Audi Australia has introduced a model update for the 2012 Audi TT. The major change is the 1.8 TFSI and 2.0 TDI models now come standard with a seven-speed S tronic automatic transmission.
Previously only available with a six-speed manual transmission, the Coupe and Roadster versions of the TT 1.8 TFSI petrol are now standard with the S tronic, as is the TDI Coupe. A six-speed manual can still be specially ordered however.
Power outputs remain the same, with the 1.8 TFSI turbocharged four-cylinder petrol producing 118kW and 250Nm, while the 2.0 TDI – available only as a Coupe – produces 125kW and 350Nm.
Thanks to the lightweight construction of the TT (1280kg), the 1.8 petrol is able to sprint from 0-100km/h in 7.2 seconds with the S tronic, while the TDI manages it in 7.5 seconds. Average fuel economy is rated at 6.4L/100km for the TFSI, and just 5.5L/100km for the TDI.
Both variants come standard with 17-inch alloy wheels, sports seats wrapped in ‘Valetta’ leather, and paddle shifters behind the sports steering wheel for that racy driving experience.

2012 Audi TT Coupe 1.8 TFSI 6 speed manual – $65,450 (special order only)
