• New TT benefits from emissions reduction of 11 per cent compared with predecessor
  • Power increase of up to 14 per cent
  • Customer benefits from the very first mile

Ingolstadt, August 2014 – Audi has made significant gains in reducing the whole-life impact on the environment of its latest high-tech sports car. Compared with its predecessor, the new Audi TT scores high with an increase in power output of up to 14 per cent and a simultaneous decrease in greenhouse gas emissions of 11 per cent. As the premium vehicle manufacturer states in its new life cycle assessment of the third-generation TT, this means that each car in the series saves around 5.5 tonnes of greenhouse gases over its entire life cycle. This includes not just carbon dioxide, but other substances such as methane, nitrous oxide and halogenated organic emissions.

“Our goal is to reduce significantly the overall emissions of each model compared with its predecessor,” states Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Board Member for Technical Development at AUDI AG. “However, it’s not just a matter of what comes out of the exhaust pipe. At Audi, we look at the entire product and process chain associated with mobility.”

A host of technologies have contributed towards the positive life cycle assessment of the Audi TT, including lightweight construction. Thanks to an intelligent combination of materials, Audi engineers have, for the second time in a row, succeeded in reducing the car’s unladen weight. The first model change in 2006 saw weight savings of up to 90 kilograms achieved. With the front-wheel driven 2.0 TFSI engine variant of the new TT now weighing in at just 1,230 kilograms, this means that the car is once again around 50 kilograms lighter than its predecessor.

Weight reduction and intelligent lightweight construction measures also have an impact on the vehicle manufacturing process. Here, it has been possible to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by around nine per cent, or 800 kilograms – 
a result that benefits the customers. The new TT generation offers a better life cycle assessment than its predecessor, right from the very first mile.

The hill-start assist function helps you drive off on a hill. 

If you hold down the foot brake for a time when the vehicle is stationary, the brake pressure is retained for brief a moment after you release the brake pedal – relaxed starting on any hill or incline with no roll-back. As you change from the brake to the accelerator, the car remains stationary for long enough and – thanks to the system’s automatic braking intervention – you can easily pull away without rolling back. Hill-start assist is a particularly valuable feature in combination with a towing bracket.

The LED rear lights are innovative brake lights and tail lights featuring long-lasting LED light sources.

They indicate to other road users when the vehicle is braking, reversing or signalling to turn, and they are highly visible in fog thanks to their light intensity.

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have a whole series of technical advantages over conventional bulbs. The most important of these are their quick reaction times and long service life.

Seeing the brake lights of the car ahead sooner can reduce a driver’s stopping distance, by around 5.5 metres for instance when braking from a speed of 100 km/h (all other conditions being the same). The light-emitting diodes last an entire vehicle life, consume up to 50 percent less energy and take up less space.

The Audi S3 Cabriolet comes with a range of optional satellite navigation systems, which means that being lost becomes a thing of the past. Simply enter a destination using the Multi Media Interface in the centre console, or just say where you want to go, using the advanced voice recognition system.

The most advanced system, MMI navigation plus, features MMI Touch integrated into a rotary pushbutton – enabling users to simply ‘write’ their entry on a touchpad rather than selecting each letter as used in traditional systems.

A high resolution colour screen provides a clear map of your route and incorporates the latest traffic situation into your route helping make the Audi S3 Cabriolet satellite navigation system as user friendly and effective as possible.
