The Association of Scottish Motoring Writers has voted the Audi TT its Coupé of the Year for 2015

  • Audi TT is named Coupé of the Year in the Scottish Car of the Year Awards
  • Pricing starts from £27,150 OTR for Sport and £29,700 OTR for S line specification
  • Full engine range also available to order for the TT Roadster, fitted with a fully automatic and acoustic fabric roof as standard
  • Recently introduced 1.8 TFSI with 180PS now also available for both variants
  • Flagship 310PS TTS quattro can be specified as a Coupé or Roadster

Lauded for its enduring appeal as an engaging yet practical everyday sportscar, the Audi TT has received even more top honours by winning the coveted Coupé category in the annual Scottish Car of the Year Awards (SCOTY) held in Edinburgh on Friday.

Highly praised by the esteemed panel of judges who comprise the Association of Scottish Motoring Writers, President Alisdair Suttie summed up the category win by commenting: "The Audi TT embodies all that is best about coupés. Sporting, sleek and great to drive, yet practical for everyday use and a spread of engines that goes from fast and frugal to just plain fast! A huge hit with the judges, the TT also offers all-wheel drive to be the perfect coupé for Scotland."

All models are equipped with an extensive standard specification featuring highlights such as Audi drive select, a retractable rear spoiler and the Audi Virtual Cockpit, which is an all-digital instrument display that delivers pin-sharp resolution across a 12.3-inch LCD screen. The full potential of this system can be unlocked by choosing the optional Technology Package with MMI Navigation Plus, allowing the 3D mapping facility to fill almost the entire screen in vivid colour when desired. The same package also includes the Audi connect suite of services, such as Google Earthe, Twitter, online news, the cheapest fuel prices and other useful information like plane and train times.

Reserved as standard for the S line specification are all-weather LED headlights and tail lights as well as the no-cost option of 10mm lower suspension, plus various S line specific styling enhancements inside and out.

Both Sport and S line models can be enhanced with a raft of other options like Audi magnetic ride, a Bang & Olufsen sound system, Audi Matrix LED headlights and deluxe automatic air conditioning with digital displays integrated into the air vents.

1.8 TFSI now available

Further contributing to the reputation of the TT as a highly rewarding driver’s car is a new 1.8 TFSI engine that produces 180PS and 250Nm of torque between 1,250 – 5,000 rpm. Mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission, the 1.8 TFSI is the lightest TT in the range and weighs a mere 1,210 kg. Accelerating from standstill to 62 mph takes only 6.9 seconds, with a maximum top speed of 149 mph.

The lightest TT is also one of the most efficient; up to 47.1 mpg is achievable with a CO2 figure of 138g/km, beaten only by the 184 PS 2.0 TDI ultra which peaks at 62.8 mpg combined and has a CO2 output of 116g/km.

Pricing starts from £27,150 OTR for the TT 1.8 TFSI Coupé Sport, rising to £42,495 OTR for the TTS Roadster, which features the most powerful engine in the range – a 310 PS 2.0 TFSI capable of sprinting to 62 mph in just 4.6 seconds. Naturally, the TTS comes equipped with quattro all-wheel drive for immense traction in all conditions, as do 230 PS 2.0 TFSI S tronic versions of the Coupé and Roadster. All TT models are ready to order in the UK now.

Whilst our colleagues in Germany are doing everything they can to make our cars more efficient, at Audi Head Office in Milton Keynes we are also committed to reducing waste.  A lot of what we do isn’t very innovative, you probably recycle paper and switch off unused appliances at home, but it does make a significant difference to our carbon footprint.  On top of this, by investing in technologies like intelligent lighting and video conferencing we are able to work efficiently without compromising our business standards.  And by joining forces with Audi UK’s franchise operation to minimise waste, we are generating tangible environmental benefits across the whole of the network.

All Audi models go through a comprehensive program of crash tests, both computer-simulated and in real life, before they are launched onto the market. 

For homologation purposes, all models go through front impact, side impact and rear impact crash tests, as well as tests for pedestrian protection and interior safety in the presence of the regulatory authorities. 

Furthermore, all Audi models go through a range of crash tests that far exceed the regulatory requirements. Thanks to this comprehensive program of crash tests Audi models exceed the legislative safety standards in all markets.

The sports suspension gives drivers a more dynamic driving experience and lets your Audi make an even sportier impression.

The springs and dampers have a firmer tuning, which optimises contact with the road surface.

Depending on the model line, your Audi with optional sports suspension is between 10 and 20 millimetres lower than with normal suspension. Sports suspension configurations are available for all Audi models.
