Both TT model lines will be available in 2.0T or 3.2 quattro form. All 2.0T models will have a 200hp 2.0 TFSI engine mated to a six-speed S tronic gearbox.

Audi’s famous S tronic gearbox offers the performance of a manual transmission with the convenience of an automatic, and shifts faster than and any person can at 0.2 seconds per shift.

I know this is going to upset many audi fans but this thing is waaay overpriced. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesnt it sound stupid to pay almost $40,000 for a 2.0T engine that only puts 200 HP and more than likely will break down extremely too often for that price?

OKAY STOP WITH THE BREAKING DOWN $HIT. YOU KNOW IT DOESN'T ACTUALLY HAPPEN.

By the way, everything else in this class (MBZ, BMW, Nissan) is priced just as high, and Porsche is even higher.

I agree with GTR35: $40,000 for the same engine that is used in several VW products, specifically the GTI, which sells for +/- $17,000 less. The 4 cyl. TT @ $40K is overpriced no matter how nice the car is.

You'd never know how good the 2.0T engine, with DSG, is. Until you've driven it.

The only reason they put it in lower-end Audi models is because it DESERVES to be there. If it wasn't adequate, it wouldn't be there.

Oh and- it's as quick as the base Z4 3.0i, which has a de-tuned inline six.

your right it "it deserves to be there"in the lower end, i dont understand the point of this car, i guess the big grill, and the audi badges makes it worth the extra money despite the interior would have been nice in a gti, or a3, the same engine, and which platform is it using????...great job audi

Well the TT starts at $34,800 which is around $9000 more than the Audi A3 with most of the same mechanicals. I guess that's a fair increase for one of the most striking coupe/sports cars made. Myself? I'm going to order an A3 this week because I don't particularly care what my car looks like; only how it drives - and if you guys haven't driven an A3 yet, you're in for a surprise/treat.
