New Audi TT with a TDI; Roadster too
Posted By RichC on February 28, 2008
Wired highlighted the new Audi TT 2.0 TDI, but can’t confirm if it will be available North America. Notice the comment “Roadster” below … might we see a TDI convertible? (LINK to full article)
Behold the TT 2.0 TDI. The 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (pictured above), matched to a six-speed manual transmission and Quattro all-wheel drive, is good for 167 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque — enough to prod the coupe to 60 mph in about 7.4 seconds (7.6 for the slightly heavier Roadster) and on to a top speed of 140 mph (138 mph for the Roadster). Perhaps more noteworthy than its performance, however, is the diesel TT’s meager appetite: Audi is claiming 44.4 mpg for the coupe (42.8 mpg for the Roadster).
