About the 2009 Audi TT
2nd generation (8J), second U.S. model year.
Audi sells the 2009 TT as a design-led small sports coupe/roadster that mixes standout styling with everyday usability. The message centers on the TT's iconic shape, driver-focused cabin, lightweight aluminum-and-steel construction, and available quattro traction. Compared with rivals, the TT is less about bare-knuckle track focus and more about giving buyers a polished, upscale sports car that still feels special every time they walk up to it.
The core TT Premium pairs a 200-hp turbo four-cylinder with a quick-shifting six-speed dual-clutch automatic, while Quattro Premium adds all-wheel-drive traction. The 3.2 Quattro Premium Plus combines a 250-hp V6 with heated power seats and bi-xenon headlights, while the new 265-hp TTS is the performance-focused model with adaptive suspension and more aggressive bodywork.
