New Audi TT, Different Pictures

These shots give the best view yet of both the coupe and roadster version of the next-generation Audi TT, showing how the company has grown and adapted its design to stay at the top of the styling charts.

The models revealed here will be joined by a three-door hatch variant, but it's the classic two-door bodystyle that will make up most of the sales. Although the hatchback Shooting Brake concept - unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show back in October - was first to showcase the TT's new look, these pictures uncover the production version for the very first time. It has been caught while undergoing testing by our spies and, as you can see, the current model's instantly recognisable lines have been moulded into something much more modern and even more appealing.

Ready to go on sale next autumn year, the TT Coupe will have a new rival in the shape of BMW's Z4 coupe, but the next Audi will boast a more spacious cabin. And while the outgoing model's back seats are uncomfortable for adults, rear passen?gers in the newcomer will benefit from extra space, and there will be more luggage room in the trunk.

The extra inches have given the company's designers greater flexibility to pen a more attractive hood for the Roadster, which will join the line-up in 2007.

Benefiting from Audi's latest engine technology, the new TT will be offered with the 2.0-liter powerplant from parent company Volkswagen's Golf in both naturally aspirated and turbocharged forms. A 250bhp 3.2-liter six-cylinder unit will head up the range at launch, and all motors will benefit from VW's latest Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI) technology to boost efficiency.

Audi's latest turbocharged and supercharged engines will be available too, while plans to develop a diesel TT are thought to be underway. And all but the entry-level variants will come with quattro all-wheel drive, but buyers can expect a more involving driving experience across the range.

Enthusiasts also have the prospect of a genuine supercar-baiting TT flagship to look forward to. Likely to be badged the RS, this range-topper will be powered by a 2.0-liter bi-turbo unit, and will take on BMW's hot Z4 M. Expect to see the new coupe in the metal for the first time at the Paris Motor Show in September, with the first lucky buyers taking delivery before the end of 2006.

So, It definately has angles it looks good at (ala photos that had been posted previously) and angles it looks horrible at (ala photos above) Not looking too good IMO.

that's chopped...right?
i mean, the tail lights have no sharp lines...i really hope this is not the final version of the TT, if it is...it won't look half as stylish and innovative as the first couple of generations did.

I don't think these pictures are chopped, I think the ones that we saw before might have been.

I think it looks better than the current model, not as overly rounded.

**mgescuro** · 02-01-2006, 12:22 AM

the car does nothign for me.

yassir(snowman) · 02-01-2006, 01:13 AM

the side view kinda looks like a 90s import to me. too low and long

banzai79 · 02-01-2006, 01:44 AM

Audi makes all those engines, from W12's to Lambo mills to turbo 6's, and the top engine is the bi-turbo 2.0L? Bah. I doubt any supercar will take that bait.

SVTKAR3 · 02-12-2006, 06:08 PM

Looks Tight. Like the Bentley taillights/rear end.

**TaHoE** · 02-12-2006, 07:29 PM

Meh...

rmodys · 02-12-2006, 09:08 PM

86fleet · 02-12-2006, 11:26 PM

never underestimate the old version 1.8T came with 225hp but can be tuned to 600hp no problem the new 2L is a great motor im sure it wont dissapoint also the new 3.6L VR6 is out word around the VW/Audi world is that they might twin turbo that for an RS model who knows what the hp#'s would be on that NA it makes 280hp

Typically Audi, there isn't that much difference between it and the previous model.

With the three-door, they will might fall into the same trap Mercedes did.

Wow, looks awesome. Not crazy about the rear, would look better with a decklid spoiler, just somethin small.

That "fart burner" ads 5-10HP to your car ;some of those small Hondas can whip a Vett off the line. (from anti-rice.com) So 115hp+10hp=430hp, at least in ricerland
