Audi TT:bring on the TDI…
Posted on February 28, 2008
Filed Under Audi, News
There was a time when:
-you wouldn’t put a diesel engine in a convertible to save your life;
-no „cool” car would be powered by a diesel engine;
But when you win endurance races with a diesel engine,you as a serious manufacturer must take in consideration this alternative. And Audi did this hoping that all their customers won’t be dissapointed. And from what I’ve heard they don’t have any reason to be.
We all know the TT as a sports car that can bring a big smile on everyone’s face but the German manufacturer thinks that by puting a TDI under the hood the receipe will be evn better.It has to be sayd that it will be a 2 litre, 170 HP and 350 Nm TDI(the same that poweres the Skoda Octavia RS).And because everything has to be perfect,the quattro ALW system won’t be missing.
I know that many of you are thinking:but is it still a true sports car?And the answer is simple: 0 to 100 km/h in 7,5 seconds with a top speed of 226 km/h.The real advantage pops up when we discuss the fuel consumtion: 5,3 l/100 km for the coupe and 5,5 l/100 km for the roadster.And don’t worry about any vibrations because this engine is very quiet.

Convertibles with diesel engines are very common these days in Europe. The convertible version of the VW Golf (Rabbit in the US) has been available for years with a diesel engine. The diesel powered TT will probably sell pretty good in the EU.
