New TT here for September



Audi have fixed September next as the date for the introduction into Ireland of their new second generation Audi TT Coupe.

Two models will be available here initially -a four cylinder 2.0-litre, 200bhp Turbo FSI version and a V6 3.2-litre, 250bhp quattro version, both with fixed head, hard top roof and six-speed manual gearbox. Soft top versions will be available in 2007 with other derivatives following in due course

Though prices have yet to be finalised, it is expected that the 2.0-litre version will arrive just below €50,000 with the 3.2-litre quattro at around €70,000 or below.
