Audi has released a new special edition version of the TT. Limited to 999 examples globally, 150 of which are coming to the UK, the 鈥淭T 20 Years鈥?edition will be on sale in early 2019. UK prices are yet to be confirmed, but we expect them to be around 拢46,000. Audi鈥檚 turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine will be fitted to the special edition models in two states of tune. The 40 TFSI will have 194bhp and 320Nm of torque, while the 45 TFSI will have 242bhp and 370Nm of torque. 0-62mph figures stand at 6.6 seconds for the former with the latter at 5.9 seconds. As standard, both engines will be mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission, with the 45 TFSI allowing the option of a manual. Audi鈥檚 Quattro all-wheel-drive system will also be available for the 45 TFSI, but only with the seven-speed gearbox. The interior of the Audi TT 20 Years edition will pay homage to the 1995 Audi TTS Roadster Concept, with the seats, door panels and centre console trimmed in moccasin brown Nappa leather. There will also be unique badging and a serial number sewn into the steering wheel and gear knob. Available in either coupe or roadster guise, the 鈥淭T 20 Years鈥?edition will be treated to exterior tweaks including 19-inch alloy wheels, an updated front bumper, new exhaust tips and Matrix OLED headlights. Audi鈥檚 S-Line package is offered as an optional extra, and outfits the special edition model with a more aggressive body kit, sports seats and a 10mm drop in ride-height.
Five years after it made its debut in concept form, the Lamborghini Urus is finally here, premiering today at Lamborghini's Sant'Agata Bolognese headquarters. This is a big deal for Lamborghini鈥攊t's set to double the company's production. More importantly to us, though, is that it's the fastest SUV in the world. Yep, the Urus will hit 190 mph flat-out and run to 62 mph in 3.6 seconds. That makes it faster than its 187-mph platform-mate, the Bentley Bentayga, and pretty much as quick as the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, which hits 60 mph in a manufacture-quoted 3.5 seconds. All that forward motion comes courtesy of a 650-hp 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8鈥擫amborghini's first V8 in nearly 30 years, and its first turbocharged engine ever. This engine offers 627 lb-ft of torque, and its two turbochargers are mounted within the "V" for better throttle response. Lamborghini chose a turbo V8 for the Urus to provide more low-end torque for off-roading.
The Urus gets a trick all-wheel drive system too. In normal driving, its front-to-rear torque split is 40/60, but up to 70 percent can be sent to the front and 87 percent can go to the rear in certain scenarios. There are center- and rear-differentials that provide real torque vectoring. There's also a lot of neat chassis hardware here. The Urus uses a 48-volt active anti-roll system in concert with adaptive air suspension and rear-axle steering. That should help mask its 4850-lb weight. Carbon-ceramic brakes come standard, and they're the largest fit to any production car鈥攃onsidering the Urus' weight and power, they'll be needed. Oh, and it's a practical SUV too. It seats five, and Top Gear reports that it offers good luggage and rear-passenger space despite its sloping roofline. The Urus rides on the same platform that underpins the Bentayga, the Porsche Cayenne, and the Audi Q7, but as you can see, it looks nothing like them. Inside there are classic Lamborghini hexagonal styling cues, and the new dual-screen infotainment system from the Audi A8. 200,000. By 2019, Lamborghini hopes to build 3500 per year.
Working in the restaurant industry is tough regardless of your position. All staff needs to be a team in order for restaurant operations to go smoothly. As a manager, you understand that your employees all have different strengths and respond differently to certain things. Maybe you鈥檙e worried that you might be doing something to cause discontent among your employees. That鈥檚 okay, everyone makes mistakes. So here are 3 things you can avoid doing in the future to make sure your top employees are happy. Nothing causes frustration quicker than being disrespected. Respect is something you can give those hard-working employees that will go a long way in making them feel comfortable in their job. One of the biggest signs of disrespect is lecturing an employee in front of other employees or, even worse, in front of customers. It鈥檚 in poor taste to tell employees what they鈥檝e done wrong in front of an audience.
