Audi TT 2.0 TDI Quattro
AWD
Since TTs sold
features the Quattro all-wheel drive system, Audi has decided to introducing the 2.0-liter diesel engine as well.
Aimed at both the Coupe and Roadster variants, the Quattro AWD directs power
exclusively to the front wheels under normal driving conditions to help improve
fuel consumption.
If it detects
traction loss, then the electro-hydraulic multi-plate clutch automatically
redirects the power to the rear wheels in just a few milliseconds.
Additionally, the Quattro, which works together with wheel-selective torque
control and an intelligent software for the ESC, allows safe and controlled
drifts on low-friction surfaces.
The 2.0-liter TDI-powered
Audi TT puts out 184 PS and 380 Nm of torque. The Quattro
version with the S Tronic dual-clutch transmission needs 6.7 seconds to go from
rest to 100 km/h, and up to 234 km/h, while the Roadster is
0.3 seconds slower and can reach 230 km/h. The NEDC fuel consumption
sits at 5.2 l/100 km for the coupe and 5.4 l/100 km for the open-top.
Audi have already opened
the order books, and prices kick off from € 41,250 (US$ 44,262) for the TT Coupe
Quattro S Tronic, while the Roadster sets its prospective buyers back for at
least € 43,650 (US$ 46,837), in Germany. Deliveries will commence in early 2017.
