Audi TT under the knife | Automatic news

This year, 20 years after Audi put the first-generation TT on the market, the brand grabs it. opportunity to present the current third generation to place the model on the cutting table. Audi immediately pushes a limited edition that blinks with the study models that preceded the first generation in the 90s.

It becomes a pretty cliche, but as we are used to from Audi, the appearance of the TT is not radically adapted to the facelift that the brand is putting in place on the model. The TT gets a new grille, where the horizontal battens give way to gauze work on all versions. In addition, the air openings in the bumper are increased. Audi goes on to talk about an adjustment of the filling opening of the fuel tank. There is no cap under the flap. Heavy. The TTS gets, as we saw this morning, additional cooling apertures and silver gray details.

Audi also makes technical changes. The car should not only be subject to the new denomination of Audi, but the TT also gets new engines. The TT is available in 40 TFSI, a new basic engine of 197 hp. The current 1.8 TFSI 180 hp will therefore be canceled. Also new, the 45 TFSI, a 245 hp version that replaces the 2.0 TFSI 230 hp. This 45 TFSI is available with the Quattro player. It is striking that the power of the standard version with the TTS version delivered by Quattro-drive is reduced from 310 hp to 306 hp. In 4.5 seconds, the TTS Coupe sprints at a speed of 100 km / h, the TTS Roadster needs 4.8 seconds for the same sprint. It's faster than previous versions of TTS. Switching takes place in the TTS with an S-tronic transmission

Audi also specifies to adapt the standard TT equipment. The basic versions now have the Drive Select system, a light and rain sensor, heated mirrors and a multifunction steering wheel.

And the action!

Audi moves in 1998 the production version of the first generation TT to come, a model that naturally precedes the necessary concept cars. In 1995, Audi introduced the TT Coupé Concept and the TTS Roadster Concept. In order to catch up with these study models, Audi launches a special edition of the current remodeled TT: the TT 20 Years

The TT 20 Years is a special edition of which 999 copies are under construction. Of course, the car refers to the TTS Roadster Concept already mentioned with some details. The car has faux leather Moccasin brown with contrasting seams. Other adjustments: the design of exhaust pipes and TT 20 Years special badges. The special edition has Matrix OLED taillights, Audi logos matte on the sides and is available in Arrow Gray and Nano Gray colors. How many copies will arrive in the Netherlands will be known later
