Audi just revealed the specs of its redesigned 2010 Audi TT Roadster and Coupe. Both models are said to be equipped with 2.0-liter TDI diesel engines. The Roadster, Audi said, will be priced from 35,900 euros, while the coupe can be purchased from 34,850 euros.
The German car manufacturer also disclosed that since the release of these vehicles to the market, the TDI diesel engine’s share in the TT-range increased abruptly to 11%. The tweaks made to both cars were kept to the styling details. No mechanical modifications were made, and the units still carry the same 2.0-liter turbo diesel engine.
This engine can generate a maintaining power of 170 HP, and a maximum torque of 258.15 pound-feet. Consumers can choose either a 1750 rpm or a 2500 rpm unit. The models will also be available as permanent-all-wheel drives. The standard variants will be mated with a six-speed manual transmission.
According to tests, the TT Coupe can sprint from zero to 62mph in 7.5 seconds with the 2.0-liter TDI diesel engine. Its average fuel consumption is only 5.3 liters per 100 kilometers. The CO2 emission level isn’t too bad, either, with 139g/km. Both models were released exclusively for Europe, and no news about the TT’s launch in the US has been heard.
Audi seems to be in a face lifting frenzy. Just a few months ago, the German car maker also reworked an SUV line. The selling point of these modified TT models is that despite the changes in the style, the cars will still be running on the same TDI engine. This means that it will be able to generate an impressive 170HP without consuming too much fuel. Now let’s see if this gets bought with Adsense money too!
I love the minor changes in the RS, great car! :p
