The mightly 2.5-litre turbocharged five-cylinder petrol engine pumps out...wait for it...395bhp, and sounds superb — even more so if you opt for the Roadster and put the roof down. With standard quattro four-wheel drive the Coupé can hit 0-62mph in a claimed 3.7sec, while the Roadster is only just behind that. The dual-clutch automatic gearbox is usefully responsive when you're driving hard and changes smoothly when you're cruising.

Sports

Audi is a brand that sets the standard for interior quality, and this, combined with its vast and ever-growing model line-up, has helped it become one of the ‘big three’ German prestige car makers, along with BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

The A3 hatchback, A4 executive saloon and Q7 SUV have all won their classes at the What Car? Car of the Year Awards in recent years, while the TT coupé is the most decorated car in the history of the ceremony.

At least some of Audi's success over the past 30 years can be attributed to the growth in sales of vehicles with four-wheel drive; the company arguably led the way in bringing 4x4 technology into the mainstream, with its Quattro coupé in the early 1980s.

Today, most Audis are available with at least the option of four-wheel drive, while the list of SUVs from the brand includes the Q2, Q3, Q5 and Q7.

Audi TT RS

Few similarly priced sports cars can match the outright pace and beautifully constructed interior of the Audi TT RS, but it isn’t the sharpest model in its class to drive. Most obviously, the Porsche 718 Cayman shows it up in the corners, but similarly priced versions of that car have coarse four-cylinder engines, whereas the five-cylinder unit in the TT RS sounds epic.

<h2>What we're looking for:</h2><ul><li>Ride comfort shouldn’t be sacrificed at the altar of handling sharpness</li> <li>Plenty of power from a melodic engine</li> <li>Handling that doesn’t come at the expense of a back-breaking ride​​​​​</li> <li> Practicality is not essential but nice to have </li></ul>

Driving fun is right at the top of any sports car buyer's priority list, and every one of our award candidates has backroad entertainment coded into its DNA.
