The beautiful Fat, flat bottom, Multi function steering wheel that is wrapped in thick leather and white stiching with alum. trim
I think it is one of the most beautiful steering wheels in the Market (other than carbon leather s.wheel with LEDs in Scuderia ) and it comes as standart. 
Definately way better than my optional extra thick steering wheel in my ex-911.
Also notice those alum. paddles just behind the s.wheel for gearbox.

The TTS is the best affordable sports coupe with serious performance. It must be also relatively cheap to produce and hence very profitable with all the mechanicals from the VW/Audi parts bin.
In the 60s and 70s this segment was catered for by very good italians cars from Alfa Romeo (GT Junior, GTV) and Lancia (Fulvia, Beta coupe). Then the niche was left to the japanese manufacturers for many years. Fortunately for enthusiasts Audi picked up the idea, after a long gap in the availabilty of european cars in this category and came up with this model.
With a few thousand euros or in other words for the price of a Techart 911 rear silencer, you can buy a remap stage 2, downpipe, damp valve, and larger fuel pump and you are at 330ish HP and 430ish NM of torque in a 1400 kg AWD car.
BUT, S-tronic is the limiting factor for torque.

Thats for sure an impressive car.
I like that seats. I know them from the RS4 - guess they are very similar. They feel good and if they are a bit heavier as the GT3s, I guess this will not matter at all!
What I like most - this car is an underdog. Only the expert can see what si underneath!
Onur my friend,
You need a better camera and some photography classes
.
I must admit that cockpit feeling, acceleration and size of the car is perfect for a sport daily drivable pocket rocket. I also have to admit that if I could get a fair value for my Porsche, I would have get a TTS for a while until I find something that I really really want to own.

Woolfe:
Beautiful Car, thanks for the photos, congratulations.
How are the seats? They look great but are they comfortable?
Thank you for the kind words 
As for the seats; I'm very happy with them. I'm 1.73 / 73 kg, so for my size they are very comfortable; not so tight but supportive enough to keep the body in place. The back and the hight of the seats can be adjusted.
And they look awesome

Kerem,
Be my guest and come to visit me with your 10x Megapixel camera to take pictures of my TTS. Maybe we go further and take pictures of our Cars together.
We should also run our cars against each other before I have remap on the car to see the difference.
I'm especially curious about 40-200 km/h, 100-200 km/h, 120-260 km/h difference between the cars before and after the chip. 
By the way, after the run in (after you had driven the car), it gets a little faster

Ok, Here I have a few more photos of my TTS on the Race Track from April 4th.
Enjoy them 
Here is a shot from Warm up lap.
The other TTS belongs to a nice Guy whom I met on the event.
The 911 is Carrera S w/tipt. and it is my friend's car. It was his first time on the track. He enjoyed it a lot 
The other cars: I don't know who they are.

Here is another shot which shows the other cars at the pit lane.
I know it is dangerous to close the enterance and the exit of the pit 
That F430 which is just in front of my car had Kreisseg Valvetronic F1 exhaust. It sounded marvelous You can here it coming, literally, miles away

The owner of the other TTS put on slick tires with 17" wheels; but he couldn't get significant gains

Well, how the car behaved !
I know this Track very well since I had done hundreds of laps in the past 8 years. I have attended more than 10 track days and raced more than 10 races on this track.
I did the best time of the day with 54.54 sec which was 1 sec. faster than 2nd fastest driver. (well 2nd and 3rd best times also belong to me)
For the first laps, I had to get used the S-Tronic. All of my previous laps were done with a manual transmission cars on this track except my previous event I had with my TTS on a rainy day ( E36 M3 EVO, Honda Civic Type-R cup car and Mitsubishi EVO IX cup car).
The worst thing about S-Tronic on the track (or at anywhere else) is if you lose traction because of excessive wheel spin and if the revs start increasing to the red line while the car doesn't accelerate, S-tronic shifts up to next gear. This is very annoying and I hope PDK doesn't behave like this.
2nd worst thing I dislike was, if you try to downshift too early, S-Tronic doesn't downshift for a while and when the revs drop, it downshifts all of a sudden. You cure this problem by shifting properly. So you don't try to downshift too early as you do in a manual car.
For example, at the back straight you reached approx. 175-178 km/h (this is a fairly slow speed circuit that is 1,9 km long) before start braking down to 100 km/h for a 90 degree right hand turn. If you try to downshift 2 gears too early during the brake, you can't downshift 2 gears. Therefore after the initial brake, you downshift 1 gear and stay on the brakes and then just before start to steer the car into turn you downshift another gear and WELLA
If you try to use the gears as in Playstation game, it reminds you that you can't do whatever you like. So you can call this "You don't have 100% control over the gear box". Well it is correct, but you don't do such things with a manuel transmission, either.
Other than the gearbox, the car has grip. Actually it is all about GRIP, GRIP and GRIP. With my latest camber and caster settings which I had them done just before the event, the car is willing to turn in more eagerly. The toe in settings are closer to 0 degree than factory settings; both front and rear. So you don't oversteer at all but you turn in and go away. The fun factor is low, but the end result and lap times are good. Especially on the front straigh where you have a fast and long right hand turn which is fallowed by a slower and sharp left hand turn, you brake light and go deep in at 140 km/h with the protest of all 4 tires. With an M3 or Carrera S, you would easily lose the back there.
And the brakes? Well they didn't fade during the day, but I must say that I didn't lap too much; only 6-7 laps at a time. The track has 1 strong brake point which is at the end of back straight. Stock brakes are powerful enough to stop the car, no problem with them
And finally; the power of the engine? Ok, it was much slower than my friend's Carrera S with tipt. than I expected. Carrera S is noticable faster than stock TTS with or without tipt. Well at least until the software 
However, it never felt underpowered on this track.
The car was nimble, had sharp turn in response, strong-fade free brakes and decent power to reach almost 180 km/h on fairly slow and short track. Also P Zero Rosso tires behaved very well on a dry track unlike my previous wet track experience.
So everything went well without any accidents and I was the fastest of the day. But still, I prefer to have an M3 at the end of the day, to be honest

Kerem,
There were couple of cameras in the cars but I haven't put an in-cam in the car.
I still want to have a run against your 4S before the software. From 80-90 km/h to 160 km/h, the cars were close but then 911 took off. We have 5-6 cars length in between before I hit the speed limiter.
I guess, 4S still slower than 2S from rolling because of extra 50-60 kg and more drivetrain loss. We have to test and see. It doesn't matter if 4S is faster. I would like to see by how much
