-Audi’s stylish third-generation TT sports car goes on sale soon. How do we know? The company has released pricing for the base TT coupe and convertible, plus the sportier TTS coupe; Audi also has outlined the cars’ standard features, option packages, and more. The TT is all-new for 2016, sharing its MQB underpinnings with a plethora of recent VW Group products, and while it’s plain to see the car is as attractive as ever, we’ve driven all three versions—coupe, roadster, and TTS—and can report that they’re also as fun to drive as ever.
For 2016, Audi didn’t change much on the TT’s standard-equipment list, adding only its new MMI Touch infotainment controller (with a touch-sensitive pad that can discern finger writing) and LED headlights to an already comprehensive roster. Carryover features include Quattro all-wheel drive, a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, automatic climate control, auto-dimming mirrors, a Homelink garage-door opener, heated 12-way power front seats, a leather and faux-suede-trimmed interior, a flat-bottom steering wheel with shift paddles, 18-inch wheels, and LED taillights. The TTS model adds sports seats with adjustable bolsters; 19-inch wheels; and special engine, exhaust, and suspension tuning.

-Despite only minimal content changes, the 2016 TT coupe is $2580 dearer than last year’s model, ringing in at a rich $43,825. The roadster is $3500 more than the coupe, and $3080 more expensive than last year’s topless TT. The mighty TTS’s price barely budges—at $52,825, it’s just $730 pricier than the 2015 TTS. Yet-to-be-priced options include 19-inch wheels with summer tires for the TT, sport seats for the roadster, red brake calipers for the TTS, and a 680-watt Bang & Olufsen sound system.

Buyers will be able to select from among a Technology package (TT coupe and roadster only, includes navigation, front and rear parking sensors, backup camera, and blind-spot monitoring); an Audi Design package (brown Nappa leather, slate-gray interior trim, extended leather package, aluminum inlays, and sport seats); as well as the Launch Edition package (TTS only, includes Mythos Black paint, red Nappa leather interior, extended leather package, special 19-inch wheels, red-painted brake calipers, Bang & Olufsen sound system, piano-black inlays, and the Technology package). Prices for the packages, like those for the options, are not out yet, nor are final EPA fuel-economy estimates. Look for those to appear closer to the TT’s on-sale date.
