In Detroit Audi has showed 2 new ultimate-sport models - Audi TT-S Roadster and Audi TT-S Coupe.

Both the cars have the same power unit - a modified 2.0-liter TFSI with 272 hp and 350 Nm. The engine works alongside the 6-grade mechanic (DSG comes as an option) and a 4WD system. The cars are able to accelerate to 100 km/h in about 5.2 seconds and the max speed is 250 km/h. At the same time the average fuel consumption is 8.0 liters (coupe) and 8.2 liters (roadster).

As for the brilliant dynamics of the novelties, the engineers offer a more expressive body-kit in shape of a modified front and rear spoiler and ultra-modern suspension system Magnetic Ride, stylish 18-inch rims with 245/50 tires and high-performance braking system.

Other “wonders” are the front bi-xenon with LED-bunch of natural light and a modern interior with sport seats trimmed in alcantara.

The new cars will be available for the audience in the forthcoming summer from 45 000 euro (Coupe) and 48 000 euro (Roadster).

At the beginning of March in Geneva the company BMW is planning to release the luxurious convertible M3 with 420-hp V8.

The only difference from the sedan version – 3-part steel top that unfolds in 22 seconds (the top creates some additional weight of the car – around 230 kg). The 0-100 km/h acceleration takes 5.3 seconds (the coupe – 4.9) and the max speed is 250 km/h.

As for the power train, M3 Cabrio was equipped with a new 7-grade gear-box with double clutch - BMW M DGK, which is to replace the old SMG.
