The TT V6 Quattro's combination of the high-torque 3.2-litre
engine, innovative sports gearbox and quattro permanent four-wheel
drive enhances the dynamic driving qualities of the Audi TT
in a unique way.
The Audi TT Coupe 3.2 quattro completes the sprint from 0 to
60 miles per hour in 6 seconds, whilst its top speed is electronically
capped at 155 mph. The power source is the proven 3.2-liter
V6 engine with four valves per cylinder.
The six-cylinder
engine is particularly well-suited to the sporty Audi TT by
virtue of its outstanding torque and power characteristics,
especially in combination with the new twin-clutch transmission.
The engine now delivers 250 bhp and a broad peak-torque range
with a maximum value of 236 lb-ft from 2,800 to 3,200 rpm.
The New Direct-Shift Gearbox DSG
The revolutionary Direct-Shift Gearbox combines the advantages
of a conventional 6-speed manual gearbox with the qualities
of a modern automatic transmission. The driver thus benefits
from enormous agility and driving enjoyment with acceleration
that is as harmonious as it is dynamic, without any interruption
in the power flow. This is combined with good economy thanks
to low fuel consumption, and convenient operation.
The basis for this new development is a three-shaft 6-speed
manual gearbox which offers considerable variability in the
selection of the transmission ratio. Thanks to the use of a
twin multi-plate clutch with ingenious electro-hydraulic control,
two gears can be engaged at the same time.
During dynamic operation of the car, one gear is engaged. When
the next gearshift point is approached, the appropriate gear
is preselected, but its clutch kept disengaged. The gearshift
process opens the clutch of the activated gear and closes the
other clutch at the same time with a certain overlap. The gear
change takes place under load, with the result that a permanent
flow of power is maintained.
The dynamism of the new top-of-the-range TT is also in evidence
elsewhere. The front apron has been aerodynamically optimised
and incorporates side gills. It has enlarged inlet openings
to cover the increased cooling air requirements. The modified
rear spoiler and a honeycomb-pattern diffuser
trim are the distinguishing features at the rear. The larger
rear spoiler further reduces rear-end lift, in line with the
performance gain of the TT 3.2 quattro. The good drag
coefficient remains unchanged at Cd = 0.32.
The TT 3.2 quattro in addition has xenon lights with automatic
range control and titanium-colored
headlight trims as standard.
Inside, this model is distinguished from other TT versions by
an aluminum gearbox surround and an instrument cluster with
a speedometer that reads up to 200 mph. Shift paddles mounted
on the steering
wheel produce that genuine motorsport feel.
Like all TT models, the 2006 version has an excellent safety
equipment package, including two front airbags and pyrotechnic
belt tensioners for the front seats. Head/thorax airbags in
the front seat backs protect the upper body and head in a side
impact.
