Audi TT Roadster production

The 2015 Audi TT Roadster has gone into production at the company's plant in Gy?r, Hungary.

Set to become the forth model built at the plant, the TT Roadster has a stylish exterior with a power folding fabric roof which opens and closes in 10 seconds and can be operated at speeds up to 50 km/h (31.1 mph).

Under the hood, three different engines will be available. The 2.0-liter TFSI produces 230 PS (169 kW) and 370 Nm (273 lb ft) of torque, while the 2.0-liter TDI cranks out 184 PS (135 kW) and 380 Nm (280 lb-ft) of torque. If that's not powerful enough, the TT S has a turbocharged 2.0-liter TFSI four-cylinder engine that develops 310 PS (228 kW) and 380 Nm (280 lb-ft) of torque. It enables the roadster to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in as little as 4.9 seconds before hitting an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).

In a statement, Audi CEO Rupert Stadler said “The start of production of the new Audi TT Roadster underscores Audi Hungaria’s position in our worldwide production network." He added, “The Gy?r site makes a significant contribution to our growth and strengthens our international competitiveness.”
