2008 Audi TT Roadster Car Review (Trailer)

From the moment we saw it as a concept car in 1995, the Audi TT cast a rather unique shadow. Audi really blew us away as they brought a car to market that was both organic in nature, symmetrical to the eye and bore the name of one of the most exciting road races in history!

The Audi TT Roadster is about as unique a convertible as you can get, and once inside you feel like a real open top sports car driver. She handles superbly and rewards you at every turn. So - while there may be harder edged sports cars out there - if you are after a stylish, energetic and definitely individual driving experience then pop out and get behind the wheel of the Audi TT Roadster.

2008 Audi TT Roadster

Driving in the mountains of the French Cote d'Azur is an unexpected December treat - especially when the sun shines warmly and the top of your suave roadster is down.

Audi lucked out with the world introduction of its Audi TT Roadster, in getting Europe's warmest winter in years. And while Audi can't control the weather, they can control the elements that go into a great convertible - and the new topless TT proves they can do it well.

Coming to America
The second generation of Audi's new sports car arrived earlier this year, and impressed us with its matured looks and with the excellent handling of both models - the front-wheel-driven 2.0 TFSI four-cylinder and the 3.2-liter V-6 with quattro all-wheel drive.

Both engines will be available in the 2008 TT Roadster that is expected to hit the North American market in September.

Both engines are a delight. The 2.0-liter turbocharged four delivers 200 hp and 207 lb-ft of torque, and is teamed to a six-speed manual gearbox, while the sequential automatic six-speed S-Tronic transmission will be available. It's a muscular four-cylinder with one of the most linear power deliveries of any turbo powerplant we know.

The 3.2-liter six-cylinder has 250 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque and has the S-tronic transmission (formerly DSG) standard. Its growl is considerably throatier than the turbo four, and it does deliver some additional power, along with a hefty increase in price.
