Audi at the Geneva Motor show : Vorsprung Durch Technik!
05 Mar 2008|3,320 views
Audi has seized the chance to showcase four new models at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland. These models are: The Q7 V12 TDI Quattro, the TTS, the TT 2.0 TFSI Quattro and the TT 2.0 TDI.
The models in brief:
The Q7 V12 TDI Quattro
This monster is so far the most powerful diesel powered SUV in its class. The V12 engine under the hood generates 368 kW (500 hp) of power and 1,000 Nm (757.56 lb-ft) of torque from six liters of displacement, enabling it to perform like a sportscar. The six-liter engine thrusts the Audi Q7 from zero to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 5.5 seconds.
The Audi Q7 V12 TDI quattro's engine torque flows through a smooth six-speed tiptronic that was specially designed for the six-liter diesel engine. The driver can shift the gears of the automatic transmission either with the selector lever or manually with the standard chromed shift paddles on the three-spoke steering wheel.
The quattro drive distributes the power to the front and back wheels in a 40:60 ratio - giving the vehicle a sporty, rear-focused driving style that guarantees maximum agility and driving enjoyment.
Presales of the Audi Q7 V12 TDI will begin in the second half of 2008. The most powerful diesel vehicle in its class is the exclusive top-of-the-line model in the Q7 range.
The Audi TTS
The new sports car from Audi comes in 2 body forms: a 2 + 2-seater coupe or a roadster. Under its hood lies a two-liter TFSI high-performance engine delivering 200 kW (272 hp). This power propels the TTS Coupe with S tronic to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) from a standstill in just 5.2 seconds and a street legal top speed of 250 km/h (155.34 mph).
Transmission of the engine's power is handled as standard in the TTS by a manual six-speed gearshift with light-weight magnesium housing. As an alternative, customers can opt for S-tronic, which operates using six gears and two clutches positioned one behind the other.
S-tronic is capable of performing extremely quick gear shifts at high engine loads and rev speeds; consequently, the time taken to sprint from zero to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) is cut by a further two-tenths of a second in both the Coupe and Roadster. Loss-free transfer of power to the road is the task of the standard quattro permanent all-wheel drive that enables the TTS to accelerate with pace and stability. At the heart of this system is a swift hydraulic multi-plate clutch.
The Audi TTS instantly stands out as the dynamic flagship of the TT model line. One of the design highlights is undoubtedly the headlights - newly designed bi-xenon units featuring a horizontal strip of white LEDs that serve as daytime running lights. The single-frame grill in a platinum gray finish is embellished with slender chrome strips, while large air intakes in the restyled front apron add to the striking look.
The interior is dominated by the multifunctional leather sports steering wheel. The extended aluminum styling and heated sports seats with their leather/Alcantara upholstery are further highlights. An automatic air conditioning system and Isofix child seat mountings on the front passenger seat are designed to enhance both comfort and safety.
The Audi TT 2.0 TDI Quattro & Roadster Quattro
The Audi TT 2.0 TDI Coupe quattro and Audi TT Roadster 2.0 TDI quattro are the first series-production sports cars to feature diesel engines.
The 2.0 TDI in the Audi TT Coupe and the Audi TT Roadster delivers 125 kW (170 hp) at 4,200 rpm and sends a full 350 Nm (258.15 lb-ft) of torque to the crankshaft at engine speeds between 1,750 and 2,500 rpm.
The TT Coupe 2.0 TDI quattro sprints from zero to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in just 7.5 seconds and it reaches 226 km/h (140.43 mph). The TT Roadster accelerates to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 7.7 seconds and keeps going up to 223 km/h (138.57 mph).
Audi has combined its two diesel-engine sports cars with highly effective manual six-speed transmissions whose short lever travel allows the driver to shift quickly, easily and precisely. In light of their high torque values, Audi is equipping both of its new TT models with quattro permanent all-wheel drive. The heart of this system is an electronically controlled, hydraulically activated multi-plate clutch, which is located in the rear of the vehicle for improved weight distribution.
