braking or coasting downhill, different tyres and aerodynamic tweaks.

The car is currently under development, but reports suggest it will be powered by a 3.2-litre engine with 340bhp, making it comfortably the most powerful TT derivative on sale.
It will also make it more powerful than the BMW Z4 M coupe, which it is set to rival.
As with the 268bhp TTS, which is due to go on sale later this year for around $70,000, buyers will have the choice of either a standard six-speed manual or a seven-speed version of Audi's S-Tronic double-clutch gearbox. Four-wheel drive will be fitted as standard.

Audi is working on a range of measures to improve the carbon dioxide emissions of its vehicles.
Company officials have revealed that the firm is working on its own version of stop-start, weight-saving programmes and innovative ideas such as closing flaps on the grille when the radiator doesn't need air, all aimed at improving aerodynamics and cutting emissions.
The programme is similar to BMW's Efficient Dynamics initiative, which resulted in stop-start technology being fitted to most of the company's new cars last year. As a result, the average carbon dioxide emissions across its range dropped significantly.
However, Audi officials admit these programmes are still two years away from being put into production.
In addition, a hybrid version of Audi’s new A1 is also under development, but is not expected to be put into production until 2010 at the earliest.
Audi has also revealed that the front of its A3 cabriolet will differ from the hatch model when it goes on sale this spring.

The A3 hatch will also undergo a comprehensive facelift later this year, when it will adopt the same front end as the cabrio. The company hopes this will improve the A3's pedestrian protection score in Euro NCAP crash tests from one star to three.
