AUDI has unveiled a new design study, the Audi TTs Toadster at the Tokyo Motorshow, a variation on the Audi TT Coupe theme that stole the show at the IAA in Frankfurt in September. The Audio TTS is based on the Audi TT's quattro running gear.

The Audi TTS is the work of the same young team of designers and engineers that developed the Audi TT.

The character of the Audi TTS is based on a principle of reduction. Every detail, both visual and technical has been scrutinised to eliminate the unnecessary and create an effect of substance and maturity.

This is emphasised by the use of aluminium and the design of handles, mirrors and interior equipment.

The engine is a 1.8 litre turbocharged unit with five valves per cylinder developing 210 bhp.

This gives the Audi TTS a projected top speed in the region of 150mph with 0-62mph taking about six seconds.

The TTS returns an average of below 31.4mpg.
