2001 Audi Tt Convertible on 2040-cars
Tampa, Florida, United States
I'm second owner, has 73850 miles, manual transmission, it’s been great – especially with the top down. The improvement in gas mileage over my previous vehicle, a Chevy Tahoe, is incredible – 19/27 mpg! However, it’s just too sporty for me.
Plus the suspension is low and stiff – great for handling but not as comfortable/soft as I would like.
All regular maintenance has been performed (brake fluid every two years, coolant flushed, synthetic oil, etc.).
The timing belt and water pump have been replaced as preventive maintenance.
The wheels/tires, suspension, and brakes/rotors were upgraded less than a year ago.
In addition to the coil-over suspension, the rubber bushings were replaced with hard polyutherane bushings which, while improving handling, have stiffened the feel of the steering. When the steering wheel is turned at a stop or at low speeds like in a parking lot it makes a creaking sound. The result at high speeds however is a vast improvement in handling.
The instrument cluster is fading and hard to read in daylight and the fuel gage works but shows full as full and ½ as empty – the needle does drop gradually from full to ½ as fuel is used. Plus, there is a low fuel indicator light and tone.
There are also general signs of wear as would be expected with a used car.
The a/c, electric convertible top, windows, locks, and radio/cd changer all work perfectly.
The top, which looks great and does not leak at all, has had the stitching reinforced around the rear window to prevent further weakening of the rubber seal from the heat.
The engine idles perfectly and the clutch shifts smoothly. The coil packs and spark plugs were also replaced less than a year ago.
Clear Florida title in hand. Two keys, the original books, and service records are also included.

2014 Audi SQ5 ditches diesel, still packs a punch
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Over in Europe-land, the Audi SQ5 is a diesel-powered monster capable of sending a whopping 479 pound-feet of torque to its wheels. Naturally, this beast isn't coming to the States, but that doesn't mean we're missing out on the whole SQ5 experience altogether. At the Detroit Auto Show this week, Audi is debuting a new gasoline-powered version of the hot crossover, and while it's not quite the oil-burning dreamboat we've lusted after from afar, we certainly wouldn't kick it out of bed.
Instead of a diesel, we get a boosted version of Audi's supercharged 3.0-liter V6, good for 354 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque. Running through an eight-speed automatic transmission, the SQ5 will reportedly be able to fire off 0-60 times in the low-five-second range and will top out at an electronically limited 155 miles per hour. Suspension upgrades are on hand to improve road-going prowess, but also lower the Q5's stance a bit, too.
Because this is an S model, there are plenty of visual upgrades on hand, including a more aggressive front fascia, 20-inch wheels and some pretty new colors including Estoril Blue and Panther Black. Interior upgrades like Alcantara trim and aluminum brightwork add to some sportiness from the cockpit view, as well.
Audi TT Ultra Quattro Concept throws lightness at the problem
Thu, 25 Apr 2013Audi is celebrating the 2013 Wörthersee Tour with a special concept version of the company's TT. The Audi TT Ultra Quattro concept tips the scales at just 2,449 pounds thanks to some extensive engineering work. The company pulled nearly 95 lbs from the car's body structure and used carbon-fiber reinforced plastics for many of its detachable body components. As a result, the concept weighs in at a full 220 pounds lighter than its production counterpart. Throw in a wicked turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 310 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, and you get a machine with the power to weight ratio in the supercar realm. 0-60 comes up in 4.2 seconds and top speed is listed at 173 mph.
Inside, the TT Ultra Quattro features plenty of carbon fiber trim, and designers also fitted the seats from the R8 GT to save a little weight. The buckets use CFRP for the seat frames, saving nearly 50 pounds in the process. In a world where automakers seem blind to the negative effect of throwing more heft at a vehicle, we're in love with the Ultra Quattro concept. Check out the full press release below for more information.
2014 Audi R8 GT zooming toward Le Mans reveal
Mon, 17 Jun 2013According to a report from Autocar in the UK, the Audi R8 is set to get something of a swan song for its own going-away party in the form of an updated GT model for the 2014 model year. If Autocar is right, this even higher-performance Audi R8 will debut at the upcoming 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France.
The 2014 Audi R8 GT Plus will reportedly get a tuned version of the much-loved 5.2-liter V10 engine that Audi has used to good effect in past R8 models. A six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch automatic would send power to the rear wheels, enabling a 3.4-second 0-62 mile per hour run and a top speed of 199 mph.
Judging from spy shots that we've already seen (reprised above), the new GT Plus will be fitted with an aggressive body kit that includes a massive rear wing, a more prominent front splitter and enlarged side blade ducts. A Spyder version of the GT Plus may be on tap for 2015. Pricing, obviously, is unknown, as is any potential launch date. In other words... stay tuned.
