AUDI TT COUPE — A sleek icon
March 15, 2008
From the day it made its U.S. debut in autumn 1999, the Audi TT took the sports coupe segment by storm, sharpening the brand’s profile in the process. Now the second generation of this successful model is making its debut. The new TT Coupe embodies sheer dynamism in its design, engine output and performance.
The first generation TT has become a milestone in automotive design, an icon. Audi has lovingly retained and stylishly enhanced the TT’s genetic code. On the new TT, the geometric shapes merge fluidly into a uniform whole. A low, narrow greenhouse is supported by slim pillars sitting on broad, powerful shoulders. The base body beneath is compact in looks, conveying a feeling of confidence and strength. The
convex and concave curves of its surfaces lend it the character of an athletic sculpture straining forward.
The new Audi TT is powered by two transversely installed engines — a four-cylinder turbo (TFSI) and a V6. Both units provide it with high levels of power and performance. Their performance enables the TT Coupe to perform impressively on the road.
An optional iPod interface is available. It is located in the glove box to help protect the iPod and keep it out of sight. The adapter also charges the iPod while it is connected and the car is turned on.
