Audi unveils new TT Roadster

[moparnut]

Audi has released the first pictures of the third-generation TT Roadster and TTS Roadster, which will make their debut at the Paris Auto Show next week.

Three engines are available including:

• 2.0L TDI Ultra rated at 184 hp;
• 2.0L TFSI rated at 230 hp;
• 2.0L TFSI rated at 310 hp (TTS).

The power folding soft top uses two electric motors to open or close in just 10 seconds (two seconds faster than before), even when driving at speeds of up to 50 km/h. It also weighs a mere 39 kilos (-3).

Visually, the R8-inspired Singleframe grille is wide and flat, and the four rings are positioned on the hood in the style of a high-performance sports car.

The quattro permanent all-wheel drive system has been fully redeveloped; it is optionally available in combination with the 2.0L TFSI engine in the TT Roadster and is fitted as standard on the TTS Roadster.

Canadian pricing for the new Audi TT Roadster will be announced later.
