2011 Audi TT Reviews

Audi TT

For the 2011 model year the stylish Audi TT (European model pictured) has undergone a mid-cycle refresh, making it more dynamic and more efficient. The base Audi TT features a peak output of 211 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, which is enough to send the Audi TT Coupe from 0-60 mph in just 5.6 seconds. This 340 horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque turbocharged 2.5-liter five-cylinder variant of the Audi TT delivers 4.6-second 0-60 mph times, thanks in part to its Quattro all-wheel drive. The Audi TTS model gets a new grille, fog lights and surrounds, and chrome horizontal cross braces.

The Audi TT heads into 2011 with more power, a restyled front grille and standard leather seating. The Audi TT is available in coupe and roadster body styles, and both are fitted with Audi's sprightly turbocharged four-cylinder engine.

Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options. The 2011 Audi TT is available as a 2+2 hatchback coupe or a two-seat roadster, both of which come in one trim level known as Premium Plus.

Other options include adaptive suspension dampers, different wheels and leather upholstery with baseball-glove-style stitching. The S line package adds different 19-inch wheels, S line bumpers, sport seats, special upholstery, a sport steering wheel and headlight washers. The 2011 Audi TT comes standard with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 211 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. All-wheel drive is also standard. Every TT comes standard with antilock disc brakes, traction and stability control, side airbags and front knee airbags.

Interior Design and Special Features

True to Audi's custom, the interior of the 2011 TT is beautifully crafted. The flat-bottom wheel and supportive front seats give the interior a sporty feel, while the coupe's hatchback design and fold-down rear seats offer practicality plus ample luggage space to the tune of 23 cubic feet with those seats folded. The two-seat roadster has a lightweight fabric-trimmed power top that folds down flush with the rear bodywork, enabling the car to retain its clean lines with the top down.

In its short decade-and-some-change on the market, the Audi TT has taken a couple of paths to stardom. Zero-to-60 mph times fell, and road going grip rose, and the TT nudged noticeably toward true sport scar territory.

For 2011, the TT is pushing even harder for recognition as a sports car. There's very little change on the TT's plate this model year, other than some refigured option packages and some new interior colors.
