The new Audi TT 2.0TDI has been awarded a coveted five-star rating in the latest edition of the car buyer’s bible What Car? Reviewers stated that the new diesel model was a superb addition to the TT range and one of the best coupé buys on the market.

 

Powered by the 168bhp 2.0-litre unit the new addition to the range does over 50mpg and attracts a lowly 18 per cent company car tax rating. However, it can still embarrass many a hot hatch, blasting you to 62mph in just 7.5 seconds.

“The engine uses the latest common-rail direct-injection technology, so it revs quickly, and builds speed smoothly and swiftly as you accelerate up through the gearbox. Even when it’s being trashed, it stays hushed and rattle free”, said the What Car? testers.

The review is published in the October edition of What Car? now on sale.

Latest Audi common rail diesel engine blends torque-rich sports car punch and extraordinary efficiency in latest TT modelsThe Acclaimed Audi TT Coupé and Roadster models adopt a diesel engine for the first time in their 10-year history

The World public debut is at the Geneva Palexpo (March 6th to 16th 2008) – scheduled to open for UK order in early March 2008 priced from £26,350 OTR for summer 2008 deliveries

Powered by the latest 2.0-litre, four-cylinder TDI engine with ultra-efficient common rail fuel injection incorporating piezo injectors

The diesel TT is already compliant with proposed Euro 5 emissions legislation, and over 20 per cent more CO2-efficient than petrol equivalent.

TT TDI Coupe 0-62mph in 7.5 seconds, top speed 140mph, 53.3mpg combined consumption, CO2 140g/km

TT TDI Roadster 0-62mph in 7.7 seconds, top speed 138mph, 51.3mpg combined consumption, CO2 145g/km

The world’s first bona fide diesel-powered sports car – the new 140mph Audi TT 2.0 TDI quattro – brings 50mpg-plus fuel economy, a 23 per cent reduction in CO2 output and EU5 compliance to the 2008 Geneva Motor Show (March 6th to 16th). Far from being just a flight of fancy, the latest TT is fully production-ready, and opens for UK order in Coupe and Roadster body styles on Thursday March 6th priced from £26,350 OTR. First deliveries are expected in summer 2008.

The ideal TT TDI engine, which not only had to complement the much-loved character of the TT but also had to fit transversely into its compact engine bay, arrived recently in the space-efficient shape of the latest 2.0-litre, four-cylinder TDI with performance and refinement-boosting common rail fuel injection incorporating advanced piezo injection technology. Launched to critical acclaim in the new A4 Saloon in 143PS form, the economical new powerhouse transfers to the TT with an upgrade to 170PS, and an impressive 350Nm maximum torque output – more than even the 3.2-litre V6 petrol model can muster.

Spurred on by a new turbo charger with adjustable vanes that allow rapid torque build-up, and by the sophisticated common rail injection system, whose advanced piezo injector nozzles can perform up to five distinct injection sequences per cycle, the new engine offers more than enough performance to dispel any lingering doubts about sports car compatibility.

Spinning freely to its 5,000rpm limit, and doing so without fuss thanks not only to its high-tech injection technology but also to refinement-boosting balancer shafts, the TT 2.0 TDI quattro Coupe with six-speed manual transmission takes just 7.5 seconds to reach 62mph. A top speed of 140mph is possible where conditions allow, and the stamina-building influence of TDI is made abundantly clear by a combined consumption figure of 53.3mpg.

The stride forward in efficiency over the outgoing 2.0-litre TDI engine also shows in a CO2 figure of 140g/km for the Coupé – over 20 per cent less than the 2.0 TFSI petrol model – and in a drastic reduction in untreated emissions of oxides of nitrogen. Improvements in combustion chamber thermodynamics mean the new engine can run on up to 60 per cent recycled exhaust that has been cooled by the radiator, and ensure the 2.0 TDI already complies with proposed Euro 5 emission limits.

Lightweight Audi Space Frame (ASF)
The impressive all-round performance of the new TT 2.0 TDI quattro is also due in no small part to its lightweight Audi Space Frame aluminium and steel hybrid body shell, which contributes to impressively low kerb weights of 1,370kg for the TT 2.0 TDI quattro Coupe and 1,415kg for the TT 2.0 TDI quattro Roadster.

The undivided attention to weight-saving also proves its worth in the comfort of the TT’s ride and the nimbleness of its handling, which in the best traditions of all higher-torque sporting Audis is backed up by quattro permanent four-wheel-drive. The space-age Audi magnetic ride adaptive damping system, employing specially developed dampers filled with a magnetic fluid that reacts to an electrical charge, will also be available as an option for driving enthusiasts who want to extract the very best from the sophisticated aluminium-rich suspension.

Standard UK specification for the new TT 2.0 TDI quattro mirrors the familiar 2.0 TFSI petrol version, offering features such as 17-inch Trapez alloy wheels, leather and Alcantara-upholstered sports seats, electronic climate control and an MP3-compatible 140-watt Audi Concert audio system with single CD drive. The Roadster adds a fully automatic electrically operated soft-top and integrated wind deflector.

The ‘S’ emblem that spells extraordinary performance in the Audi range graces the TT for the first time this month in a new, even more focused version of the iconic sports car debuting at the North American International Auto Show (January 19-27). Destined for the UK in mid-2008 in both Coupé and Roadster body styles, the TTS earns its esteemed badge through the adoption of a specially developed, 272PS Turbo FSI petrol engine complemented by state-of-the-art chassis technology.
 
Extensive revisions to the acclaimed 2.0-litre turbo charged and directly fuel injected petrol engine that already powers the TT have enabled its power to be boosted from 200PS to 272PS and its torque from 280Nm to 350Nm, available between 2,500 and 5,000rpm. Linked to six-speed, close ratio manual transmission the enhanced unit slingshots the TTS Coupé from rest to 62mph in just 5.2 seconds, and on the Autobahn is only curtailed by its electronic limiter at 155mph. With the optional S tronic dual-clutch automatic transmission acceleration times are reduced by a further two-tenths of a second in both the Coupé and Roadster.
In addition to the evocative ‘S’ insignia, the most extreme production TT to date highlights its capabilities from the front through newly designed bi-xenon headlamps incorporating trademark Audi LED strip daytime running lights, a redesigned front apron incorporating larger air intakes and aluminium-look door mirror housings. The profile view is enhanced by deeper side skirts and exclusive 18-inch alloy wheels, which can be swapped for 19-inch alternatives at extra cost, while at the rear a revised rear bumper with – for the first time in a TT – four tailpipes protruding from its extended diffuser subtly conveys the newcomer’s extra performance potential.Inside, deep-set Alcantara and leather combination sports seats, exclusive ‘S’ instruments with white needles, metal pedals and special aluminium trim elements enhance the already very highly regarded sports interior.Audi Space Frame (ASF)
Streamlined by its revolutionary lightweight Audi Space Frame aluminium and steel hybrid body shell, and pinned to the road by a comprehensively modified, quattro four-wheel-drive-equipped chassis, the new TTS has been designed to maximise the TT’s inherent fun factor while retaining its safe, surefooted feel. Reworked power steering and enlarged brakes help the driver to profit fully from the exceptional performance, and to guarantee the highest degree of agility in all situations the space-age Audi magnetic ride adaptive damping system is fitted as standard.

The magnetic ride system’s sophisticated dampers are filled with a magnetorheological fluid containing minute magnetic particles that can be influenced by an electromagnetic field. By applying a voltage to the system’s electromagnets, the viscosity of the fluid is altered by the affected magnetic particles, increasing resistance to damper movement to iron out pitch and roll when necessary, and reducing resistance when ride comfort takes precedence.
The new sports model is not only notable as the first TT to become a member of the esteemed Audi ‘S quattro series’, which numbers extra special models such as the 450PS S8 quattro among its ranks. Significantly, it also debuts on the tenth anniversary of the TT, the Coupé version of which became an overnight sensation following its launch in 1998.

Audi TT Coupe Audi TT CoupeAudi TT Coupe

 All the visual clues were right. So were the hints gathered from the technical description. The new Audi TT is indeed much more of a sports car then the old one.

For a start, it’s pretty quick. There are two versions, one using Audi’s 200bhp 2.0 Turbo FSi engine – the one that’s most famous from the Golf GTI.

Compared with the old TT’s peaky boost, this engine has a far more even spread of power delivery, kicking up big urge whenever you press the throttle. It’s also smooth and keen to rev, and comes with a bonus big-bore exhaust burble (not too loud, you understand, but just a gentle emphasis).

With this much muscle behind the front driveshafts, you find a fair bit of wheelspin out of tight bends, and when it’s wet. If your daily drive contains lots of wet roundabouts, go for the quattro version.

But it’s not that simple. You can’t get the quattro all-wheel-drive system with the 2.0 engine. You have to trade up to the 3.2-litre V6. Oddly, despite the extra power (250bhp plays 200), the 3.2 feels barely any quicker. That’s because of the extra weight of the two extra cylinders and the rear half of the drive system.

So the quattro is notably quicker out of tight corners because of its extra traction, but otherwise the 2.0 will keep up, and the little bro’ also feels more agile through S-bends. Of course, the V6 has a sweeter engine sound, but not a truly classic one.

So most of the time I’d find it hard justifying the extra price. The 3.2 is £29,285, the 2.0 £24,625.

The new car is wider, its weight is better distributed and it’s got a more sophisticated suspension. And sure enough, the handling is far better than the old car. It corners flatter, there’s much more urgency and accuracy in the steering, it copes with bumps better, and overall it’s extremely trustworthy and capable.

Two things separate it from greatness: the steering hasn’t quite enough feel, and mid-corner throttle adjustments don’t have much effect, especially in the quattro. You get very slight understeer, or slight understeer, and that’s yer lot.

Despite the better handling, the ride is also improved, especially with the optional magnetic-fluid adaptive damping system. You could easily do long journeys with this car: there’s very little wind noise ? although the optional 19s kick up a lot of tyre roar.

And the secure handling, stability and general feeling of taut, solid trustworthiness make it a great companion on a dark, wet night.

I drove it in snow, fog, driving rain and dry sunshine, all in an afternoon. Up some of Europe’s highest mountain roads, down on a no-limit Autobahn, through cobbled towns. It never once felt out of its depth.
