2015 Audi TT ► Body Structure

To start with, the new TT will be available with one TFSI and one TDI engine. At 135 kW (184 bhp) and 169 kW (310 bhp), both four-cylinder engines offer solid power, but their consumption figures been reduced compared with the second-generation TT. This also applies to the 228 kW (310 bhp) 2.0 TFSI, which powers the new TTS. A start/stop system is available as standard in all power units, while a sound actuator (part of Audi drive select) provides a sonorous sound.

The TT 2.0 TDI ultra, which will be available at launch with manual transmission and front-wheel drive, consumes on average only 4.2 liters of fuel over 100 km (56 US mpg) -- equating to CO2 emissions of 110 grams per km (177.03 g/mile) and creating a new best value in the segment. As with all the engines in the new TT, the two-liter diesel, which delivers 135 kW (184 bhp) and 380 Nm (280.27 lb-ft) torque, fulfills the limits of the Euro 6 standard.

The 2.0 TFSI is available in two versions -- in the TT with 169 kW (230 bhp) and 370 Nm (272.90 lb-ft) and in the TTS with 228 kW (310 bhp) and 380 Nm (280.27 lb-ft), in conjunction with an even sportier sound. The Audi TTS advances in the top performance range -- it takes 4.7 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62.14 mph), while the top speed, which is limited to 250 km/h (155.34 mph), is just a formality.

As standard, the 2.0 TFSI in the TT, as well as in the TTS, works with a manual six-speed transmission, or optionally with the six-speed S tronic. The dual clutch transmission changes gears at lightning speed and without any noticeable break in traction. In manual mode, the transmission can be controlled as required either by rocker switches on the steering wheel (a standard feature on the TTS) or using the selector lever. In efficiency mode in the Audi drive select dynamic driving system (another standard feature on the TTS), the S tronic engages freewheeling when the driver takes his foot of the accelerator pedal.
