With the Audi A3 Cabriolet, we’ve taken all the qualities you’d associate

with Audi – stunning design, sporty looks and progressive styling –

and brought them one step further. From the sweeping, expressive

lines of the body to the smooth silhouette of the canvas hood, it’s got

all the dynamic character and appeal of a coupé. And even more

impressively, we’ve combined this with the everyday practicality of

increased luggage capacity and space for four people.

Stylish and practical, the A3 Cabriolet’s dynamic shape and alloy

wheels make an immediate impact. And with a Z-fold hood that

opens in just 9 seconds, it doesn’t take much longer for this car

to impress you with its ever-changing profile. n fact, you can lower

its Sport hood with just the touch of a button, at speeds of up to

19mph. The model is available now with a choice of five engines,

including the turbocharged 2.0 TFS and the new efficient 1.6 TD

with common-rail injection technology. What’s more, along with

considerable power you can enjoy impressive control, thanks to a

choice of manual transmissions or the revolutionary Audi S tronic

transmissions. And no matter which options you select, from styling

to multimedia, you can look forward to a comprehensive range of

equipment to make your driving experience complete.

The Audi A3 Cab iolet

Petro Diese

We introduced TD to the roads in 1989, marking a departure from the noisy, fuel-thirsty

diesel engines of the past. And since then, we've continuously refined it, recently

developing common-rail technology for even more efficiency and power. Under this

system, a series of piezo injectors use electrical charge to precisely control the amount

of fuel injected into the engine. As well as reducing noise, this allows combustion to

happen at a lower temperature, with less oxygen, which cuts down emissions. So not

only does common-rail technology help to protect the environment, it also enables us

to future-proof our cars.

The A3 Cabriolet includes an impressive turbocharged direct-injection TFS engine.

TFS is a unique Audi innovation, combining turbo-charging with the FS technology

originally developed for the Le Mans 24-hour endurance race to deliver increased power

and torque, as well as enhanced fuel efficiency. Precisely the right amount of fuel and

air are injected directly into the combustion chambers, ‘unthrottling’ the engine and

enabling it to ‘breathe’ more easily. At the same time, electronics monitor the engine

load and adjust the injection process. The result – reduced heat-loss and increased

output, with around a 15% reduction in fuel consumption and significantly lower exhaust

emissions. deal for someone who’s looking for an uncompromising, exhilarating drive.

Audi offers a variety of different transmission options to

suit your requirements and driving style. n addition to the

classic manual gearbox are two innovative, semi-automatic

transmission options. To help you come to an informed

decision, each of these is described in detail opposite.

The revolutionary S tronic gearbox combines the agility

and responsiveness of a conventional 6-speed manual

gearbox with the convenience and smooth, uninterrupted

power of an automatic transmission. The technical basis

of the S tronic gearbox is the double clutch. This consists

of two lubricated plates with hydraulically-regulated

contact pressure. One engages the odd-numbered gears,

the other the even-numbered, enabling gear-shifts to be

made in a fraction of a second, with no disruption to the

power flow. Depending on how the mood takes you, you

can either allow gear-changes to take place automatically

or, for a sportier driving style, operate the S tronic system

using the gear lever or steering wheel shift-paddles.

The choice is yours.

The 1.8 TFS model is available with the 7-gear version

of our highly-acclaimed S tronic gearbox. The extra gear,

along with a dry-clutch set-up, results in improved fuel

economy and lower CO2emissions. As with the 6-speed

S tronic gearbox, this gear system can be operated in fully

automatic mode, or using the gear lever or steering wheel

gear-change controls for an even more engaging drive.
