2014 Audi TTS Competition coming with more performance

Half a million Audi TT sports cars are definitely worth celebrating and the new 2014 Audi TTS competition will be coming with high-performance and exclusivity. The first Audi TT made its debut in 1998 as a Coupe and as a Roadster the year after. Fifteen years later Audi has seen production of the 500,000th Audi TT and it gets new TTS competition Coupe and Roadster versions to celebrate.

They will begin rolling off the assembly line October 2013 with more horsepower and only 500 of the special edition models will be built making them ultra-exclusive. What sets the new Audi TTS competition apart will be the additional horsepower under the hood. All regular Audi TT variants produce 211 hp. But the 500 exclusive special edition models will feature a 2.0-liter TFSI engine that produces 272 horsepower and 258 lb. ft of torque.

Significant bump in power shows in performance.
