Audi A5
All-new high-torque 2.0 TFSI engine is a perfect fit for Audi A5

Latest Turbo FSI engine joins Audi coupé range and reiterates that fun and frugality are far from mutually exclusive.

* A5 2.0 TFSI now available to order in front-wheel-drive or quattro all-wheel-drive forms priced at £28,760 OTR and £30,285 OTR - first deliveries in August

* All-new Turbo FSI engine is based on 1.8 TFSI from new A4, but adds Audi valvelift technology for improved engine "breathing" to maximise performance and efficiency

* 211PS @ 4,300 to 6,000rpm, 350Nm @ 1,500-4,200rpm

* A5 2.0 TFSI 0-62mph in 6.9 seconds, top speed 155mph, combined mpg 42.8, CO2 154g/km

A newly developed Turbo FSI petrol engine available from this week for the Audi A5 provides the sought-after coupe with yet another choice blend of pace and pence-per-mile efficiency. The new 211PS A5 2.0 TFSI can be ordered in either front-wheel-drive or quattro permanent all-wheel-drive forms for £28,760 OTR or £30,285 OTR, and will reach its first UK customers in August.

The new high-tech 2.0-litre unit is derived from the already much praised 1.8 TFSI engine introduced recently in A3, A4 and A5 models, but takes its efficiency a step further still through the use of new Audi valvelift technology. By employing sliding cam units mounted on the intake camshaft that allow for more variation in the degree of valve lift, the engine is able to "breathe" even more effectively, switching to a higher cam profile when strong acceleration is required, or a lower profile that requires less fuel and air compression when throttle usage is more relaxed.

The new 2.0-litre TFSI unit delivers 211PS from 4,300rpm and a very impressive 350Nm torque maximum from just 1,500rpm - more even than the 3.2-litre V6 FSI unit also powering A5 models. It enables the front-wheel-drive A5 2.0 TFSI with six-speed manual transmission to cover the 0-62mph sprint in 6.9 seconds, reach a top speed of 155mph and return up to 42.8mpg according to the combined cycle test. And despite doing full justice in performance terms to the purposeful styling of the A5, it also shows restraint where emissions are concerned, with an output of 154g/km for the front-wheel-drive version.

Standard specification for front-wheel-drive and quattro all-wheel-drive versions of the new A5 2.0 TFSI includes xenon headlamps with trademark LED strip daytime running lamps, 17-inch seven-spoke alloy wheels, 3-zone electronic climate control, a 10-speaker Concert CD audio system, full Milano leather upholstery and rear acoustic parking.

Audi TT TDi Quattro
East Kent Audi are pleased to announce the arrival of the Audi TT TDi Quattro.

* Acclaimed Audi TT Coupé and Roadster models adopt a diesel engine for the first time in their 10-year history

* Powered by the latest 2.0-litre, four-cylinder TDI engine with ultra-efficient common rail fuel injection incorporating piezo injectors

* Already compliant with proposed Euro 5 emissions legislation, and over 20 per cent more CO2-efficient than petrol equivalent

* 170PS at 4,200rpm, 350Nm from 1,750rpm to 2,500rpm

* TT TDI Coupe 0-62mph in 7.5 seconds, top speed 140mph, 53.3mpg combined consumption, CO2 140g/km

* TT TDI Roadster 0-62mph in 7.7 seconds, top speed 138mph, 51.3mpg combined consumption, CO2 145g/km

Standard UK specification for the new TT 2.0 TDI quattro mirrors the familiar 2.0 TFSI petrol version, offering features such as 17-inch Trapez alloy wheels, leather and Alcantara-upholstered sports seats, electronic climate control and an MP3-compatible 140-watt Audi Concert audio system with single CD drive. The Roadster adds a fully automatic electrically operated soft-top and integrated wind deflector.

The undivided attention to weight-saving also proves its worth in the comfort of the TT?s ride and the nimbleness of its handling, which in the best traditions of all higher-torque sporting Audis is backed up by quattro permanent four-wheel-drive. The space-age Audi magnetic ride adaptive damping system, employing specially developed dampers filled with a magnetic fluid that reacts to an electrical charge, will also be available as an option for driving enthusiasts who want to extract the very best from the sophisticated aluminium-rich suspension.
