At the Paris show, Audi presents the third version of the TT model, which sounds like a sportback, but it is a five-door fastback version of this coupé beauty, which offers passengers four real seats and a corresponding amount of comfort. Under the hood is a technological pearl in the form of a 2.0-liter TFSI that develops as much as 294 kW or 400 hp
Otherwise, the TT sportback is still a study at the moment, but according to the nomenclature, it is a five-door four-seater fastback, which will premiere on Saturday, October 4, 2014 at the official opening of the Paris showroom.
In terms of design, of course, it is largely based on the recently presented third generation Audi TT, but in order to accommodate an additional pair of doors, its length has been increased to a level similar to that of the model A3 sedan. A meter in length shows like this 4.47 meters, while the wheelbase amounts to 2.63 meters. That means it's from its coupe sibling longer by 29 centimeters, and both pairs of wheels are 12 centimeters further apart.
Even more similar than on the outside, the two TTs are inside, where passengers are greeted by a virtually identical center console, including 12.3-inch digital screen in place, classic driver gauges, but practically the only difference is two individual seats in the second rowi, which offer the necessary amount of space and comfort, even though they are in the head area due to the coupé design still limitations.
2.0 TSI with as much as 200 hp per liter of volume
It is set to the same MQB platform such as the TT and many other models of the VW Group, and they were entrusted with the role of the drive 2.0-liter TFSI to a turbo-petrol engine that develops astronomical 294 kW or 400 hp (watch out...as much as 200 hp per liter of volume) and 450 Nm of torque. It transmits power to all four wheels seven-speed S-tronic automatic transmission, which is enough for the sports five-door to cover the hundredth mark on the meter 3.9 seconds, but the average consumption is still only 7.0-liter per 100 km, which means 162 g of CO2 on a km route.

Although the model looks as if it is already practically ready for series production, its market future is at least a little uncertain (or at least that's what Audi wants it to look like for now), since the green light has not yet been given for it. But they will certainly clarify quickly at Audi about this as well.
