The TT is a culmination of visionary design ideas. Short overhangs at the front and rear and a broad track. Impressive looks, an impressive stance. The TT is a sports car with a captivating design. A design that makes the concept of sportiness tangible. And it all starts with its lines. The TT’s character was clear right from the fi rst design study. The roofl ine spans the fl at passenger compartment and fl ows gracefully into the TT’s powerful shoulder line. To this we added a wide track, fl ared wheel arches, and signature single-frame grille. The result is a form so distinctive it is impossible to forget.



The TT is not about getting the details right.Rata Penuh
It’s about getting them perfect. It’s a philosophy that we applied to every element of the TT’s design, including available bi-xenon adaptive headlights that combine intensity and dynamic ability to help you see around the next corner*. These headlights use gas-discharge lamps
that are electronically controlled. The result is a bright arc that serves as an excellent
light source to illuminate the road.



Top up or top down, the Audi TT Roadster is a pure thrill to drive.
The short overhangs at the front and rear, the twin tailpipes and a wide track make it immediately obvious that the TT Roadster is the epitome of driving excitement. The highlight is Audi Magnetic Ride, the optional suspension damping technology that allows drivers to choose between an uncompromising sport ride and the more comfort-oriented characteristics. And with a fully automated top that retracts completely, it’s clear the experience of the TT Roadster is pure pleasure.



A pure predator when it hits the road.
The TTS builds on the innovations of the TT with enhanced power. The top of the TT family has TFSI direct injection technology delivering thrills at 265 hp. Combined with sport biased quattro all-wheel drive, this delivers greater agility and exceptional control. Two fi nely tuned twin tailpipes deliver the distinctive sounds of the undeniably athletic TTS attitude. 18 or 19-inch alloy wheels will not only turn heads, but do an exceptional job of matching the performance-bred nature of the TTS.



Refined, no matter how you look at it.

For the driver this means: increased traction, improved driving stability, and high levels of active safety and improved traction on virtually all surfaces. The result: pure driving pleasure every day. For 2009, quattro all-wheel drive is available on the 2.0 TFSI model.



Propelled by technology that makes it the pure essence of power.

Only Audi engineers could develop the incredible combination of innovative technologies that defi ne the new Audi TT.
