The UK’s love affair with the Audi TT is set to be rekindled


. in 2015 when the first of the new-generation models find their way to customers in Jan­ uary.


. This iconiclittle sports car,


which is credited with chang­ ing' Audi’s fortunes when it was first unveiled in 1998, has sold more than 100,000 in the UK alone - more than any­ where else in the world. Although this, the third


generation, is a completely newvehicletothosethathave gone.before, there are, never­ theless plenty of nods to the first generation and even the original concept car which made its debutin 1995. ; This time around, though.


it looks more muscular with vertical style cues at the front and a far more prominent


. grille that is deliberately remi­ niscent of the R8.: Although shorter and nar­


rower than its predecessor it nevertheless has a longer wheelbase owing to its short­ er overhangs. Internal "space is therefore


greater and, once the rear seats are folded flat, you have an impressive 305 litres of us­ able space (up from 219 litres) Scotland was chosen as


the" location for the UK press launch this week. Unlike Eng­ land,whichwasbaskinginun- seasonably warm weather, the whole of the country suffered from a deluge of storm-force rain and winds; roads were closed, trees fell down and massive puddles made driv- ine dangerous. '


Our choice of the quattro


all-wheel-drive model as our preferred vehicle was there­ fore a wise one., Despite the truly awful'


conditions it remained firm-, ly planted on the road and didn’t miss a beat - no matter howhard the rain came down. I always reckon I can tell


within a few minutes if I’m go­ ing to get on with a particular car- in theTT’s case it was just seconds.


As soon as I got behind the


wheel I felt at home. The seats, driving position and location of the instruments all posi­ tioned for maximum comfort and enjoyment. Innovative technology is'a


given whenever Audi show­ case a new model. Segmented headlights that


react to oncoming traffic are narticularlv imnressive.


However, one of my favour-


itebitsofkitthistimearound is the driver-focusedvirtualcock- pitthatcompletelyfillsthedriv-


' er’s instrument binnacle. - There are different views:


classic gives speedo and rev counter prominence but switch to infotainment mode and they recede into the back­ ground-navigation mode is particularly impressive. There are two engines at


launch, front wheel drive and quattro models, two trims, Sport and S-line and both’ manual and the excellent S


SURPRISE


tronic which really does takes some beating.


Prices range from £29,770


to £35.335. Our test car had a further £10.000 of goodies


included; fancy seats £1,390, comfort and sound package £1,590 and technology pack­ age £1,795 just a few of many worth mentioning.

Mercedesannounce all-electric B-Class


Mercedes is to bring an all­ electric version of the new B-Class to the UK next year, with a drivetrain developed by Tesla.


The B-Class Electric


Drive will be priced to fall in line with high-end die­ sel models after applying the Government’s £5,000 plug-in car grant, making it atemptingaltemativeforur- ban families. Mercedes is making ini­

tial claimsofarangeinthere- gk>nofi2omilesbetweenfull charges, citing that the vast majority of UK drivers cover less than 30 miles per day. “Previously the technol­


ogy has only been in develop­ ment cars, so this is the first volume production Mer- cedes-Benzelectriccar,”said


AngusFitton.PRmanagerat Mercedes UK.


“Withmanymanufactur-


ers nowjoinlng the electric and plug-in hybrid market, Fitton explains Mercedes is trying to encourage take-up by keeping compromise to a minimum. “We’re looking at this


being roughly the same as a B 200 CDI with the auto­ matic gearbox, so i f you live in an urban area there’s the choice,” he continued. “There’s no sacrifice on boot space or versatility, andpeo- ple are less willing to make sacrificesjust because it’s an electric car. An in-house Mercedes


app has already been devel­ oped that allows owners to remotely keep tabs on the Electric Drive’s charge sta­ tus, predicted range and more.


Home charging solutions s


will not be included with the * B-Class Electric Drive, leav­ ing customers to source a wall-mounted chargerfrom


an energy supplier of their choice.
