A new TT enhanced for 2010

For 2010, Audi has tweaked up their popular TT model to continue their success of producing the most popular sports coupe in Britain.

The new version has been given a subtle once-over in design and some new engines. New front and rear bumpers bookend the car, and there’s a new diffuser at the rear. More obvious changes are to the lights, which have LED elements up front. Sporty S Line models get a new grille, and there are a couple of new wheel designs and paint choices too.

Since its launch in 2006, the second-generation Audi TT has gone from strength to strength, combining style with performance that would favour any driver needing to spice up their travels.

Audi has decided not to make too many alterations with the design of their popular TT, which is perhaps the leading factor behind why most Britons choose a TT over a BMW Z4 or Mercedes SLK.

However, where it gets more interesting is under the bonnet. A new, cleaner 2-litre TFSI engine which is more efficient and powerful than the unit it replaces.

The new engine sees power boosted from 200bhp to 211bhp and torque raised from 206 to 258lb/ft, while economy increases from 36.7mpg to 42.8mpg, with emissions dropping from 183 to 154g/km.

With a quicker speed of62mph in just 6.1 seconds and a 3 mph increase in speed, up to 152mph, the Audi TT propels at its fastest pace yet!

A 1.8-litre version is also available, giving only half a second away to the 2-litre in the 0-62mph stakes, while a cost-conscious 2-litre TDI is also offered. The diesel is only slightly slower than the 1.8, but emits just 139g/km and can return 53mpg.

The subtle changes add up to an awful lot when it comes to looking at lifetime owning costs. Of course, options like the Sport button create a little more excitement, and keep the Audi TT among the best choices for a small sports car.
The TT price ranges from £24,690 to £46,715.
