The new 2016 Audi TT virtual cockpit boasts high-definition, crystal-clear digital graphics, Google Earth imagery and navigation, haptic feedback, Google-like search, voice command operation and “just write” touch features.

The display is pretty slick, with 60fps PC gaming speeds and Nvidia’s quad-core Tegra 3 processing technology that is reminiscent of the Tesla Model S touchscreen control panel – boasting the same Nvidia Tegra chips. However, Audi’s virtual cockpit sits right in front of the driver instead of on the side and is on a super wide, 12.3 inch, 1440×540 pixel screen.





The interface is visible even in direct sunlight. Sharp 3D imagery with turn-by-turn navigation also comes in handy at night on dark, winding or unfamiliar roads.

The cockpit’s “classic” view includes the tachometer and speedometer on each side, with a section for mapping and infotainment in the center. Fuel, temperature and other important vehicle information run along the top and bottom of the display.

We recently spent an afternoon with the 2016 Audi TT system to check out the future of the car company’s virtual cockpit technology.

It's normal in most cars IF the ignition is switched on, but the engine is NOT running.

That engine is running, look at the rpm

Dude, that mark up from the start of the scale is the needle's rest point. The pre-2016 TT and TTRS were the same. Flick the ignition on, it drops down briefly in self-test mode, then returns to that second mark. The speedo and temp / fuel gauges do the same.

Watch the video too, it will also confirm the engine is not running.

. . . enough said

the picture posted by the op show's the engine is running. At position 'Park' without a running engine gives-out an indication "Off" underneath the park display while a running engine display "Ready"

that been said, the above engine is running and its got a check-engine light up. Period

Of is ignition turned off.

Ready is when the conditions that allow the engine to start have been met.

So transmission in P (Tiptronic) brake pedal depressed.
Manual transmission is in neutral, clutch pedal is depressed.

I'm not sure how well you know Audi, but I can state with absolute certainty, I know Audi pretty much the way most people know their parents. With you, it kind of feels like you're determined to discredit the Audi Brand.

For reference, here is the 2016 Audi TTS with a running engine. Note there are several screen modes that can be selected at ANY given time. With the engine running, hot idle is 800rpm:



A different mode is selected here. Ready is displayed, but hot idle IS still 800rpm:



Very different to the thread starter's image. If that engine WAS running, it must be idling at 10rpm, which any engineer will tell you is NOT currently possible. It is virtually impossible to sustain rotation in a gasoline or diesel engine at USEFUL revolutions BELOW 400rpm.
