TopGear - Audi TT Roadster 2.0 TFSI.

Audi TT Roadster 2.0 TFSI.

The big news is obviously the fact that the roof has gone, replaced by a new fabric hood. Where everyone is currently obsessing over foldaway tin-tops, the TT has stuck with a fabric hood that unzips neatly - the front section of which forms the uppermost rear deck of the car. It's simple, elegant and trustworthy.

The new 'Z-fold' arrangement means that the origami isn't that complex - imagine flattening or extending a 'Z' shape - and it only requires a couple of flaps to drop over a hinge or two and it's stowed without any oily bits poking out.

Stiggy got it round the track in 1:31.4 seconds, believe it or not 0.4seconds quicker than an M3. This is an amazing time and the quickest fwd car ever to be tested on the track, way to go Audi.

well, top gear also tested BMW 535d, with diesel engine, same laptime as the M3. Not bad for a heavy diesel.
M3 didnt do any good on their track which is wierd since all other lap reports show the M3 is faster than the competition. I demand a re-run for the M3 on TG
