\"270208aud\"<\/a> Audi has unveiled the first TT to be powered by a diesel engine, the 168bhp 2.0-litre TDI. It wil be displayed at Geneva before going on sale in March for \u00a326,350.<\/p>\n

After the R8 V12 TDI unveiled at Detroit in last January, the German carmaker shows its commitment to diesel engines by launching its fist diesel-powered coup\u00e9. The elected engine is the 2.0-litre which has an output of 168bhp and a torque of 258 lb ft. The power goes to the wheel through the in-house four-wheel drive system, the famous Quattro. The coup\u00e9 is only offered with a six-speed manual gearbox.<\/p>\n

The Audi TT 2.0 TDI Quattro coup\u00e9 can run the 0-62mph in 7.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 140mph. The roadster is a little bit slower with 7.7 seconds and 138mph. It might be hard to convince people to make the jump at first, but fuel efficiency becomes a major selling point. On this one, the Audi TT scores pretty well with a 53.3mpg combined consumption for the coup\u00e9 and a 51.3mpg combined consumption for the roadster.<\/p>\n

If you still hesitate at the idea of buying a diesel-powered coup\u00e9, the Audi TT 2.0-litre doesn’t sport any TDI moniker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
