is that six months ago at the Geneva Auto Show that Audi unveiled the third-generation TT the 2015 model now six months later we've got the Roadster version just in time for winter earthly the roadster does away with the token rear seats found on the hardtop instead you get a power soft top which is made with magnesium and aluminum components saving some six pounds over the previous version the convertible but still you're gonna pay about a 200 pound penalty over the hardtop version weighs about 2,900 pounds the interior of the Roadster is much the same as in the hardtop - the obvious difference of course we're sitting in an S model which gets nice quilted leather seats and a lot of other little interior details let's separate it from the base model but the most important piece is this twelve point three inch virtual dashboard six waited here behind the steering wheel you get all the information that you need through this one display including speed engine rpm is controlled by the Audi MMI system with this touch wheel here that we have fallen in love with on other cars works right here Invidia power gives you plenty of performance so it's nice and responsive and this is one of the coolest pieces of car tech we've seen a long long time it'll be two motors on option for the TT Roadster base will be a four-cylinder turbocharged diesel motor 180 horsepower and 55 miles per gallon this one's got the Petzl version here also a four cylinder also turbocharged putting out 310 horsepower consumption drops to about 30 miles per gallon but it will gets to zero to 60 in about 4.9 seconds which is pretty respectable base transmission will be a 6-speed manual but there will be a dual-clutch six-speed available as well you want to enable extra for us pricing has not been announced but look at about 39,000 euro in the UK the start we're gonna be probably expecting something in the mid 40s the US when this is available early next year to students at the Paris Auto Show looking at the new Audi TT throats
