Audi TT S Line Competition Joins The Family, Retails From €41,940


Audi has come up with a special edition of the latest generation TT, dubbed S Line Competition. 

Set to go on sale from the end of the year in Germany, carrying a starting price of €41,940 ($47,034) for the Coupe and €44,340 ($49,725) for the Roadster, it's available with the 2.0-liter TFSI engine that develops 230 horsepower. The output is channeled to the front wheels through either a six-speed manual gearbox or an S Tronic, or to the Quattro AWD through an S Tronic. 

Compared to the basic version, it sits by 10 mm (0.4 in) closer to the road thanks to the sport suspension with firm spring/damper settings, and it comes with standard Audi Drive Select, allowing whoever is holding the wheel to modify the car's characteristics in one of the five modes: auto, comfort, dynamic, efficiency and individual.

On the outside, it sports high-gloss black finishes for the front blade, side mirror casings, diffuser insert, and fixed rear wing, while the tailpipes carry a black chrome look. The limited edition TT sits on 19-inch wheels, with a glossy black five-spoke blade design, wrapped in 245/35 tires, spinning around the red-painted brake calipers. As for the exterior colors, the brand with the four rings offers Glacier White, Nano Gray, Tango Red and the new Ara Blue. 

Inside, the new Audi TT S Line Competition features S sport seats, flat-bottomed steering wheel, Audi Virtual Cockpit, leather and Alcantara mix on the seats and door armrests, slate gray chrome paint finish on the clip around the center console, seat trims and air vents, all offered at no extra cost. Pay a little extra and you can unlock the optional Fine Nappa leather and pneumatic adjustment for the seats' side supports.

Limited Edition Ford GT 'Competition Series' Is All About The Track

Image
Ford's new GT Competition Series was built with weight-saving in mind, but also with an improved center of gravity for better road-holding. Among its features, you'll notice the lightweight carbon fiber racing stripes, A-Pillars and side mirrors, as well as the unique race-inspired Perspex acrylic engine hatch with integrated venting. Thanks to the manual latch and the carbon fiber prop rod, weight near the roof has been reduced, though Ford engineers went even further in their quest to make the car lighter, by making the bulkhead Gorilla Glass behind the driver about half as thick (and as light) as on other models. "The Ford GT has racing in its blood," said Ford exec Raj Nair, while adding that the Competition Series "was developed with the most hardcore track enthusiasts in mind, providing a tailored set of lightweight features and unique livery to match." There are also plenty of remaining performance features from the production car, such as

Alpine A110 Hits Geneva With Pure, Legende And GT4 Versions

Image
Renault’s reborn Alpine brand has been getting rave reviews for its new A110 and now, as promised, it’s revealed new versions of its coupe at the Geneva Motor Show. Following the success of the sold-out Premiere Edition, the A110 will now be offered in Pure and Legende trims. The A110 Pure is targeted at driving enthusiasts. It features one-piece Sabelt sports seats that weigh barely more than 13 kilograms (28.6 pounds) each and, combined with other weight-saving measures, helps keep the curb weight below 1,100 kg ( 2,425 lbs). It’s not entirely stripped out, though, and still comes with features like air-conditioning and satellite navigation. Buyers can also add upgraded Brembo brakes and an adaptive exhaust system and can upgrade to the adjustable comfort seats. Those come standard on the Legende model, which is geared more towards every day driving and grand touring and comes with leather upholstery. Customers can also choose between two Focal sound systems and two wheel

Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet Is A Crossover For Droptop Lovers

Image
Droptop crossovers have always been rather odd and the T-Roc Cabriolet is no different. It will be the only convertible Volkswagen on sale for the foreseeable future and will celebrate its public debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Rather than simply removing the roof of the standard T-Roc, Volkswagen has drastically altered the vehicle’s structure and body. In fact, its wheelbase is 37 mm longer than the standard T-Roc while its overall length is up by 34 mm. In addition, the Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet features structural strengthening in the underbody, side panels, cross members, doors, and windscreen frame to make up for the lack of a roof. The folding fabric roof developed by Volkswagen retracts in just nine seconds at speeds of up to 19 mph (30.5 km/h) and is similar in operation to the roof of the outgoing Golf Cabriolet. The presence of the soft top reduces trunk space by 161 liters down from the 284 liters of the run-of-the-mill T-Roc. We don’t think bu
