The fascination of no-compromise design
"TT" - tribute to a motor-sport legend
A question of identity: from design study to production model
The art of bridge-building
The Audi TT's brilliant aerodynamics

Purity of design, exclusive technical features, exceptional performance potential. This is the concept that identifies Audi with the very origins of the pure-bred sports car, which it has interpreted in such an advanced form in the TT.

High-torque turbocharged engines with five valves per cylinder, developing up to 165 kW (225 bhp); permanent four-wheel drive or front-wheel drive; sports suspension with large cast aluminium wheels and wide tires; a comprehensive safety package including airbags for the driver and front passenger as well as head-and-thorax side airbags: these are all features of a car that's unique in the sports-car segment of the market.

The TT is equally unique in its appearance: the compact 2 + 2-seater coupé with large rear load-area flap is a strong visual challenge. The interior, the low seated position close to the road and the ideally placed controls are an intensive way of experiencing the unity between car and driver that a true sports car should offer.

The Audi TT is the sports car for people born with the proverbial shot of "petrol in their blood": people who love to drive, who appreciate skilled automobile engineering and performance, who wish to live out and demonstrate their personal style with an advanced, unmistakable sports car. For them the new TT Coupé, in particular the quattro version, is a unique piece of automobile culture and one that at last satisfies their own high standards.

There are rational reasons lying behind the enthusiasm that this unusual sports car arouses: all versions of the TT are good value for money, with only moderate running costs. Extra attention has been paid to reducing the cost of repairs, so that the Audi TT is at the top of its class in the insurers' typical damage repair cost statistics. This means low third-party and comprehensive insurance premiums.
