The 2009 Audi TT adds a new model to its roster, the TTS. Four-seat Coupe hatchback and two-seat Roadster convertible models are available. Base Coupes and Roadsters are called 2.0T and have front-wheel drive or Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive. They use a turbocharged 200-hp 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine. Both body styles are also available as the AWD 3.2 quattro and use a 250-hp 3.2-liter V6. A 6-speed manual transmission is standard on 3.2s.

Optional on those and standard on the 2.0T is a 6-speed automatic transmission. The TTS also gets a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder, but in this guise, it makes 265 hp. The TTS only comes with the automatic transmission. It has standard 18-inch wheels, along with slightly sportier exterior styling and unique interior trim.

Available safety equipment on all TTs includes ABS, traction control, antiskid system, and front side airbags. The 2009 Audi TT has standard leather upholstery and automatic climate control.

The 2010 Audi A3 lineup sees a few changes, including the addition of a new diesel model. This 4-door hatchback is smaller and less costly than Audi’s A4 compacts. A3 comes with a choice of two engines. 2.0T versions have a 200-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine.

It’s available with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed dual-clutch automated manual that behaves much like an automatic. The 2.0 TDI has a 140-horsepower turbodiesel 4-cylinder and the automatic only. The V6-powered 3.2 S line has been discontinued. All A3s have front-wheel drive. Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive is available on automatic-transmission 2.0Ts.

The Audi TT has always been a stylish little coupe and roadster that’s more of a fashion statement than a sporting machine. The second-generation TT introduced two years ago comes closer to being a driver’s car, but compared to Porsches, BMWs and the Nissan Z, it’s still a foxy stiletto to their cross-training Nikes. The 2010 Audi TTS represents Audi’s attempt to bring the TT up to speed. It’s a high-energy variant with enhanced performance and handling for those who want a little verve with their fashion. Like Audi’s other S variants, the TTS starts by adding more power. With the demise of the V6-powered TT 3.2 for this model year, the TTS becomes the only choice for shoppers who want more power than the standard 2.0T provides. And more power they’ll certainly get, as the TTS features 265 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque — the product of adding a bigger turbocharger and intercooler (among other bits) to the 2.0T’s turbocharged four-cylinder. The result is a car that can keep up with other performance-minded sport coupes and roadsters, including Porsche’s base Boxster and Cayman and the BMW Z4.

The ancient Egyptians had to wait about 20 years for the Great Pyramid of Giza to be completed. “Star Wars” fans sat around 16 years before the prequel movies came out. For Audi sports car nuts, a similarly long length of anticipation has been endured. Ever since the TT coupe debuted for 2000, people have been wondering when a high-performance “S” version would be arriving. Well, nine years later, the 2009 Audi TTS is finally here. But sort of like “The Phantom Menace,” the question must be asked: Was it worth the wait? Like other Audi S variants, the TTS builds on the TT luxury coupe and convertible foundation with more power, a sportier suspension and unique styling details. Normally, Audi fits a V6 to its top TT models, but for the TTS the company chose to stay with the base model’s turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. This direct-injection mill has been modified with a larger turbo, a bigger intercooler and a variety of other bits to produce 265 horsepower.
