Audi TTS Limited Edition launched

To celebrate the production of the 500,000th TT, Audi has unveiled the TTS Limited Edition.

Available in coupé or roadster form, a familiar formula is used to differentiate it from the regular model. On the outside, there’s special paintwork (Imola Yellow for the soft-top version, Nimbus Grey for the coupé), larger 19” five-spoke wheels and a rear spoiler borrowed from the TT RS.

Complementing the exterior is a cabin that’s upholstered in Impulse Grey leather with either yellow or grey ‘baseball’ style stitching. Extra equipment includes cruise control, rear parking sensors, automatic wipers and headlights, satellite navigation and a Bose audio system. As a finishing touch, there’s a commemorative plaque too.

Mechanically things are unchanged, meaning power comes from a 2.0 litre turbocharged engine that develops 268 bhp (200 kW / 272 PS) with 350 Nm (258 lb/ft) of peak torque. Buyers have a choice of either a six-speed manual gearbox or the optional S tronic twin-clutch transmission.

Production is being restricted to just 500 examples, although the UK seems to be getting a decent share as 120 are coming here.

The TTS Limited Edition coupé costs from £38,860, while the roadster starts at £42,320. Those amounts represent premiums of £2,815 over the usual TTS prices, but Audi reckons it buys an extra £5,665 of specification.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
