• All-new third generation TT reinvents Audi's sporty design icon
  
• New TT range starts at $71,950 MLP, 2.0 TFSI engine across the range
  
• Innovative technology like the Audi virtual cockpit fitted as standard

Australia, February 20, 2015 – The all-new third generation Audi TT has arrived in Australia. Starting at just $71,950, the combination of sharper pricing and advanced technology offered as standard equipment across the range is sure to create new excitement in the small sports car segment.

"The original TT defined the future direction of Audi when it was shown 20 years ago, in 1995," said Andrew Doyle, Managing Director of Audi Australia.

"It came before the R8 supercar and before our incredible run of success at Le Mans. A lot of time had passed since the iconic Sport quattro S1, and the original TT really pointed to Audi becoming the dynamic, exciting brand it is today.

"The all-new new third-generation model extends the sporty concept that the original began, and now more than ever, the new TT is a true sports car and also a technology leader. In Australia, we know that our TT customers place a high value on the kind of technology that is showcased in this car, so we have worked hard to ensure a really outstanding level of standard equipment.

"With more than 300 orders already held for the new TT, we are confident that it will be the most successful ever," said Mr Doyle.

All TT models are powered by a 2.0 TFSI engine that is more powerful and more efficient than before. It produces 169kW and 370Nm, which is ideal for sporty drivers. Available with both a six-speed manual and a six-speed dual-clutch S tronic transmission, also either with front-wheel drive or quattro all-wheel-drive, the new TT can reach 100km/h from rest in as little as 5.3 seconds, while returning fuel efficiency figures as low as 5.9 litres per 100km.

Continuing Audi's ultra lightweight philosophy through use of the Audi Space Frame (ASF), the third-generation TT is up to 50 kg lighter than its predecessor. The new TT also benefits from a new generation of quattro all-wheel drivetrain technology, which through the use of advanced software, actively sends more drive to the rear wheels during dynamic driving.

The Audi TT is on offer in two distinct model lines: Sport and S line. The very high level of standard equipment in both model lines sets new standards in this segment.

Highlights in the Sport line are:

• Innovative Audi virtual cockpit with multifunction sports steering wheel
• MMI Navigation plus with MMI touch, DVD player, 10GB music storage, live traffic and map updates
• 18-inch alloy wheels in a dynamic new design
• Xenon plus headlights with LED daytime running lights
• Convenience key
• Electric front seats with electric lumbar support
• Audi parking system plus (front and rear)
• Rich Alcantara and leather trim
• Audi Drive select
• Ambient interior lighting
• Storage and luggage compartment package

In addition to the above, S line models also feature:

• S line sport interior and exterior styling
• S sport front seats in rich Alcantara and leather, with pneumatic bolsters
• 19-inch alloy wheels in a dynamic titanium contrast design
• Full LED headlights including dynamic rear indicators
• Audi sound system (5ch amplifier, total output of 155w through 9 speakers and 2 subwoofers)
• Digital radio

Matrix LED headlights (with dynamic indicators at the front and rear), as well as a selection of sporty new alloy wheel designs up to 20 inches in diameter are also available for all models.
