The new
Audi TT has been officially presented to the public on April 6. The second generation of the extremely popular sport coupe claimed to be even more energetic than the very first
TT. While the first generation was essentially
Volkswagen Golf 4Motion in a wolf's skin, the new
Audi TT is a completely new car that doesn't share too much crucial components with an older model.
Posted by: nektotigra on 09/04/06 The keyword is 'aluminum'. The whole front side and skin panels have been made out of this light metal. Only the backside is made from steel in order to make the new
Audi TT's mass distribution more balanced. The new
Audi TT got larger, too. Comparing to the older car, it is 137mm longer and 78mm wider, although, paradoxically, 50kg for the top 3.2-litre, 250bhp
Quattro.
As the company says in its
press release, the new
Audi TT will come to the market with two powerful engines that work on gasoline. The 2.0-liter turbocharged TFSI engine features FSI direct injection system and develops 200 horsepower. Being mated with a six-speed manual, this engine takes just 6.4 seconds to accelerate the car from zero to 62 mph. The naturally breathing 3.2-liter V6 develops 250 horsepower and reaches the 62 mph mark in 5.7 seconds.
