that two S line packages have been added to the TT range in Europe and that both feature an array of visual and functional optional extras that offer additional sporty highlights in performance and design.

For even more agile handling, the S line 'sports' package combines sports suspension (with a 10-millimetre lower ride height) with 18-inch aluminium wheels of 5-spoke design, or as an option, an even more exclusive set of 19-inch aluminium wheels (of 20-spoke design or 7 twin-spoke design). These larger wheels give the TT a sufficiently sporty look, adding even more attraction to the German sports cars.

Inside the car, sports seats ensure optimum lateral support. These are upholstered in a combination of cloth and leather or optionally fine Nappa leather, each embossed with the S line logo, while silver stitching lends an ultra-stylish note to the otherwise black interior. A shortened gear lever reduces shift travel on the manual version and the gear knob is trimmed in perforated leather. Also included in the sports package is an S line leather sports steering wheel, extended aluminium accents for the interior and the S line logo on the door sill trims and front quarter panels (wings). The exclusive exterior colours Misano Red and Avus Silver can be ordered with the sports package at the same price as metallic/pearl effect paintwork.

The characteristic features of the S line 'exterior' package are the distinctive bumpers at the front and rear and side ventilation grilles at the front. The diffuser insert at the rear and the centre front spoiler lip are finished in colour-contrasting carbon. S line logos are also included in the exterior package, which is the more cost effective of the 'sports' and 'exterior' S line offering. Audi has announced that the S line sports package and S line exterior package are available for the 2.0-litre TFSI and the 3.2-litre V6 quattro models and can also be combined with each other. 

Pricing: 

S line 'Sports' package: € 1,800
S line 'Exterior' package: € 1,300
