A Brief Introduction To The Tt; Design Needs No Explanation - Audi TT Coupé 207 Service

A brief introduction to the TT

Design needs no explanation

The name alone suggests that this is an Audi
with a difference. The Audi TT was named
after the legendary Tourist Trophy race on the
Isle of Man - the only one of its kind in the
world.
The Audi TT is equally as unique as its legen-
dary namesake.
Engines
As befits a sports car, the Audi TT is
powered by a four-cylinder 5-valve
turbocharged engine developing
180 bhp with a sports gearbox in
the front-wheel drive and quattro
versions. A four-cylinder 5-valve
turbocharged engine
developing 225 bhp is
available for the
quattro version.
Running gear
The running gear also underscores Audi's
total commitment to the sports car concept.
The front axle kinematics were revised with
regard to steering quality and response.
This, in combination with the Audi TT's sporty,
stiff suspension tuning, ensures excellent
handling and a high standard of driving safety.

The interior styling matches the exterior per-
fectly - a fact reflected in the features of the
dash panel, the styling of the instruments, the
air nozzles and controls.
The styling of some parts has also been influ-
enced by the use of aluminium.
The basic version is equipped with 16-inch
wheels shod with size 205/55 R 16 tyres.
A 17-inch suspension is standard with the
quattro and available as optional equipment
for all other engine variants.
