The Audi TT Coupe 2.0 TDI quattro and
Audi TT Roadster 2.0 TDI quattro are the first series-production sports cars
in the world to be powered by diesel engines. The two-liter four-cylinder
engine delivers dynamic thrust, with a power output of 125 kW (170 hp) and
350 Nm (258.15 lb-ft) of torque. On average, however, the TDI in the TT Coupe
requires only 5.3 liters of fuel per 100 km (44.38 mpg) - unbeatably low
consumption in the sports car segment.
Audi is setting the pace with this synthesis
of excellent dynamism and low fuel consumption, as it has been doing for
many years: Since first appearing in 1989, the TDI engines of the brand with
the four rings have set trends for the rest of the automotive industry. Today,
these powerful, refined but highly efficient engines represent a modern,
smart take on sportiness. The run of victories achieved by the Audi R10 TDI
diesel racing car at the Le Mans 24 Hours and in the American Le Mans Series
is impressive evidence of the tremendous potential of this technology. The
production versions of Audi's diesel engines, too, are noted for their dynamic
performance. The TT Coupe quattro with the 2.0 TDI sprints from zero to 100
km/h (62.14 mph) in 7.5 seconds and achieves a top speed of 226 km/h (140.43
mph). The Audi TT Roadster, likewise with quattro permanent all-wheel drive,
takes just two-tenths of a second longer in the sprint discipline and has
a top speed of 223 km/h (138.57 mph). The TT's low weight is a key factor
in this impressive performance. The TDI Coupe tips the scales at just 1,370
kilograms (3,020.30 lb) and the Roadster, with its numerous reinforcing plates,
at 1,415 kg (3,119.51 lb). Both body versions use the hybrid design pioneered
by Audi. Their forward structure is made from lightweight aluminum, the rear
section comprised of steel - a concept that optimizes weight distribution.
The power transmission for the TT Coupe 2.0 TDI quattro and TT Roadster 2.0
TDI quattro is sheer high-tech, too. An ultra-efficient, precise and
easy-to-shift six-speed manual transmission delivers the engine's torque
to the all-wheel drive, itself featuring a hydraulic multi-plate clutch as
its nerve center. The clutch can redirect power as needed from the front
to the rear wheels with lightning speed. Audi's two new diesel sports cars
move along on sporty 16-inch alloy wheels. Their chassis, with electromechanical
power steering and elaborate four-link rear suspension, is a highly complex
structure. It guarantees a comfortable ride and ensures the car's handling
is both dynamic and safe - the key to thrilling, carefree driving enjoyment.
