The TT was a revolutionary car design when it was rst
unveiled in 1995. It’s strictly geometrical, formally coher-
ent design language made it an icon with huge charisma.
For the third TT generation, the Audi designers have
returned to many of these ideas and placed them in a new
context that is as dynamic as it is diverse.
The central motif was the circle – embodied in the curves of
the roof line, and the front and the rear overhangs with
their resolutely horizontal lines. From the side, many
details of the new Audi TT are reminiscent of the rst-
generation classic in many respects.
The third generation of the compact sports car again
commands attention with its emotional design and
dynamic attributes. Standout features of the new coupe
are its innovative driveline technology as well as its new
operating and display concept.

Introduction

Find out more about the model
history of the Audi TT.
Model history for the World-wide market
In 1995 Audi presented a pioneering study: the Audi TT. The Coupé (IAA Frank-
furt, 1995) and Roadster (Tokyo Motor Show, 1995) showcars were followed by
the production versions of the Audi TT Coupé in 1998 and Audi TT Roadster in
1999. When the rst-generation Audi TT came on the market in 1998 it was a
design revolution. Radical in design, but suitable for everyday use – that was the
motto for the rst Audi TT.
The third generation of this classic has adopted many of the design elements
that characterized the rst-generation TT – coupled with innovative technology.
Between the rst and third generation of the TT lie nearly 20 years of develop-
ment in technology and design. Here, in brief, are the key milestones in the
model history of the Audi TT.
