Audi A3 Cab gets smallest-ever engine
* Outperforms its predecessor
* Cleaner and leaner, too
Audi's new 1.2-litre A3 cabriolet slashes CO2 emissions, boosts economy, but outperforms the larger-engined car it replaces.
Smallest-ever engine
The 104bhp A3 1.2 TFSI Cabriolet uses the smallest petrol engine ever to power an Audi, but matches the output of the 1.6 MPI version it replaces.
Better performance but cleaner and leaner
Powered through a six-speed manual gearbox, the 1.2 TFSI travels from 0-62mph in 12.2 seconds and goes on to a top speed of 118mph improvements of 0.3 seconds and 4mph over the 1.6 MPI it's replacing.
Despite these improvements in performance, the 1.2 TFSI produces 132g/km 35g/km less than the previous car, while also boosting average economy by 9.2mpg to 49.6mpg.
