Test drive Audi TT compartment 1998 - 2006 compartment

A large -caliber toy

Audi TT debuted in 1998. It is offered with two types of bodies: a 2+2 compartment (in fact - a three -door hatchback) and a double open rubber. The turbocharged gasoline engine with a volume of 1.8 liters is located in front and depending on the degree of forcing develops 150 (only for the relatives), 180 or 225 liters. With. Machines with the first two units are equipped with front -wheel drive and a mechanical five -speed gearbox; for the second and third options, all -speed and six -speed KP are designed.

Let's raise the roof, I can't do that anymore! - the photographer was beating at the next traffic light.
Hanged by spoilers, a bright yellow Audi TT on huge nine-inch rinks, goring a release and whistling turbocharges, like a magnet, attracts the attention of passers-by and carriers. And you won’t hide from him in the shell of a closed cab: overlapping through the raised glass, the skin burns other people's eyes - frankly curious and made -pronounced, interested and evaluating, admiring and hostiles. Now I understand that the models on the catwalk feel and where many have this look at many - he himself automatically fenced off the same from the rest of the world.
Green was lit - with pleasure I press the accelerator to the floor. The feeling that I set fire to an accelerator wick - a chill in his chest and delight in his head. But the short cord burned out - the engine spun up to 3500 rpm, exploded with a powerful pickup, and the yellow bullet flew forward, taking away from someone else's unceremoniousness. The arrow of the tachometer rushes in the sector from four to six thousand, the hand does not have time to distort the shutter of the gearbox.
Even serial Audi TT with a turbo engine of only 1.8 liters produces a capacity of 225 liters. With. and accelerates to 100 km/h for 6.9 s. What can we say about the tuning version of Sportline from the ABT studio. Thanks to the installation of a sports production with four chrome -caliber chrome trunks, the modification of the inlet system and the engine control program has increased to 265 liters. with., And for overclocking up to a hundred now there are enough 5.6 s! And already high specific power now reached 147 liters. S./l.
The flip side is a narrow operating range. Therefore, a six -speed box here is very helpful. It is made in a three -sided one, because squeezing six steps into a double -sized circuit during a transverse layout of the power unit does not allow the width of the motor compartment. In addition, depending on the program, one of the two main pairs is included - 4.20 for I -IV and 3.32 - for V, VI and reverse. A full-wheel drive transmission helps effectively realize enormous potential: when slipping the front wheels, especially probable with intensive acceleration due to their unloading, the multi-disc sleaches of the Haldex will connect the rear ones.
Great dynamic characteristics require powerful brakes: the diameter of the front ventilated brake discs, which also became perforated, increased to 322 mm, four piston calipers are installed. The wheels are also matching: the back - wide, dimensions of 275/30R19, in front - a little more, only 235/35R19, but even they barely fit in expanded wheel arches and limit the angles of rotation - they had to unfold at a rather large platform in two doses. The other has become the suspension: more rigid, short, more regulated, it allows you to achieve optimal settings. This is evidenced by the first two places that were won by sports prototypes Audi TT-R in the starting race of the German DTM series of the German series. By the way, the design of the wiper, which issues a tuning car from afar, also migrated from here - instead of two brushes, only one with a catchy yellow deflector is strictly vertically in the middle of the windshield.
However, the car did not turn into a purely sports shell - it is suitable for normal operation. For example, the road clearance can be increased by about 30 mm - on our front spoiler is 140 mm from the asphalt, which is not so little even for an ordinary passenger car. By the way, it is convenient to put a hard plastic top for the winter - two will cope with this in a couple of minutes. There is a complete set of safety tools here: from the multifunctional stabilization system to four pillows. And in the case of turning the crew, a strong windshield frame and two aluminum-arches are protecting the crew. Of course, a climatic installation, an audio system of a bosose concert with a capacity of 225 watts, a six -disc chainer, electric drives of glasses and mirrors, leather steering wheel and seats with Alcantara inserts and heating, xenon headlights and much more. There is even a small trunk with a volume of 180 liters. True, it’s hard to believe that someone will seriously decide to carry something to Audi TT ABT, except for himself and a pretty companion. Then the roof and complexes are down, the hair in the wind - look and envy!
