2016 Audi TT, TTS to Make U.S. Debut in L.A.
Audi updated its TT and TTS sports cars for the European market for model-year 2015, and the cars will hit U.S. shores as model-year 2016 coupes and convertibles. The third-generation TT is all angles up front with a large hexagonal grille, sharp hood contours and sleek, slit-like LED headlights.

TT coupes and roadsters will again use a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, but horsepower is up slightly for 2016 to 220 hp from 211 hp; in the sporty TTS model, the 2.0-liter will make 292 hp, up from 265. A six-speed dual-clutch automatic is again the sole transmission; no word on if Europe’s diesel version or manual-transmission model will be available in the U.S. The TT will be available as coupe and roadster; the TTS will be available as a coupe only.
Audi’s Quattro all-wheel-drive system is again standard, as is the Audi drive select system, which allows the driver to adjust shift points, throttle and steering response as well as the standard magnetic ride suspension on TTS.
Audi said the new models will go on sale during the second half of 2015, and pricing will be announced closer to the on-sale date. Stay tuned for more about the 2016 TT and TTS from the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show next week.
