The Audi TT is getting diesel power.
The TT TDI Coupe and Roadster will come with the 170bhp/258lb ft 2.0-litre engine, giving 53.3mpg (coupe) or 51.3mpg (roadster) and emitting just 140g/km (coupe) and 145g/km (roadster) of carbon dioxide.
Performance is still strong. The TT TDI coupe will do 140mph and 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds, and the roadster 138mph and 0-60 in 7.7 seconds. The diesel engine, with new turbocharger and piezo-injection technology, meets the Euro 5 emissions regulations as well.
UK specification will include magnetic-drive adaptive damping, 17-inch alloy wheels, leather/alcantara upholstery, electronic climate control, a 140-watt MP3/CD/radio and, for the roadster, a fully-automatic soft-top hood and integrated wind deflector. The order books open in early March, with prices from £26,350 (coupe) and £28,350 (roadster).
