Convertible version of Audi’s fastest TT yet

As we discovered when we drove the coupe TTS back in issue 119, the combination of a 268bhp version of the ubiquitous VAG turbocharged 2-litre four-cylinder and the traction and security afforded by Audi’s quattro four-wheel-drive system makes for a very rapid TT indeed. And the good news for those who like to drive fast with the wind whistling over their bald patch is that the story remains largely the same for the TTS Roadster.

Yes, losing the roof means it’s not quite as structurally rigid as the coupe, but even the worst roads the Fens have to offer bring only the slightest detectable flexing of the body; it takes cobbles to get the rear-view mirror shuddering. The standard fitment on the TTS of Audi’s Magnetic Ride damping system no doubt helps with the latter, nicely rounding off the edges of a taut ride in its default setting, firmer still, but still not harsh, in Sport.
