The Audi sits in between the C 300 and RC 300 when it comes to price. The Audi’s engine puts out the lowest power, but the comparatively higher torque helps it with faster 0-60 timings and ¼ timings. In terms of performance, the C 300 Coupe has an edge with balanced power and torque numbers of 255hp and 273lb.-ft. Surprisingly, the Lexus that comes equipped with a Naturally Aspirated V6 and produces the highest power, is the slowest of the lot taking 6.4 seconds to the 60mph mark, 0.2 seconds slower than the BMW 4-Series 430i.
How well does the 2020 Audi TT Coupe handle?
When it comes to handling, the 2020 Audi TT is as good as it looks. The steering feels light and smooth, and the lower curb weight means responsive steering and well-balanced driving. The Quattro AWD drivetrain makes it easier for the driver to drive on bad road conditions, snow, sand, and jittery surfaces.
The lighter body and lower center of gravity result in minimal body roll while taking sharp turns and it treads confidently in curves. But, the suspension is on the firmer side, as a result, the car shakes significantly on bad roads. The vibrations are even more noticeable if you’re seated at the back. To sum up, in short, the 2020 TT offers good handling, but Audi has to work on comfort. While the base trim has ample power to satisfy daily needs, the higher-placed TTS and TT RS models are quick-firing and exhilarating.
2020 Audi TT Braking Performance
Audi has fitted the 2020 TT with disc brakes on all the wheels. The front comes fitted with 12.3” ventilated disc brakes, while 11.8” solid disc brakes come fitted at the rear.

Slam down the brakes and the 2020 Audi TT comes to stop from 60 mph within 103 feet.

The Audi TT offers the best braking potential. There are a couple of reasons behind the shortest distance of braking. First, the lowest curb weight, and secondly, the responsive brakes. Mercedes C 300 comes to a stop from 60-0MPH in 124 feet; this is due to the fact it is heavy and comes equipped with the smallest brake rotors in the lot. The BMW 430i has similarly sized rotors as the Mercedes-Benz that measure 13 and 11.8-inch at the front and rear. However, its performance statistics are not known, but the coupe manages to come to a halt from the 70 MPH mark at 162 ft.
