Exterior designWith a firm and clear geometry, the design of the first TT Roadster it was raised to the status of cult classics. Audi has preserved the basic design guidelines for new models and carefully modernized.While it appears that the rear end and roof overlap at each other, soft-top TT Roadster makes a clear contrast with the overall design gives a more geometric look. Express the body's strength and forward motion. This impression is enhanced athletic waist lines as well as a growing and dynamic line above the door and the elevated edge of the side windows. Apparent cover the fuel tank above the right rear wheel expresses the classic aluminum design.The front of the new Audi TT Roadster has an expressive face. Plastic wing-shaped elements are inserted into the slanted, sharply cut headlights to emphasize the three-dimensional depth. At the rear end emphasize the large tailpipes and aerodynamic spoiler. Tubular reflectors to stand inside the rear light assembly. As with the Coupé, an electrically powered spoiler rises from the boot lid when the speed exceeds 120 km / h.Compared with the model that replaces the new TT Roadster has grown in all directions, so its new proportions emphasize its sporty nature. Length is now 4178 mm (137 mm), width 1842 mm (78 mm) and height 1358 mm (8 mm), while the wheelbase has grown by 46 to 2468 mm. Despite the larger dimensions, drag coefficient of the 2.0 TFSI is just 0:32 with a raised soft top.Soft-topAudi has consciously decided to keep the soft roof of the new TT Roadster. The concept of soft top is ideally suited to the philosophy of classical riding with an open roof, and also possesses several advantages compared with steel hardtop.Soft top, which includes the strengthening of steel and aluminum, as well as a large glass rear window, has a very lightweight construction - not only to reduce the overall weight of the TT Roadster, but lowered his center of balance. Smooth fits in the line of cars and when he lowered occupies only a small part of the trunk. Thanks to the new Z-folding, the front part of the roof lying above the canvas as a cover. When fully lowered into the body, thus diminishing the need for a separate cover. The soft top is available in two colors, black and dark gray.TT Roadster 3.2 quattro comes standard with an electro-hydraulically powered soft top, which is the 2.0 TFSI is available as an option. This version of the soft top, pressing it opens in just 12 seconds, and it can even manage to move up to speeds of 50 km / h. Fully automatic roof, including an additional layer of protective layer under the black ceiling for even better insulation against noise and heat.Manually operated roof with the help of the central hooks. As an option you can order a mesh wind deflector, which pulls and retracts electrically, and serves to reduce air turbulence in the interior - none of the competitive model does not offer such feature.Body & SecurityLike the TT Coupé, the body of the TT Roadster is also built on the principle of Audi Space Frame (ASF) technology, with a pioneering hybrid construction that shows the vast experience of manufacturers in lightweight constructions. The body is made of 58 percent aluminum and 42 percent steel. This mixture of materials makes the Roadster extremely light, so the 2.0 TFSI, unloaded weighs just 1295 kg.In order to ensure uniform distribution of weight between the axles, the steel components are installed in most of the back of the body - for example, cross-element behind the passenger compartment is made of steel. This special element, which holds the solid bars for the roll-over protection with elegant plastic covering, has a significant role in achieving the overall rigidity.The side elements are also specific, because they consist of parts made of cast aluminum containing numerous reinforcing ribs. A-pillars are also strengthened in the windscreen frame is inserted high-strength steel tube. In the new model, the already impressive static torsional stiffness, the new model has more than doubled, resulting in extremely low vibration and precise handling.Comprehensive protection system promises the greatest possible passive safety. In the event of a side collision, active aluminum rods and reinforcements in the doors along with side airbags for head and body. Two-stage air bags front and full-size Audi's system of protection in the event of rear-end collisions are always ready to help mitigate the consequences of a collision.
InteriorThe interior of the TT Roadster is also noticeably increased, offering extra headroom and elbow. Width at shoulder level is now 1362 mm, an increase of 29 mm.Deep sports seats for driver and front passenger side provide good posture. Standard leather steering wheel is in the lower quits. The optional Impulse leather interior package with distinctive stitching has already achieved cult status in the previous model, now being offered as one of four different packages leather interior. Model 3.2 quattro comes as standard in a combined Alcantara and leather.Three circular ventilation openings and the dome that covers the dashboard, cockpit give TT a distinctive style. As you might expect from Audi, ergonomic concept is perfect and the workmanship superb. From increasing the dimensions of vehicles and get a trunk, which rose from 210 to 250 liters, as in models with front and in models with quattro drive.
DrivelineLike the TT Coupé, the new Roadster is available with two transversely installed petrol engines. Both have great power and torque, resulting in an exceptional sports performance. Four-cylinder engine transmits its power to the front wheels, while V6 engine drives all four wheels by means of quattro, the same way by providing dynamic and secure grip ceste.Osim with sporty six-speed manual transmission, both models are available with the innovative S tronic dual- coupling for lightning-fast gear changes without interrupting the flow of power.Four-cylinder TFSI engine with a label with a capacity of 1984 cm3 delivers 147 kW (200 hp) and a constant 280 Nm of torque between 1,800 and 5,000 rpm. TFSI technology combines a turbocharger optimally with the Audi direct fuel injection system, which allows more efficient combustion.2005. and 2006., potent and extremely refined two-liter turbo FSI engine is chosen for the "Engine of the Year" by international experts.With the S tronic transmission, Audi TT Roadster 2.0 TFSI accelerates to 100 km / h in just 6.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 237 km / h. On average, consumes 7.8 liters of fuel per 100 km.V6 engine with a displacement of 3189 cm3 delivers 184 kW (250 hp) and maximum torque of 320 Nm available between 2500 and 3,000 rpm. Sonorous, ultra-compact engine long walk has two continuously adjustable camshafts. TT Roadster 3.2 quattro with S tronic sprints from 0-100 km / h in 5.9 seconds and reaches an electronically limited top speed of 250 km / h. Average fuel consumption is 9.5 l/100 km.
ChassisOn the new TT Roadster sporty chassis has undergone complete reconstruction. Its main features are the complex four-link rear suspension, wide track wheels, completely redesigned, elasto-kinematics, and large wheels. Model 2.0 TFSI rides on 16-inch and 3.2 quattro model on the 17-inch alloy. As an option, the models can be supplied with run-flat tires.The front suspension, which is connected to a separate sub-frame contains a McPherson structure that is refined use of lightweight aluminum components. Electro-mechanical servo control system combines direct transmission with sensitive precision.Construction of a four-connective rear suspension, which also uses the subframe, separates the springs from the dampers. Longitudinal ties, which have relatively soft setup for better comfort, absorb propulsive and braking forces, while strong combination of three transverse links for each wheel allows precise alignment of the transverse forces on the body.Redesigned Electronic Stability Program (ESP) has been optimized for a sporty driving style and to help balancing the TT Roadster, whose behavior ranges from neutral to light understeer. If necessary, the system includes brake assist, to ensure that the four major drive to reach maximum braking force.The optional Audi magnetic ride adaptive damping system is a modern technological features that is unique to the roadster segment. Pressing the button, the driver can choose between an extra-comfortable and totally dynamic suspension settings. Inside the shock absorber is a special fluid that contains a miniature magnetic particles. Bringing the electric field can be changed viscosity of the fluid and thus the characteristics of shock absorption, and all within a few milliseconds.
EquipmentAll versions of the new Audi TT Roadster are richly equipped with standard, with equipment that includes a new "chorus" audio system and driver information system, and the model 3.2 quattro, automatic air-conditioning. There is a choice between two optional navigation systems, both based on DVD and the exemplary MMI. Also available are universal preparation for mobile phone and a powerful Bose surround-sound system.Sophisticated and sporty interior can be further enhanced by one of the two aluminum styling packages. Saving standard features, with deep compartments in the doors and two cup holders, can be complemented with a package for storage, consisting of three networks for storage and four extra, practical compartments. Customers who run sports, active life can also choose a mounting hole in the rear panel, through which one can pull a ski bag, big enough to receive two pairs of skis the length of 1.9 m, which until now has not offered in the roadster segment.
On the lengthy list of equipment can be found and xenon plus headlights with adaptive lights, tilt when cornering. It is fitted with headlamp package, which comes standard with Audi 3.2 quattro model...
