2008 Audi TT 2.0 TFSI quattro

Press release

Audi is expanding its TT range with the new top-of-the-line TTS model as well as an additional drive variant scheduled for launch in April. In the future, the Audi TT 2.0 TFSI will also be available with quattro permanent all-wheel drive. The standard-specification quattro permanent all-wheel drive ensures loss-free transfer of the engine’s power to the road via S tronic, which switches gears with virtually no interruption of traction.

At the heart of the quattro system is an electronically controlled and hydraulically operated multi-plate clutch, which now works faster than ever thanks to a new pressure reservoir that is also used in the TTS. If required, all of the drive force can be redirected from the front to the rear wheels within a matter of milliseconds.

The TFSI four-cylinder version draws its power from a displacement of 1,984 cc. An international jury of automotive specialists voted it the “Engine of the Year” three years in a row in 2005, 2006 and 2007. The TFSI engine pairs the FSI gasoline direct injection system developed by Audi with a turbocharger – an ideal combination. The four-cylinder engine responds spontaneously to the throttle and is ultra-refined. It transmits 280 Nm (206.52 lb-ft) of torque to the crankshaft at just 1,800 rpm, and is able to keep this pulling power constant all the way up to 5,000 rpm. The nominal power output of 147 kW (200 hp) is delivered between 5,100 and 6,000 rpm. With a top speed of 238 km/h (Roadster 235 km/h), the Coupé can sprint from 0 auf 100 km/h in 6.2 seconds, while the Roadster requires just two-tenths of a second more.
