Mook Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Some of the comments on there are great: "Crap, no more exclusivity for the TT!! Now any moron will get one. .." "this is gay...soon we'll probably see a 911 diesel or a murcielago TDI..." "why is it gay? so what, diesel is cheaper anyway." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanG Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Confirms what a guy in the States told me. With the 2.0TDI developing some 209bhp these days, its probably going to be a great car. Hopefully with quattro too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Do you reckon they'll do a Quattro in anything "less" than the 3.2 or the TT-S or TT-R? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanG Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 I would reckon that the 209hp TDI will have to be quattro..... Light car and FWD high tourque diesel woould create a fair bit of tyre spinning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 But neither VW nor Audi have learned this lesson. Look at all the 200PS+ FWD cars on the market. Hopefully then will give a 4WD option on the TDI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_C Posted December 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 All the speculation is that quattro will be standard on this car, or at least the higher powered variants of it. The test car in the pics was a quattro: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_C Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 More info now out, here: http://www.fourtitude.com/news/publish/Audi_News/article_3794.shtml Evidently it's going to be at the Geneva show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson_R32 Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Looks like a fantastic (and suprisingly cheap) car, common rail too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadW Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Trouble is if someone asked you what car you drive and you say a TT TDi then they probably think you are Diesiel owner with a stutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliAUDI Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 we'll do well with it. Confirmed as 2.0 TDI 170 Quattro. Starting at £26,350 for the Coupe, and £28,350 for the roadster. Ordering opens from the 6th March Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlot Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I don't think that's bad value. If I was having a coupe, I'd have that over a 2.0 petrol FWD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

962C Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 What model is the dohc V12 at the bottom destined for?! Compactness, apparent lack of turbos and the fact it is dohc would suggest it's a petrol.... yet the RS6 / A8 / S8 / Q7 don't have a V12? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mook Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Yup. The bloody great big intercooler kinda gave that away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

962C Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Taxi for one! Thought the turbo Paul is pointing to was some kind of pump, and the intercooler some kind of radiator. I didn't think Audi built a V12 turbo. I count six coil packs on the top of the bank, not five (ie not an RS6) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallan Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Looks stunning - in white. Tech spec reading is impressive.....Audi don't appear to list it on their website yet!(?).... unless someone knows different. Could be really tempted with this. My trusty S3 might well be looking for a new home.. (whisper it .. less it takes a sulk!) D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
