Competing Z4 with the TT, it's a real motoring down fun, but in practice the Z4 rolls a wee bit more than TT and also understeers earlier. Behind evoking and beautiful design of the Audi, it gives you a very quick ride with a 3litre , V6 petrol engine which is a very quick with style package overall, whereas the Z4 gives you great BMW 3litre, inline 6, petrol engine.

BMW's rear wheel drive, every bit of the 309PS is delivered to the rear wheels and the weight is contained within the wheelbase, credit to huge longitudinal laid out inline 6-cylinder engine mounted behind the front axle line. The Z4's power is manageable which allows you to exploit the Z4 a bit more ways. It's quick too, delivering you 0-100kmph in under 6-seconds with launch control activated.

Talking the TT from Audi is comparatively smaller but wider with wheelbase to track ratio giving it a near square footprint. There goes the first point to Audi ensuring highly stable dynamic character. The Next thing is, it provide power to all four wheels relentlessly. It's aluminium space frame chassis is also balanced perfectly. With quickness, it's a bit slower accelerating to high speeds compared to Z4, because it's 6-cylinder engine makes nearly 50PS less than the Z4, yet a timed lap shows that the TT is a bit more than a few seconds quicker than the Z4.

This comparison turns to be a cat and mouse game when comes on race tracks with the Z4 catching up with the TT on straights and then falling back into the corners.

TT being less powerful but also lighter than Z4, with a nearly matched power to weight ratio for both, the Audi TT gets you little ahead than Z4.
