audi tt

The Audi TT is an automobile produced by Audi in Győr, Hungary. The TT was first shown as a concept car at the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show. The production model was launched as a coup in September 1998, followed by a roadster in August 1999. It is based on the Volkswagen A platform. The TT uses a transversely mounted engine with front or Quattro all wheel drive. It was first available with a 1.8 L turbocharged inline four cylinder engine. Front wheel drive models feature a 180 hp (134 kW) version of this engine. Quattro models are equipped with a 225 hp (168 kW) engine which shares the same basic design but features a larger turbocharger and an additional intercooler. In late 1999/early 2000, TTs were recalled to have rear-wing spoilers fitted and suspension settings altered due to handling concerns under high-speed cornering. The original four cylinder engine range was complimented with a 250 hp (186 kW) 3.2 L VR6 in early 2003. This engine comes matched with Quattro. In October, 2004 a new DSG (dual-clutch) gearbox was offered along with a stiffer suspension. As of March 2004, some expect Audi to reveal the second-generation TT in 2005, particularly at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show in Frankfurt am Main. In August 2004, Audi announced that the next-generation TT will be made of aluminum and would go into production in 2007.

Awards

The TT was nominated for the North American Car of the Year award for 2000. It was also on Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list for 2000 and 2001.
