Audi TTS
Audi presented at the Hall of Detroit (from 19 to 27 January) sportier version of the TT range. It will have to develop more Engine 2.0 TFSI, which raises its power to 272 hp, will be on sale in summer for a competitive price that will depart from 44,900 euros, and is known as Audi TTS. This version top model will be available in both coupe and cabriolet body, and because of its great potential may shine in a segment that includes the Porsche Boxster S or Cayman S (295 hp) and BMW Z4 3.0si (265 hp). Of course, neither will have easy compared with surprising Nissan 350 Z (313 hp), let alone in front of the Mercedes SLK 350 renovated, which will arrive in April with 305 hp.
The new top of the range is distinguished from the rest of the TT, in addition to the logo “TTS” because some alloy wheels, 18 inches in some xenon headlamps with daylight point type. It comes standard with integrated traction and Quattro system suspensions adaptive Magnetic Ride (with mode “Normal” mode or “Sport”, so that the driver chooses at any given moment), so the options are reduced to bodywork open or closed , and manual gearbox or S tronic.
The mechanics is an evolution over 2.0 TFSI that in principle, in the VW Golf GTI, gave 200 hp, and lately, having different variants, as the roof holds the compact Audi S3 with 265 hp. There are now 272 hp, which does not seem barbaric considering that the Super Seat Leon circuit (it is a racing car, but with a rather conservative empowerment) draws 300 hp. The preparation over the initial 2.0 TFSI not summarized to a mere “twist in the turbo” because, as befits a sporting level Audi TT, includes changes in the block, cylinder head, pistons, connecting rods and… logically , in the turbo, which works to a maximum pressure of up to 1.2 bar.
With these modifications the Audi TTS leaves little evidence in the TT 3.2 V6 250 hp because, for a similar amount of money, the TTS weighs less, spend less and runs more. According to the other is a six-cylinder engine in V of 3.2 litres and the TTS a two liter four-cylinder, but of course that this argument will convince very few potential customers. The Audi TT 2.0 TFSI 200-hp front traction and it will remain an attractive option for its lower price. As for the new model which will arrive in mid-year, the coupe version TTS S tronic spends only 7.9 l/100 km and can accelerate from 0 to 100 kph in 5.2 seconds for a tiempazo this level car ! Part of the secret lies in the content weight of 1,395 kilograms, which translates into an advantageous price / yield of 5.1 kg per hp.

Diesel Audi TT
Audi announced the forthcoming arrival of the diesel-powered TT sports, and does so with fantastic figures and consumer benefits. Years ago we had surprised the launch of a model of its kind with diesel mechanics, but now it was hoped that the Audi TT include in its range TDI engines. Already one of its leading rivals such mechanical-the Alfa Romeo Brera and Spider - and inside the house there are examples of hoops as the racing car winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the R10 TDI, or with the prototype diesel mechanics developed from the basis of superdeportivo Audi: A8 TDI.

Diesel Audi TT

The versions will debut shortly with traction are both integral Quattro, with six-speed manual gearbox and with developing 170 hp 2.0 TDI already known in the compact A3 since 2006. Therefore, the alternatives are reduced only to the type of bodywork, as the new Audi TT diesel will be available both for the roadster to the Coupé. As optional elements of these two interesting models contained in the technical part, the ability to mount the adjustable suspension and high-tech Magnetic Ride (modes of operation “manual” or “Sport”), and in the portion of equipment, Adaptive headlamps, the browser or electrically adjustable seats among other things.
From these series Audi TT 2.0 TDI comes with 16-inch wheels and 225/55 R16 tyres, in addition to electronic stability control and other items commonly found in TT gasoline. Its aluminum chassis allows for a very content weight of 1,370 kilograms in the Coupe and 1,415 kilos in the roadster, a tare logically that is greater than the TT 2.0 TFSI traction front but it is even lower than the TT 3.2 V6 Quattro.
The benefits, though slightly worse than those for gasoline TT remain fantastic, and in consumption, saying that the TDI engine with 170 hp spend around two litres per 100 km less than the TFSI and about five liters less that the 3.2 V6. Specifically, in its version Coupe, TT 2.0 TDI accelerates from 0 to 100 kph in 7.5 seconds, reaches 226 km / h and 5.3 litres/100 kilometres spends on average (7.7 seconds, 223 km / h and 5.5 litres/100 km), while CO2 emissions are 140 g / km for the closed model and 145 g / km for the cabriolet.

Audi A3 Cabrio: sensible fun car.
As early as mid-January 2008 will be the new Audi A3 Cabrio to buy. The main data read audi-typical functional and pragmatic: The roof is made of material with a glass rear window, it opens in just nine semi seconds, and even while driving at up to 30 kilometres per hour. A maximum of four people can by two large doors in. The luggage compartment volume is a minimum and a maximum of 260 litres, thanks umklappbarer rear seats, 674 litres - a sensational value for a convertible this class. When the engines but fortunately prevails then the fun factor.
The 1.9 litre TDI with 105 PS is still among the bourgeois offered four engines. His brother, two-liter with 140 hp and 320 Newton metres should have far more driving fun mediate and accelerates the Cabrio scarce in ten seconds from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour. The 1.8 TFSI engine with 160 hp is fine first entry gasoline that with two litres capacity somewhat larger TFSI unit already makes 200 hp. Maximum speed is a veteran 231 kilometers per hour, with a consumption of 7.6 litres good spirits. So the A3 Cabrio definitely a fun car - and it is a damned sensible

Abbot Audi AS4: More optics for more power.
Audi tuner Abt has been the new, beautiful Audi A4. With new front and rear apron, side, rear spoiler lip, diffuser, and especially the big four sports exhaust pipes, the same amount aggressive. From the dynamic design of Audi will be of a sporting Dept. But not only the design was revamped properly, the real benefits of the abbot AS4 and only stuck under the hood. From the 160 hp of 1.8 TFSI engine are optimized thanks to a motor control equal to the 240th For the diesel fans, it is even nicer. The 143 hp of the 2.0 TDI with Abbot history - new performance: up to 200 hp. The Highlight but has yet to come, with the factory has 240 horsepower three-liter TDI. 300 hp and 600 Newton metres are possible here. And so it falls to me even old gasoline-lovers not difficult to purchase a recommendation. The supply must simply have.

One must once anticipated to be said: It’s really fun about all the innovations at the Tokyo Motor Show to report. Although the car show until 22 October starts have been numerous manufacturers with innovative studies pleased the eye and inspires the imagination. Now even Audi. A report of the mirror, according to the Ingolstadt with the Shooting Brake concept design a real gem to the starting line. "Bionic design" that yes anyway in fashion seems to be, ensures that the headlights, according to information from Audi as "open pine cones and flowers" look. But the real novelty in this Audi study is the Naviagtionskonzept. Gone are the tedious operation of the keyboard: the future may destinations with a finger handwritten input.
A separate text recognition makes sure that the right place to be recognized. This is an extra probably the only child in the proverbial man fun. The so-called rally passenger looking for a possible winding route and provides the driver with tips on the right course and speed dial. In terms of moving the engine manufacturers in known waters. Instead, a new approach was calculated at the heart of the cars on the proven 3.2 liter - engine of the TT and A3 snatched back.
Actually, shame!

Audi TTS: Same engine and still more power
Audi presented at the Detroit Motor Show, the sports version of the TT Coupe and Roadster. Optical remains to be very cautious. Only a new front apron, headlights with integrated LED Tagfahrlichtleisten and a rear apron with angedeutetem diffuser betrayed the TTS from the outside. Under the hood remains at first glance everything the same. As I said, at first glance. The barely two-litre TFSI unit was developed by the Audi engineers completely revised and the TTS provides as much as 72 hp more than the basic version. Rich 272 hp in the TTS is a total, 350 Newton meters can be read not only beautiful. As a result of the little two-seater takes only 5.2 seconds from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour. The consumption helped me but almost the most. According to Audi, it is in TTS Coupe only eight litres per 100 kilometres, the Roadster 0.2. If this is true, it would be a really great thing. Or do you?

Audi A4 and A5 with a new 1.8 TFSI engine.
Audi offers for the new middle-class sedan A4 and the big A5 Coupe zweitürige new entry-level engines. The 1.8-litre TFSI engine with four cylinders in providing cheaper A4 120 hp and accelerates the sedan thus still acceptable 10.5 seconds from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour. Also, the maximum speed of 208 km / h is not heard after a weak initial gasoline. Nevertheless: The A5 can with the same engine, 170 hp but obviously better. The sprint to 100 kilometres per hour will remain here with 8.6 seconds in single digits. The maximum speed is 218 cases - ten more than in the A4. That will cost the A5 but also lush 9,000 euros more than the 25,900 euros with fair A4. At least 34,900 euros must therefore lie down for the A5 - I think a lot of powerful Pebbles.

2006 AUDI A6 Allroad
The series launch of the new Audi Allroad has now been officially announced by mid-2006. The Porduktstrategie is somewhat difficult to understand, because the Q7 is also at the same time on the market. For AUDI there are no direct competitors, because the Q7 to be more in the direction of SUVs. Well, I think the two most likely in Kitzbuehel parked or Gstaad. Since the start of the A6 Allraod in 2000, were hitherto little more than a hundred thousand of them sold. A quarter went to the USA, where AUDI wieteres still potential for this model.
As there are two engines gasoline, FS 3.2 and the 4.2 V8, and a 3.0 TDI diesel. All three are also found in the A6. According to Audi is also a 4.0l TDI scheduled for 2007.

Audi RS6: super sports car with a lot of style.
The Audi RS6 - it is for me quite honestly the coolest floor that currently Audi. And so I am also a rear R8. Yes, 580 hp, but that is really the absolute insanity. And a five-litre V10 in these beautiful, unsophisticated A6 Avant to plant, which has just style for me. But this is certainly not the best argument for a RS6 Avant. No, this is pure driving pleasure - in a combined cycle. 650 Newton meters, a surcharge maximum speed, the first at 280 km / h abgeregelt. Not to be forgotten, the acceleration of 4.6 seconds to 100 kilometres per hour. Because you can feel the pressure of the two turbos but upon reading the technical data. And just as I imagine it to be. This is combined with the spacing of the coolest of its kind. And the 106,900 euro, it is worth ten times for me.
