The Audi TT’s third generation is now available in South Africa with a facelift that includes a sporty and refined exterior design, higher-powered engines and an extended scope of standard equipment.<\/p>\n

Audi said it has refined the design of the new TT range, enhanced its performance and extended the range of standard equipment.<\/p>\n

Besides the driver-oriented Audi virtual cockpit with racing gauges, the basic version of the new model now features the Audi drive select dynamic handling system, Audi smartphone interface, parking aid plus, power-adjustable front seats and the multifunction steering wheel plus, with which the infotainment and voice control system can be controlled entirely using the steering wheel.<\/p>\n

Also standard are the illuminated USB ports as well as MMI navigation plus.<\/p>\n

“The exterior design of the new TT range is now more masculine, more progressive and even sportier than before. The front features a three-dimensional single-frame radiator grille and large side air inlets emphasise the vehicle’s width dimensions,” Audi said.<\/p>\n

At the rear, horizontal lines underscore the breadth of the new Audi TT. There is no cap underneath the tank flap with its classic TT design; the driver can insert the fuel pump nozzle directly into the opening. Headlights with LED technology is part of its standard equipment, however Matrix LED technology is optionally available.<\/p>\n

“The dynamic turn signals are usual visual highlights on this model as well,” the German carmaker said.<\/p>\n

It said that the new designed, optional S line exterior package underscores the athletic character of the Audi TT range even more. It includes a full-length front splitter, vertical air inlets, a radiator grille in titanium black and specific side sills with inserts as well as a sporty rear end. Added is a wider diffuser and vertical air inlets below the rear lights with three horizontal fins each.<\/p>\n

The Audi TT and TTS Coup\u00e9 is 4.19 metres in length with short overhangs and the wheelbase measures 2.51 metres. The face-lifted TT range includes 19-inch wheels in five different designs.<\/p>\n

Three new body colours complete the range of paint finishes: cosmos blue, pulse orange and turbo blue (S line models only).<\/p>\n

High-powered engines<\/strong><\/p>\n

Audi South Africa will offer two petrol engine derivatives as part of the local Audi TT range. The Audi TT Coup\u00e9 45 TFSI S tronic includes 169 kW of power and the Audi TTS Coup\u00e9 quattro S tronic produces 228 kW of power.<\/p>\n

The 45 TFSI is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, while the TTS is mated to a six-speed S tronic transmission. The close-ratio lower gears enable powerful acceleration, while the wide ratio of each transmission’s highest gear keeps the engine speed down.<\/p>\n

If the customer chooses the S line sport package or Audi magnetic ride, the body is lowered by ten millimetres. Other chassis highlights include progressive steering, four-link rear suspension and Electronic Stabilisation Control (ESC).<\/p>\n

The wheel-selective torque control is activated in fast cornering and improves handling as required by means of precise brake interventions on the unloaded wheels on the inside of a curve.<\/p>\n

The sports car character is also underscored by the driver-oriented interior with its clear lines. The slender instrument panel resembles an aircraft wing; the round air vents with integrated controls allude to jet engines – a classic TT detail, Audi said.<\/p>\n

Sport seats with integrated head restraints are standard on the Audi TT range.<\/p>\n

The Audi TT Coup\u00e9 45 TFSI S tronic is priced at R670,000<\/strong> and the Audi TTS Coup\u00e9 quattro S tronic is priced at R782,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Both models come standard with the 5 year \/ 100 000km Audi Freeway plan and inclusive of all taxes.<\/p>\n
