2015 ZigWheels Awards: Sportscar of the Year Audi TT

The Sportscar category is quickly growing in popularity in a new age India where more than a few individuals have the means to buy some of the best machines that are available globally. With marques like Ferrari officially re-entering India and brands like Mercedes, Audi and BMW bringing in their latest and best metal, this is most definitely the most exciting category of the 2015 Times Auto awards powered by ZigWheels. 

And among the six sportscar nominees, the Audi TT impressed our judges the most. This is no volume seller. This doesn't even qualify as practical. But, is a lot of fun! If it is sports car thrills you want in a manageable and not exactly heart achingly expensive package, then the new Audi TT is the one to go for. It really is exceptional.

The new third generation Audi TT is a great looking car; that’s one box checked. But, instead of being well rounded, like the original, this one is more cutting edge, more futuristic and to us, more palatable. The 2015 Audi TT also exudes technological flare courtesy the MQB modular platform it is based on; the same platform that underpins the Audi A3, the Skoda Octavia and the yet to be launched Skoda Superb. 

Nominees: Mercedes AMG GT-S, Audi TT, DC Avanti, Ferrari 488 GTB, Ferrari F12, BMW i8
