Audi presents the facelifted TT model

Audi has unveiled the mid-generation facelift for its TT model range. The TT has seen its design revised and its engine range has been updated with new technologies that have lowered the fuel consumption of the compact sports car. Audi is introducing with the facelifted TT range the new 2.0 TFSI that has an output of 211 hp with an average fuel consumption of 6.6 liters per 100 km.

In terms of the exterior design the main changes made on the new TT Coupe and TT Roadster include a new bumper, which features larger air inlets with three-dimensional out edges and the fog lights set in chrome rings. New TT features also include the daytime running lights at the lower edge of the headlights, tubular reflectors on the tail lights, which add visual depth to the rear end of the car, and a spoiler that extends at at 120 km/h, improving downforce.

The changes made on the TT Coupe and the TT Roadster added two centimeters in length to both cars, with width and height remaining unchanged.

The new TT Coupe and Roadster are powered by three four-cylinder engines with turbocharging and direct fuel injection. The three powertrain continue to deliver the performance to which customers are used in the TT lineup and combine it with enhanced efficiency, with fuel consumption being reduced by up to 14 per cent.

The new 2.0 TFSI with 211 hp will be replacing the 2.0 TFSI 200hp and the 3.2 in the new TT range. Fitted with a manual transmission this engine enables the TT to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 6.1 and to reach a top speed of 245 km/h. The TT 2.0 TFSI will also be available with a six-speed S tronic and Quattro permanent all-wheel drive, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.6 seconds.

In the 2.0 TFSI engine power, torque and efficiency have been increased thanks to the Audi valvelift system AVS. With a torque of 350 Nm, available between1,600 and 4,200 rpm, when equipped with a manual transmission the TT 2.0 TFSI has a fuel consumption of 6.6 liters per 100 km and produces 154 g/km of CO2 emissions.

As for the 1.8 TFSI engine it is fitted with a six-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive producing a maximum power of 160 hp and a torque of 250 Nm, between 1,500 rpm and 4,500 rpm. In the Coupe variant it goes from a standing position up to 100 km/h in 7.2 seconds. Reaching a top speed of 226 km/h it has a consumption of 6.4 liters of fuel per 100 km and emits 149 grams of CO2/km.

The TT continues to be the only sports car with a diesel engine in its segment. The 2.0 TDI engine, in the TT Coupe has a consumption of 5.3 liters per 100 km, with CO2 emissions of 139 g/km. These values correspond to a powertrain that produces a maximum output of 170 hp and 350 Nm of torque, between 1,750 and 2,500 rpm. Fitted with a manual transmission and quattro all-wheel drive it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.5 seconds, reaching a top speed of 226 km/h.

The TTS and TT RS versions have also been updated. In the Audi TTS case, both in Coupe and Roadster body styles, it will be powered by the two-liter TFSI engine with the large turbocharger with an output of 272 hp and 350 Nm of torque. Thanks to the optional S tronic transmission it goes from 0 to 100km/h in 5.2 seconds and runs up to a top speed of 250 km/h. It has an average consumption of 7.7 liters of fuel per 100 km.

With a turbocharged inline 5-cylinder engine the TT RS continues to be spearhead of the TT model series. Its engine produces an output of 340 hp and a maximum of torque of 450 Nm from the 2.5 litres of displacement. Accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds and with an electronically controlled top speed of 250km/h, the TT RS has an average consumption of 9.2 liters of fuel per 100 km. On request quattro GmbH can rise the top speed up to 280 km/h.
