Audi TT

the first real quattro Three years after a presentation of TT concept on the IAA in Frankfurt became this project reality. The car is already in shops available. Only a few changes were necessary to change the concept to serie car. The final version became a third side- window for better view from the car and to comp- lete the thought of design. Also the air intakes have became bigger, what should reduce the aggre- sive look. This 2+2 coupe looks like a racing car of the 1930's. The coupe has a big nose and high-positioned door lines. When sittin' in the car, the door lines are beside your sholders. You might think the car is quite high, but it isn't. It is 1.35 metre only. Also the interior looks original and fascinating. A lot of aluminium on board. Dials in "techno design". Some design thoughts of TT concept are successfuly used in Audi A6. Not only the design is attractive. Also stuff under the hood is proving it is a pure sport coupe. The turbo- chargered powerhouse of TT is available in two ver- sions. Top version provides a performance of 225 hp and is supported by quattro driving mechanism. The car sprints with this engine from nought to 100 kmh (62mph) in 6.4 sec. The weaker TT has 180 hp and sprints in 7.4 sec. For example, when I compared the stronger version with the Boxster from Porsche, I found out that the TT is stronger, faster, and even cheaper. The basic TT is 53,000 DM, the stronger is about 10,000 more (Boxster is 79,000). If you want Xenon headlights, you need to pay 1,300 DM more. That was only one of many possibilities of extra outlet. The difference between the two TT versions is visible also outside. "Baby" TT rolls on 16" wheels and has only one exhaust pipe. "The big brother" has 17" wheels and two exhausts. For luxuriouss outlet, seats with Alcantra leather are available. What means the TT? It means Tourist Trophy, a name of motorcycle race on the Isle of Man, UK. Also the level of safety is high. Set of airbags is pro- tecting your life. Co-pilot airbag has a special feature: You may disable or enable his function. Audi TT is gonna bacome sure another car that ensures a huge success of Audi. It's gonna be a tough rival of cars like Z3 from BMW or Boxster from Porsche. And this aim is really possible with such a price starting at 52,800 DM. Audi TT will be available only in two colors. Blue and silver. We hope that Audi will come out with another colors for activating the freshness. Audi TT is the first Audi built outside Germany. TT is made in Hungary. In spite of this, we hope it will have a quality adequate to what is used by Audi. Roadster with 2 seats will appear in spring '99. Small hint: Don't use back-seats when you are more than 5 feet (cca. 150 cm) tall. Don't worry, Madonna is within the limit. Am I right? :-)))

quattro with combination of 225 hp provide a stabil and masterful drive even
drivin' on the racing track in high speed
