Want to feel very special, drive a great sports car and stand apart from the crowd but don’t have a million dollars for a Porsche 911?
No problem. I have the solution.
What about Audi’s TTS? Okay, it’s not the 400 horsepower TT RS – I get it. But it retains the walk-on-water MQB platform and pairs it with the Golf R drivetrain – good for 265 horsepower and 258 lb.ft of torque driving all four wheels. Paired with the S-Tronic DSG dual-clutch, you’ve got a car capable of blitzing 60 mph in 4.9 seconds yet still returns 27 mpg on the highway. Unlike the R8, it’s also got rear seats (albeit quite small) and a hatchback that doesn’t contain a V10. While that’s disappointing when showing off to your friends, the reality is that occasionally you need to carry something larger than your ego.
But though it lacks the headline-grabbing figures and cross-marque instantly recognizable alpha-numeric nomenclature of its more famous siblings, the TTS fails to disappoint with performance and incorporates all the cutting-edge technology, including the mega-cool virtual dashboard. You could also spec it out in a bunch of really cool colors, like Somoa Orange Metallic.

The two-tone black/orange interior is a nice splash of color – these TTs can feel pretty claustrophobic inside when all black. I really love the wheel choice, too – a throwback to the old Ronal R8 design.

While not the fastest car out there or even in the model lineup, this is still a very quick car with stout cornering ability. Miles aren’t out of control, and it appears to be in good condition. What’s not to like? Perhaps the $27,500 price tag? For argument’s sake, that gets you into a slightly newer, slightly faster Golf R with a manual. But this one sure is a looker.

This color is fantastic, that add a lot of value. Same for the interior. But the darn DSG. Audi was trying so hard not to sell these cars. If they offered it i a manual, I am sure they would have sold more.
Fun find. I feel the same way about the wheels, but I will also admit that I was not fond of cleaning those Ronal R8s. I agree with Christian about the transmission, although I am told the DSG is very good on this platform. Thanks for sharing it!!!
