The new Audi TT has been revealed at the Geneva Motor Show.
Based on Volkswagen’s MQB architecture, the new TT looks broadly similar to the old model; however, the new car is more powerful and 50kg lighter than before and boasts a number of subtle design tweaks.
At the front, the new TT’s grille is wider and narrower than before. The bonnet also features Audi’s four-rings logo for the first time, borrowing a styling cue from the R8, and sharp contours run in a V-pattern across the bonnet.
The TT’s lights are also narrower than before and are available as Xenon units as standard, with LED headlights available as optional extras.
On the inside, the cabin is more spacious than before and Audi has designed a particularly minimalist interior. Audi’s so-called ‘virtual cockpit’ combines the instrument cluster and the multimedia screen together in a single digital unit, and Audi claims that, viewed from above, the instrument panel resembles the wing of an aircraft. The round air vents which are a hallmark of the TT also contain all the controls for the air-conditioning system.
At launch the TT and TTS will be available with three four-cylinder engines – two petrols and a diesel -- all of which will feature direct injection and turbocharging.
The 2.0 TFSI petrol engine will be available with either 227bhp and 273lb-ft of torque, or 306bhp and 280lb-ft of torque, while the 2.0 TDI diesel will produce 181bhp and 280lb-ft of torque. The diesel will also be capable of 67.2mpg and 110g/km of CO2, with a 0-62mph time of 7.2 seconds and a provisional top speed of 146mph.
UK pricing and specification details are yet to be confirmed; the first deliveries will take place in late 2014.
