Audi has revealed its new TT roadster ahead of its debut at the Paris motor show next week. UK deliveries will commence in March and it will cost from £31,955.

Of particularly interest the fleet market will be the Ultra model. It is powered by the firm’s 184hp 2.0-litre diesel unit and returns 65.7mpg, which equates to CO2 emissions of 114g/km. Audi claims this is a benchmark in the sports segment.

Petrol-wise, the TT will be powered by a 230hp 2.0-litre lump. The Quattro version emits 154g/km CO2 while the two-wheel drive variant emits 140g/km.

All models come with what Audi calls its virtual cockpit – a 12.3-inch LCD display that replaces the analogue dials.

Owners can choose between a classic view, which is just the speedometer and rev counter in the foreground, while the ‘infotainment’ mode allows other functions to appear on the screen.
