Audi TT S Line competition

Audi has introduced an S Line Competition version of the TT that dresses things up with the S Line sport and exterior packages, plus a few extra features at reduced cost. Globally, it can be fitted to any TT with up to 211 horsepower, which for us means the standard 2.0 TFSI coupe since we don't get the diesel or smaller gas engines.

New bumpers, sills, badging, Xenon headlights, rear diffuser, matte black trim and exhaust finishers are among the kit, capped at the back by a spoiler that calls to mind the TT RS. The package sits 10 millimeters lower on the S Line suspension on black, 19-inch Rotor wheels. Inside, the S Line shout-out continues with the logoed sills, aluminum-look bits, leather and Alcantara with contrasting stitching, a reshaped steering wheel and a short shifter on models equipped with manual transmissions.

It's available now in four colors, Samoa Orange metallic, Glacier White metallic, Daytona Gray pearl effect and Misano Red pearl effect, and adds €4,300 ($5,410 U.S.) to the price in Europe. We're still awaiting U.S. pricing, but it probably won't be far off $4,300 in dollars since package prices are numerically close here and in Europe; the S Line pack is €1,400 in Germany and $1,200 here.

Exclusive dynamics at an attractive price

- Special edition of the Audi sports car now available
- S line sport package, S line exterior package and other exclusive equipment
- Package price of just €4,300 with price benefits

Ingostadt, 2012-07-03 -- Audi is boosting the character of its sports car with the TT Coupé S line competition special edition. Available for all engine versions up to 155 kW (211 hp), the special edition of the Audi TT combines all the elements of the S line sport package and the S line exterior package, and adds new and exclusive features – all for an attractive package price of just €4,300.

The TT Coupé S line competition special edition makes no secret of its exclusive status. The S line exterior package includes specially designed bumpers, air inlets and side sills, S line badges, tailpipe trims and a distinctive diffuser insert. There is also a fixed rear wing like on the Audi TT RS. Xenon plus headlights with LED daytime running lights provide excellent visibility in the dark.

The paint finishes Samoa Orange, metallic, Glacier White, metallic, Daytona Gray, pearl effect and Misano Red, pearl effect are available at no extra charge. With the sporty black styling package, the radiator grille is framed in high-gloss black while the radiator grille insert, the license plate frame and the applications on the front fog light grille are matt black. Other S line competition elements in high-gloss black are the exterior mirror housings, the blade below the front bumper, the diffuser insert, the tailpipe trims and the rear wing spoiler. The imposing 19-inch wheels in a five-arm "Rotor" design are also painted black and shod with 255/35 series tires. The taut S line sport suspension lowers the chassis by 10 millimeters (0.39 mm).

The interior of the TT Coupé S line competition also offers the features of the S line sport package, including the special door sill trims, the extended aluminum-look trim, the leather package, the sport seats and the short shift travel for the manual transmissions. As in the TT RS, the rim of the leather multifunction sport steering wheel is more strongly contoured and flattened at the bottom. Piping surrounds the floor mats.

The seats come standard with perforated Alcantara upholstery in combination with black leather and silver contrast stitching. S line logos adorn the backrests. The color black dominates the interior. The inlays are made of matt brushed aluminum; with the Samoa Orange exterior finish, these are replaced by inlays with a reflex finish in the body color.

The TT Coupé S line competition special edition is now available worldwide and can be combined with additional options and trim lines. The package price of €4,300 saves customers roughly 50 percent versus the price of the options ordered separately.

This offer boosts the sports car character of the TT and complements the attractive Audi exclusive line packages already available: from the Audi exclusive line Black, which is painted exclusively in Panther Black, crystal effect, to the Audi exclusive line Ice with black and silver seat upholstery to the Audi exclusive line Color, in which the exterior colors red, blue or gray are carried over into the interior in the form of colored inlays and contrast stitching.
