Twenty-five years on from the introduction of the ground-breaking Audi Quattro, Audi is boosting the power and cutting the weight of the TT. The new quattro Sport sports engine modifications that increase maximum power to 237bhp produced lower down the rev range at 5,700rpm, and torque from 206lb-ft to 236lb-ft between 2,300rpm and 5,000rpm.
Weight has also been pared back by replacing the spare wheel with a tyre mobility system, and the parcel shelf and rear seat with a stability bar that also improves torsional rigidity for optimum handling. The result is a drop in kerb weight of 49Kg to 1,416Kg.
Audi reckons the car can now sprint from rest to 62mph in 5.9 seconds, topping out at a limited 155mph. Brakes have been upgraded to those from the 3.2 quattro models. 
Other revisions include suspension settings and wheel configuration. Exclusive 18-inch, 15-spoke alloy wheels with a slightly increased rim width at the rear (8.5J versus 8J) help to maximise grip and composure in conjunction with the quattro permanent four-wheel-drive system.
Externally, the TT Coupé quattro Sport is marked out by a unique two-tone paint finish combining a Phantom Black colour for the roof, pillars and mirror housings with the option of Mauritius Blue, Misano Red, Avus Silver or Phantom Black paint work for the remainder of the body. It also gets a sports styling package normally reserved for the 3.2 V6 quattro models.
Inside, the Recaro bucket seats are upholstered in leather and Alcantara as are the steering wheel, gear knob and hand brake grip.
Limited to 1,000 right-hand-drive examples, the new Audi TT Coupé quattro Sport is now available to order for £29,355 OTR for first deliveries in May 2005.
