Audi TT Quattro

Quattro...

Four wheels that stick to the road. Real value of it can be seen in real life. While most reviewers often say that TT is too neutral, to safe, not thrilling and such, they forget that cars are driven by normal people who are no driving experts. What happens in real life is that car like Audi TT is superior in handling in hands of normal people.

I stumbled on this video where you can clearly see what happens if someone tries to outrun an Audi TT quattro during rain in curves. Quattro was invented and put into use to make this possible. No need to speak in technical language to see what all wheel drive does. Just see and judge for yourself... Look why Audi TT is one of the safest cars ever built.

I only hope that guy in BMW wasn't hurt too much...



Why should you get Audi TT?

Well, there is a little story about this car. This car is made with big passion and excitement, I believe someone had a dream and made it real and reachable for everyone.

If you are up to feel a dream, there you go: sit in this car and grab a wheel, you'll feel dazzled and safe. I had a chance to do that and TT took my heart. Are you up to fall in love?

Audi made second recall?

clock August 29, 2009 23:42 by author GleGleMe

Audi TTs 2008-2009 with S tronic were being recalled due to faulty temperature sensor in transmission. However, seems that second recall involving (again!) vehicles with S tronic transmission due to some performance problem. Audi TT 2007-2009 models are apparently involved to some faulty component in Mechatronic unit. Seems to me that good old manual transmission is the winner in reliability!

Wander who produces this components for Audi TT? Looks like they should work more on quality engineering....

This coul be then something like social network micro web site for Audi TT fans...

Auti tt - Did you mean: Audi tt

clock August 29, 2009 01:43 by author GleGleMe

"Auti tt? Did you mean: Audi tt?"

If you search an Audi TT you must have seen this. Smart search engines recognize typos. Which happen when Audi TT  gets searches 3.350.000 monthly!

Auti tt, audii tt, auddi tt, audie tt, and auidi tt with adui tt are top five! Typos are mostly made by Germans (54%).

Not surprisingly, they search most informations on Audi TT cars. Second place is United Kingdom (30%) and third United States (16%). So, this gives also good image who shares greatest interest for Audi TT (Auti TT ;-). Funny thing is that in Croatian (my native language) term Auti literaly means cars. So we can say that Audi = Cars. If we would let statistics speak... ;-)
I made small table with most frequent typos if you like semantic or defects analysis. Left column contains search phrase and right one monthly frequency. For example, "audii tt" is typed 1600 times in a month, "auti tt rs" got 110 searches.

Audi TT – first quattro with solar power

clock August 27, 2009 09:36 by author GleGleMe

Audi TT  Solar-Assisted Electric Vehicle

Audi TT was invention by its own unique design. Just recently, it was first diesel powered sports car. Now, Audi TT is first quattro vehicle with electric engine in the world!

Graduate and undergraduate students from Georgia Tech University formed a racing team called Solar Jackets. In order to find new an creative ways to use solar power they modified and Audi TT 2001 model into what they call Solar-Assisted Electric Vehicle (SAEV). Powered by combination of solar cells and batteries Audi TT has range of 70 miles and can be recharched through normal electric outlet!

Keeping original Audi quattro transmission, reducing weight, and optimising aerodynamics, they managed to keep top performance. In order to prove capability of this vehicle they intend to race

on 2010 North American Solar Challenge and across Australia in the 2011 World Solar Challenge.

Further planned improvement are installation of lithium-ion batteries which should in turn further reduce weight and increase range to 120 miles.

Great idea made through great people on great car!
