Release Date

The 2023 Audi TT is expected to be released by the fall of 2022.

The 2023 Audi TT comes with a turbocharged 2.0L Inline 4 engine which makes 228 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft of torque. The car comes with a standard AWD and a 7 speed auto shift manual transmission. In traffic, the IS20 turbocharger in the powertrain responds very well to the inputs of your right foot and you'll find the vehicle quite nippy and enjoyable to drive when you're trying to steal a gap between you and the car next to you.

The 2023 Audi TT offers least power and torque delivery as compared to the Toyota Supra, Porsche 718 Cayman and the BMW 2 Series. It is also not the fastest of all as it takes longer than its rivals to reach the speed of 60 MPH. Similarly, the coupe lags behind all in terms of the quarter mile timing. Amongst the four, the quickest acceleration is provided by the 718 Cayman. The 2023 TT has a top speed of 155 MPH which is as per the segment.

2023 Audi TT Ride and Handling

The suspension setup in the 2023 Audi TT consists of strut front suspension w/coil springs and multi-link rear suspension w/coil springs. It is true that the front wheels tend to get favored as this is not a proper quattro AWD, so understeer occurs, while on the other hand, it has the ability to slide when purposefully coaxed into it. If one keeps the front wheels aimed straight along the road, and a flat right foot, you'll be able to pull the TT straight as well. The Electric Power-Assist Speed-Sensing Steering lacks an apt responsiveness, especially while driving through twists and turns. The body roll, however, is negligible due to its compact design and the presence of Front And Rear Anti-Roll Bars. The coupe also maintains its stability with the Electronic Stability Control system.

The 2023 Audi TT comes with vented disc brakes on all four of its wheels The brake pads last about 30,000-70,000 miles depending on the nature of the driving.

The 2023 Audi TT comes with smaller front brake rotors as compared to the Toyota GR Supra and the Porsche 718 Cayman. However, it has bigger rear brake rotors than the 718 Cayman. The data for the BMW 2-Series is yet to be determined. The 2-Series is the heaviest of all, while the Cayman is the lightest one contributing to the overall momentum. Furthermore, the Porsche 718 Cayman covers the least distance to come to a stop while at 60 MPH, followed by the TT and the GR Supra.

The 2023 Audi TT offers a fuel economy of 23 MPG in a city, 30 MPG on a highway, and 25 MPG combined.

It is estimated that the car can travel up to 333.5 miles in a city and 435 miles on a highway over a full tank.

Moreover, the rear seats are useless due to the cramped space and discomfort it offers.
