Audi TT Coupe 2.0 TDI quattro (Mk II) specs

Well then you buy the 2.0TFSI/3.2 if you want revs.

True but most diesels run out of steam past 4-5000rpm.... low down torque is good for city driving but far less important when you want a spirited drive in the country. The ideal engine has a very wide torque curve with high revs and high power.

you only need high rev and bhp on the race track...in daily traffic with lot of low and mid range rpm the diesel torque realy shine..

Sure is, but at least its efficient and fairly fast.

yeah but its still fun to know you have all that torque..lol

Lots of torque isn't much use if you don't also have high revs and bhp.

I like the fact that deisels have a lot of torque.

It is actually shocking how far the technology has gone since first use of diesel engines in passenger cars. 170 hp from 2.0 liter diesel egnine - it's fantastic. 20-30 years ago 2.0 diesel engine couldn't get more than 50 hp. And 170 hp was the power output from a 5+ liter V8.

I guess we gont need a Toyota Prius anymore.

that all comes with a consuption between 36mpg to 44mpg (US)...
