AUDI has launched its flagship TT Roadster fitted with a 247bhp 3.2-litre V6 engine and revolutionary twin-clutch Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG).

Offering combined fuel consumption of 28.2mpg, the car will sprint from 0-62mph in 6.6 seconds, and the benefit of a launch control facility ensures that the figure can be achieved. DSG offers gearchanges faster than a standard manual with none of the 'jerkiness' associated with conventional sequential manual transmissions.

The Roadster follows the launch of the TT 3.2 quattro Coupe and is priced at £31,405 on-the-road.
