2011 Audi TT Coupe

The second generation Audi TT Coupe and TT Roadster are made a name for the design of icons, similar to its predecessor. Awards, including the "2007 World Car Design of the Year document 'that position. Stout, broad-based, strong shoulders and even the roof line - two compact sports cars are a fascinating masculine lines. Their dynamic aspect is more expressive than ever.

The most obvious feature on the front bumper of the car is powerful, encompassing the larger air intakes, with three dimensions, edges strongly attracted. The fog lamps are set chrome rings. It also sports a new look are the network of single-frame grille glossy black, and optional Xenon headlights more. Twelve white LEDs arranged in a straight line at the bottom of the fog lights serving as daytime. Those with wings on the body of the lighthouse are classic characteristics of Audi design.

Tubular, apparently floating reflectors for the rear lights to add visual depth in the back of the car. A large tailpipes of the exhaust system - 2.0 TFSI is a dual exhaust pipes - and a larger, flat black speaker Sept. additional accents.

A key to the effectiveness of driving dynamics and excellent revolutionary Audi TT is the body, which has hybrid Audi Space Frame (ASF). Lightweight aluminum is used in front of the car for the B-pillar, with steel panels used in the rear. This mixture allows development engineers to balance the axial loads perfectly and keep the total weight extremely low - the parameters of choice for dynamic performance.

Audi TT 1.8 TFSI weighs only 1240 kg (2733.73 lb), one of about 100 kg (220.46 pounds) lighter than its closest competitor. The body of the Cup weighs only 206 kg (454.15 pounds), which decomposes at 140 kg (308.65 pounds) of aluminum (68 percent) and 66 kg (145.51 pounds) of steel (32 percent ). Reinforcements specific TT Roadster - steel bulkhead, strongly ribbed thresholds, a pillar and windshield frame - resulting in a percent from 58 to 42 split of the two materials.

Asf organs are the Audi TT, with the exception of a very light, but they are also very strong and low vibration, which provides the basis for sporty handling and precise, quiet ride and high passive safety. Package development to keep systems to protect passengers in collisions. Classic fabric on top of the TT Roadster is an excellent addition to Audi, lightweight design principle. It contributes to the low center of gravity, ideal for the design of the line and takes up little space when folded.

Audi offers a soft, two different models. The manual version has a key lock to open and close the top. Electro-hydraulic drive to open the optional fully automatic top just 12 seconds, while driving at a speed of 50 km / h (31.07 mph). Extraordinary acoustic carpet to further improve the already excellent acoustic and thermal insulation.

With 125 kW (170 hp) and 350 Nm (258.15 lb ft) of torque - the latter available between 1,750 and 2,500 rpm - the standard sprint takes 7.5 seconds and acceleration continues until a speed of 226 kmh (140.43 mph) is reached. The two-liter TDI is mated to a manual transmission and quattro drive wheels.

A clear shift gearbox six-speed manual transmits power to the wheels independently of the engine. Audi also offers the S tronic dual-clutch option for the new 2.0 TFSI. This transmission is the six-speed with virtually no interruption in the supply of energy. The high-tech gear moves very quickly and easily, automatically or manually, as desired by the driver. Manual changes can be made using the optional paddles on the steering wheel.

The system quattro permanent four-wheel drive is available as an option for a 2.0 TFSI with S tronic, it comes standard with the 2.0 TDI. The hydraulic multi-plate clutch, which is mounted on the rear axle for reasons of weight distribution is controlled electronically. In normal driving, sending most of the engine power to the front wheels, but it can quickly transfer up to 100 percent to the rear wheels if necessary.
