Audi TT Is BBC Top Gear Magazine’s Coupé of the Year


387fe516518c00f16f6f143602109b80.webp


  • All new TT Coupé scoops Coupé of the Year accolade in BBC Top Gear Magazine’s annual awards
  • TT Coupé now available to order in the UK priced from £29,770 OTR to £35,335 OTR – UK deliveries have now begun
  • 310PS TTS Coupe now available to order priced from £38,790 OTR – first deliveries in April
  • Sport and S line specification options and choice of 2.0 TFSI 230PS engine in conjunction with either front-wheel-drive or
  • quattro all-wheel-drive and 2.0 TDI 184PS unit exclusively with front-wheel-drive
  • Efficiency-focused TT 2.0 TDI ultra combines 67.3mpg capability with CO2 output of just 110g/km, yet can also reach 62mph in 7.1 seconds and top out at 150mph
The magazine team known for pulling no punches in its car appraisals has been won over by the Audi sports car designed with an equally uncompromising approach – the all new Audi TT Coupé is BBC Top Gear Magazine’s Coupé of the Year.

The version of the new high-tech Audi sports car which was singled out for particular praise in the magazine’s awards citation is the remarkable new 2.0 TDI ultra, which with 184PS and 380Nm of torque has the necessary brawn to deliver performance which befits the breed, yet combines this with the potential to return a distinctly uncharacteristic 67mpg with CO2 emissions of just 110g/km.

The Top Gear Magazine test team showed its approval by writing: “The 2.0-litre in the TDI ultra is smooth, quiet and punchy, drives cleanly and is, maybe surprisingly, the version that impressed us more. It doesn’t try hard to be great and so strikes a happy balance. Well done, Audi – this one’s a corker.”

The new Audi virtual cockpit which is a standard feature in all TT models also played a significant role in the judges’ decision. Based around a 12.3-inch, high resolution LCD display that completely fills the driver’s instrument binnacle, it replaces the traditional analogue dials with brilliantly sharp digital equivalents which can either fill the display or be minimised to make room for other functions, such as the media screens or navigation map. It also enables the driver to easily control the majority of functions via the multi-function steering wheel.

The Top Gear test team showed its appreciation for this classic embodiment of Vorsprung durch Technik by writing: “[The interior] works logically and brilliantly. Almost everything can be controlled by your thumbs on the wheel, it’s intuitive and attractive and really rather, well, wonderful.”

From 184PS to 310PSAvailable in the UK now priced from £29,770 OTR and arriving with its first customers during this month, the TT Coupé envelops its all-digital virtual cockpit in a beautiful new body that is unmistakably TT but also distinctly contemporary. In addition to the 184 PS 2.0-litre TDI engine it also offers the option of state-of-the-art 230PS or 310PS versions of the 2.0-litre TFSI petrol engine, the latter reserved for the TTS which is also now available and will reach its first UK customers in April.

All are underpinned by a completely new platform which sets new standards for handling agility and control, particularly when combined with the very latest evolution of the quattro all-wheel-drive system which is available for the 2.0 TFSI model and standard for the TTS.

Interior technology highlights common to the Sport and S line versions that make up the TT range include the Multi Media Interface with the MMI touch pad for fingertip data entry, the Audi Music Interface, Bluetooth connectivity, the Audi drive select adaptive dynamics system and keyless go. Complementary comforts also include Alcantara and leather combination upholstery for the standard sports seats and air conditioning which can be adjusted via controls innovatively integrated into the air vents themselves.

Outside the cabin, the two specification levels include 18-inch or 19-inch alloy wheels, and Xenon or LED headlamps respectively, plus a speed-dependent active rear spoiler and sports suspension. S line versions with their exclusive S line body styling and dynamic rear ‘sweeping’ indicators also offer the no cost option to swap to tauter S line sports suspension bringing a further 10mm reduction in ride height.

The TTS Coupe offers its own exclusive specification adding ‘S-specific’ styling details inside and out and features such as Audi magnetic ride variable damper control, heated super sports seats upholstered in Fine Nappa leather and a bespoke version of the Audi virtual cockpit with a third, TTS-specific display setting.

I have a question, is the screen behind the wheel the one where you see the Audio interface ? If so how can the passenger play with it ?
 
WCF reader imagines Audi TT RS Coupe

Model already confirmed
A long-time WCF reader is taking another stab at rendering the Audi TT RS Coupealready confirmed for production.

Likely coming in 2016, the RS will represent the crown jewel of Audi's third-gen TT range and it will keep the five-cylinder engine. Technical project manager Markus Siewart has confirmed a new TT RS is on its way and will be more powerful compared to the old model which packed 340 HP (250 kW) and 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) in the standard version and 360 HP (265 kW) and 465 Nm (343 lb-ft) in the TT RS Plus model.

The new one is expected to provide as much as 380 HP (279 kW) in a body that will be lighter than its predecessor taking into account the new TT has shaved off up to 50 kg (110 lbs). The added oomph and lower curb weight will enable the new TT RS to be quicker than the aforementioned TT RS Plus which needs 4.1 seconds until 62 mph (100 km/h) before topping out at an electronically-capped 174 mph (280 km/h).

Aside from a TT RS, Audi is also cooking up a third body style for the TT range which will likely take the shape of a crossover in the same vein as the TT offroad concept presented earlier this year.

Special thanks go to Hans for sending us the render!

Audi TT Ultra review

Audi TT Ultra with diesel engine is expected to be big seller, and we try it in UK

Verdict 5

It'd be easy to give the Audi TT Ultra four stars, saying a diesel doesn’t belong in a true sports car. But that would do the Audi an injustice, as this not only makes a strong case for itself compared to the punchy petrols, but it also delivers true thrills. If you value mpg and fun, this is the sports car for you.

We’re already big fans of the new Audi TT – with its blend of stylish looks and improved driving dynamics, this fashionable car has already earned top marks in our book. Although we’ve swooned over the petrol-powered TTs, we haven’t been able to get behind the wheel of the diesel version on UK roads – until now.

And it’s a good job we did, as this will be the big seller on these shores. Brits already buy more TTs than drivers in any other country in Europe, and the ones we buy most of are diesel-powered.

Audi has served up a tempting package in the new, third-generation TT. Under the curvy bonnet lies a 2.0-litre TDI diesel – just like the engine you’ll find in a host of other Audis. While this car produces 182bhp, has a top speed of 150mph and covers 0-62mph in a shade over seven seconds, Audi says it’ll return an eye-catching 67.3mpg and emit only 110g/km of CO2. And don’t think that fuel economy figure is pure make believe, as we managed nearly 60mpg on our test route.


Show the TT Ultra a corner and, while there’s a little understeer, there’s nothing evident enough to mark this car down over the petrol versions. That’s because it’s all backed up by a great chassis that makes the diesel TT a credible sports car. For a diesel it even sounds throaty under hard acceleration, too.

Inside, the TT is a symphony of great design. And while there’s hardly any space in the back, those up front have plenty of room. Plus, there’s a decent-sized boot, with 712 litres of space when the seats are folded flat.

The TT 2.0 TDI Ultra makes a strong case for itself, then, and looks set to continue Britain’s love affair with Audi’s diesel-engined sports car.

Audi TT 2.0 TFSI Quattro (2015) review

bf3c8bda47289a6557d5c3e49709e306.webp



► Full UK road test of new TT
► We test the entry-level petrol 2.0 TFSI
► Has TT now got substance and style?


There’s an Audi TT for those who want to go very, very quickly: theBoxster-baiting TTS. There’s also a TT for fuel misers (or optimistic company car user-choosers): the diesel TT Ultra. This is the TT for everyone else: the regular, straight-down-the-middle 2.0-litre TFSI petrol.

If you pick the TFSI you get a choice of either front-wheel drive or ‘quattro’ four-wheel drive. Front-drive cars get a choice of a six-speed manual gearbox or Audi’s twin-clutch S-tronic six-speed auto. Quattro versions – like the one we’re testing here – are auto-only.

TT Sport or S line?
Apart from choosing how many wheels they’d like to be driven, TT buyers also need to pick between the base Sport trim or the spanglier S line. Differences are largely cosmetic – S line TTs get 19-inch alloys instead of 18s, more chiselled bumpers and techy all-LED headlights, as well as a 10mm lower ride height and slightly firmer suspension (but still with fixed-rate dampers rather than the configurable ones on the TTS).

Most UK buyers are expected to plump for the S-line, and it’s not hard to see why. Those arch-filling alloys and flashier (quite literally) headlights lend the TT a healthy dose of on-road presence. This is a car that’s all about image, after all.

Quattro or front-wheel drive?
The broken, bucking Scottish tarmac we tested this car on was a great advert for Quattro. On one stretch made particularly slick by rain and general winter griminess the TT went exactly where it was pointed when a Merc SLK would have been tying itself in knots and a BMW Z4might have caused the odd moist-palmed moment.

The TT’s classy damping smoothed out the worst of the bumps nicely even on the S line spec’s 19-inch wheels, smeared-on 255/30 tyres and stiffer suspension. There was plenty of confidence to be found in the brakes too, as progressive as they were powerful. That said, the middle pedal in a diesel TT Ultra we drove later the same day was a little on the grabby side by contrast.

Turn-in is impressively crisp before the balance blends gently into safe understeer, and in general TT III feels more nimble and a shade less blunt than its Mk2 predecessor. Frankly, there’s little to knock on the handling front, but there’s still an indefinable numbness to proceedings that leaves you wanting something more. There’s little tangibly wrong with the way the TT drives, it’s just not the sort of car you’d get up early in the morning to savour a favourite road, or take the long way home every now and then just for the sake of it.

Petrol or diesel?
As you’d expect, the petrol’s wider power band and willingness to rev makes it the more rewarding drive than the diesel but it’s not as crushing a victory as you might imagine. The diesel’s more flexible than most and it’s towering torque (280lb ft, although the petrol’s not far behind at 273lb ft) ensures it feels nearly as quick in a straight line.

The S-tronic gearbox is as smooth as you like, and given that the TT’s not the last word in involvement anyway you won’t find yourself pining for a manual gear lever all that much. Under power, each upshift comes with a muted, vaguely synthesized bark from the exhausts that’s becoming something of an Audi hallmark.

Does the Audi TT’s tech-fest interior live up to the hype?
It does feel special, no question. The neatly realised air vents with an integrated digital display at their centre are one highlight, but that widescreen digital instrument cluster is the showpiece. Framed within what looks like a digitized pair of snowboard goggles, the sharp, full-bleed display knocks the two square screens shoehorned into the Mercedes S-class’s dashboard into a cocked hat for modernity and general wow-factor.

With the navigation map set to fill the screen, the display looks fantastic when Google Earth is within signal – not always there in the Scottish Highlands – although such is its brightness you’ll be searching for a way to dim the screen at night, otherwise it’s like watching TV from two feet away.

As with the last TT, fit and finish is deeply impressive – only even more so – and the plus-two rear seats are still more or less a waste of time for anything other than luggage. Audi still knows how to charge for options, too. A grand for electric seat adjustment does seem quite steep.

Verdict
In many ways, the Audi TT Coupe TFSI Quattro is a deeply impressive car. Fast, sure-footed and with an interior to die for, it builds on every attribute of its predecessor to create a product that, for many, will be deeply desirable. The fact that it doesn’t quite offer the last word in driver involvement doesn’t really matter. But it would be nice if it did.

Audi TT 2.0 TFSI Quattro (2015) review
 

Audi

Audi AG is a German automotive manufacturer of luxury vehicles headquartered in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany. A subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, the company’s origins date back to the early 20th century and the initial enterprises (Horch and the Audiwerke) founded by engineer August Horch (1868–1951). Two other manufacturers (DKW and Wanderer) also contributed to the foundation of Auto Union in 1932. The modern Audi era began in the 1960s, when Volkswagen acquired Auto Union from Daimler-Benz, and merged it with NSU Motorenwerke in 1969.
