Audi TT 2007 Diesel
July 12, 2006 by Alborz Fallah
I could only imagine the smiles on the Audi managers faces when Audi won Le Mans with the Diesel Powered R-10, and then raced the R-10 against a Harrier Jet fighter for 1km and lost in the last dying seconds, sure they lost, but here we have a Diesel powered car taking on a Jet Fighter, things are definitely changing!
And so with the continuing success of Diesel around the world and the growing credibility of Diesel powered cars, Audi has been suggesting that the new Audi TT will be offered with a Diesel engine! I have previously wrote about the new Audi TT if you want to check it out. There is also an article here about the making of the Audi TT.
However what really makes me wonder is how the Audi TT is going to work with a Diesel engine, I mean, its a small car! what sort of Diesel engine are they going to fit in there? The only one that comes to mind is the 2.0L four-cylinder diesel engine from the VolksWagen Passat (and Golf) which produces 170 hp. Nothing has so far been officially confirmed by Audi but things are looking promising for the Diesel fans.
An Audi TT powered by Diesel? I can’t wait to see that!

I just hope that Audi will also bring that to the U.S.
Audi TT diesel version seems like a a practical and exciting ride for me.
the united states is the perfect place for diesel vehicles for several reasons. we have speed limits of 55mph to 75mph and hence don’t really need massive horsepower which is what is required to go 140mph. our driving is 0-60mph which is torque and torque alone which diesels make in abundance. the reason u.s. citizens have never liked small underpowered cars is that merging onto highways in the u.s. with 60 ton trucks whizzing past you at 80mph you better be able to get from 0-60mph in less than a year. yes diesel is fossil fuel, but biodiesel is not, and i have read biodiesel will run most diesel vehicles fine except in very cold climates. but nonetheless, 1 gallon of diesel fuel will take a mercedes e series car 37miles per gallon where gas will take that same car 24miles per gallon. we just cut our fuel usage by more than 30% without sacrificing anything. i need a large vehicle as i carry big items in my job as a salesman, and i need 4 wheel drive as i cover area which have heavy snows and hilly areas. i can’t wait until more european and japanese manufacturers bring these vehicles to the u.s. so i can get out of my present 17mpg suv and get into a 30-40mpg vehicle.
The Audi TT was a boring piece of crap in petrol god they made it worse ? Mate you do know the rest of the world has the same driving conditions as America don’t you,hard to believe I know but true. F*** Americans are ignorant . “American’s dont like small cars because of 60 ton trucks wizzing past you ” What you think the big barges you make are better ?

Hmmm. That’s odd.
On November 29th, 2006, the Audi TT was voted ‘Drive Car of The Year for 2006′
Read the article. The page link is provided below…
“After six days and a combined 20,000km driving 48 cars, the Drive team voted for one overall winner of the inaugural Drive Car of the Year award. JOSHUA DOWLING recalls the late nights and long discussions that led to Audi’s second-generation coupe getting the big vote.”…
