2008 Audi TT Overview

Introduction

The all-new 2008 Audi TT is the entry-level sports car in the Audi/VW AG selection of performance cars. The TT has been heavily redesigned and refined compared to the style-over-function first generation TT.

The TT blends the original bauhaus styling with Audis current modern design theme and advanced technology. The coupes spaceframe is 69% aluminum and 31% steel (roadster = 58/42%), with most of the steel in the rear to offset the weight of the engine and better balance the car. The front-wheel drive version is powered by a 200-hp turbocharged direct-injection 2.0-liter four-cylinder with a six-speed automatic S-tronic as the only transmission choice. The all-wheel drive version is powered by a 250-hp 3.2-liter V6 with the choice of a six-speed manual or a six-speed S-tronic transmission.

Safety features include front, side and knee airbags, run-flat tires with pressure monitoring and 4-wheel antilock brakes and stability control.
