Review : Audi TT Roadster

Car Review Audi TT Roadster - Removing the roof of the new Audi TT Roadster makes it more stylish. In fact, the car can change from open to closed within ten seconds, with a speed of about 30 mph, and do not use the extra boot space when drawn.

Audi has always offered in a convertible roof fabric, rather than metal folding hardtops, and the TT Roadster is no different - the company says is the reason for the lower center of gravity and improve handling.

Part of it is to a variety of machines, today, is offered. There are only 3-1 diesel and two petrols - but all impressed on paper and in reality

Diesel and Gasoline engines

Part of it is to a variety of machines, today, is offered. There are only 3-1 diesel and two petrols - but all impressed on paper and in reality.

Promises Ultra 2-liter diesel astonishing efficiency, with 65.7mpg and 114g / km of the highlights on the spec sheet. Only available with front-wheel drive and manual gearbox, for the moment, but quattro will follow. Until then requires a 0-62mph of 7.3 seconds, top speed is 147mph and 181bhp and 380Nm smooth delivery eternal torque.

As the 'entry-level' TT Roadster is no 2-liter petrol with 227bhp. Acceleration from 0-62mph requires 6.2 seconds (manual front-wheel drive) or 5.6 seconds (quattro S tronic) with electronically limited top speed of 155mph. Smooth and happy to rev, with exceptional mid-range boost, it is also capable of over 47mpg and 140g / km CO2 emissions.

They are less concerned with saving money should look to 306bhp TTS models; equipped with quattro four-wheel drive as standard TTS Roadster dispenses with the 0-62mph sprint in 4.9 seconds (S tronic) or 5.2 seconds (manual) and also limited to 155mph. Peak torque arrives at just 1,800rpm and there are a few cars a point-to-point as fast on the road behind foreign.

Inland

Since the first TT arrived in England in 1999 the interior has left rivals playing catch-up, and so it is with this third generation. Really neat and brag company Virtual Cockpit Display, which dispenses with the traditional center console for infotainment, sat-nav and other information and place directly in-front of the driver in the main binnacle instrument.

Antisocial for passengers, who are now faced with striking cabin to see rather than digital maps, it is but fantastic for the driver of a sports car and a fully fit. The ability to switch between the flow of information, and even fill the screen with intuitive navigation guidance and truly beneficial for the driver, while the multifunction display offers a different layout for TTS.

At least airvents passengers can admire the beautifully designed, complete with integrated controls for the climate control system (and heated seats where fitted). It's as intuitive design and ideas you will wonder why it was not done decades ago. Being in no doubt this is one of the best car interiors in the production, at any price point.

Fabric roof

Audi has always offered in a convertible roof fabric, rather than metal folding hardtops, and the TT Roadster is no different - the company says is the reason for the lower center of gravity and improve handling. In fact, it also means the car can change from open to closed within ten seconds, with a speed of about 30 mph, and do not use the extra boot space when drawn.

Three layers of acoustic material means that there is little penalty in terms of refinement and noise while traveling and new Roadster to 6dB quieter than its predecessor.

Open top driving package, which includes the head of the level of the seat heating, electrically operated wind deflector and super heated sports seats ensure you will stay warm with the roof lowered, no matter the weather.
