Audi has confirmed that its UK dealers will be accepting orders for the new TT RS Plus from early May, with the first deliveries due to follow over the summer.

Available in both Coupé and Roadster guises with a choice of manual or S tronic dual clutch transmissions, on the road prices have been set £3,085 higher than the equivalent TT RS models:

· TT RS Plus Coupé manual - £48,945
· TT RS Plus Coupé S tronic - £50,285

· TT RS Plus Roadster manual - £50,925
· TT RS Plus Roadster S tronic - £52,265

Power comes from a 2.5 litre, five-cylinder TFSI petrol engine that has been tweaked to produce 355 bhp (265 kW / 360 PS) and 465 Nm (342 lb/ft) of peak torque.

The results might not be too spectacular (the zero to 62 mph / 100 km/h times only fall by 0.2 seconds, for example), but they do reinforce the TT’s performance superiority over both the BMW 1 Series M Coupé and Porsche Cayman R.

Standard specification for the RS Plus includes an anthracite mesh front grille with a matt aluminium-look surround, carbon fibre door mirror caps, 19” Rotor cast alloy wheels, satellite navigation, Bluetooth and a sports exhaust system.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

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
