Audi redefined automotive design when it introduced the TT concept car at international auto shows in the mid-1990s. Named after the renowned Tourist Trophy race on the Isle of Man, the TT shares its platform with the Volkswagen Golf and Skoda Octavia. With its sleek, anodized aluminum body and seamless exterior, the TT stood out dramatically when the first model hit the market in 1998. Even today, it continues to win accolades from enthusiasts. If you love the current model, prepare to be amazed by the next generation arriving in just a year.
The TT lineup includes both a coupe and a roadster. After the coupe's debut in 1998, the roadster followed the next summer. Initially, both were equipped with a 20-valve, 1.8L four-cylinder engine. Over time, the models received engine upgrades, and in 2003, a 3.2L V6 option became available. While the TT operates with front-wheel drive, Quattro all-wheel drive is also an option.
Building on the TT’s success, Audi is meticulously crafting its second generation. Nearly a decade after the original's debut, the revamped TT will begin production in 2007, featuring:
- Increased Size: Slight extensions in width and length will offer more cabin space and enhanced comfort.
- Balanced Materials: A combination of aluminum in the front and steel in the rear will improve weight distribution.
- Enhanced Performance: The 1.8L engine will be replaced with a 2.0L variant. The 3.2L V6, offering 250 horsepower, remains available, with a six-speed manual transmission as standard.
- Expanded Lineup: Alongside the coupe and roadster, a potential third model, possibly a wagon, is under consideration.
Primary competitors for the Audi TT include the BMW Z4 and Mercedes SLK. The TT’s distinctive design has influenced other models such as the Saturn Sky, Mazda Miata, Nissan 350Z, and Pontiac Solstice. Overall, the Audi TT has revitalized the roadster market, and the new generation promises to enhance this legacy further. This is exciting news for car enthusiasts seeking a unique, well-engineered 2+2 option for their collection.
