Audi TTS Coming To America

Our long national nightmare is over — the men of the four rings have announced the Audi TTS will be coming to America. Yep, it won't be long now until the 2.0 liter turbocharged four with its 265 HP and 258 lb.ft of torque will be showing off it's 4.9 second zero to sixty times in the bougie neighborhoods of your fair city. The king of all TT's also gets a set of paddle shifters, magnetic ride gizmos, 18" wheels and the snazzy xenon and LED headlights — how's that for one-upping the Jones's. Expect to see the royal TTS in Audi dealers in the fall. [CarScoop]

Totally Pointless Audi TTS Ad Has Us Scratching Our Heads

Okay, apparently whoever is doing the new ads for the Audi TTS is phoning it in, cause we have no idea what this commercial is trying to tell us. Is the TTS meant for periodic jaunty high speed runs in dry lake beds only to return for the awesome scenery? Perhaps the vaguely homo erotic undertones and selection of that sexy red paint is an attempt to target the elusive and lucrative gay market. Does the ad have a point? Is Audi actually trying to evoke something here? Doesn't seem like it.

Detroit Auto Show: Audi TTS Coupe & Roadster Official Pics, Details

We've now got the official scoop and pics of the Audi TTS Roadster & Coupe that broke through the embargo shields on Tuesday, sans that horrible watermark from Motorpasîon. Confirming what we'd heard, the Audi's will get the more potent 2.0-liter Turbo FSI four banger good for 272 horsepower. This will give them a 0-62 time between 5.4 and 5.6 seconds for the coupe and roadster, respectively. They'll go on sale in the UK sometime around mid year.
