It is due here in the fourth quarter of 2014.
When the first generation Audi TT made its debut in 1998, its design was seen as nothing short of revolutionary.
The new car is 50kg lighter than before and has a lower centre of gravity and driving position and also comes with lower fuel consumption and improved driving dynamics with better handling. The revised quattro all-wheel drive system delivers greater high speed stability and traction.
At launch the new TT and TTS will be available with three four-cylinder engines featuring turbocharging and direct injection. Power outputs range from 184hp to 310hp. The most popular engine choice in Ireland will be the 2.0 TDI equipped with a manual gearbox and front-wheel drive. It can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 7.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 234km/h yet is also good for up to 4.2 L/100kms which translates into C02 emissions of 110g/km a new record low level in the sports car world.
You type what you are looking for on the touchpad - an address a contact, a point of interest or a song title and the virtual cockpit will retrieve the results. The functionality is supported by in-built 4G data connectivity, even faster again which helps drive features such as Google Earth and enabling a Wi-Fi hotspot.
Audi MD Christian Gussen is pictured with the new TT at last night's reveal. Prices have yet to be announced.
