The 3.2 Quattro models will feature a 250-hp V6 engine and Quattro all-wheel drive. A six-speed manual transmission is standard on the 3.2 Quattro, with a six-speed S tronic gearbox optional.

Along with quality Audi parts, standard equipment on the 2008 TT includes automatic climate control, electromechanical power steering, 17-inch alloy wheels, keyless entry with alarm, cruise control and a leather-wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel, and for the music lovers - the Audi Concert audio system with an in-dash CD changer and MP3 capability.

Meanwhile if you're a really into Audi TT upgrades, why not get your hands on the Abt Sportsline-tuned Audi TT-R, which all but spells "agression"?

The German Audi tuner tweaked the TT model range, topping the lineup with a 355-horsepower TT-R equipped with a VR6 3.2-liter engine that takes the car from zero to 62 mph in 5.1 seconds, versus 5.9 seconds for the standard model. Even the TT with the base 2.0 TFSI engine gets a boost to 270 hp, with maximum torque of 258 pound-feet. The standard model produces 200 hp and 207 lb-ft.

The new 2.0-liter TT was also modified with intelligent Sport technology, which allows the car to be fueled with standard, super or "super plus" gas. The TT-R gets such exterior touches as a four-pipe rear muffler, rear skirt inset and rear wing.

So which Audi is yours?
