Audi reveals the new Audi TT Roadster, a sensible open-topped sports car. The new Audi TT Roadster, like the third-generation TT coupe, combines a respectable athleticism with the reassurance delivered by an all-wheel-drive chassis, and s decent dose of practicality and style. The model is actually a sporty car for people who don’t want an actual sports car.
The car comes with a 2.0-liter TSI engine in 200 horsepower tune and perform as what we have expect from its numerous other applications. As the turbocharger starts to spin, there’s a hint of lag and a strong midrange that begins to tail off only above 6000 rpm.
The standard TT roadster with the chasis’ relentless quest for adhesion makes it feel less exciting than the 5.2-second zero-to-60 mpm time suggests. The standard dual-clutch automatic transmission that is fast provides a flotilla response to make sudden progress in driving.
As compared with the Audi Coupe, the Audi Roadster is $3500 more, adds up some 200 pounds, and loses the marginal seats. The question is, does Audi TT Roadster make a better car that the coupe? We hope so.
