Spy Shots of New Audi TT





Audi TT Spied on the Road

Date posted: 03-10-2006

Audi's next-generation TT coupe is in the final stages of development and we managed to snag a few lightly disguised prototypes in action.

As expected, the new TT borrows heavily from the Shooting Brake Concept shown at the Tokyo Motor Show last fall. The thin headlights up front flank Audi's trademark shield grille design while a more defined beltline stretches from front to back. Overall, the car looks lower and wider than the current model. Although there was no sign of a convertible at this test area, expect to see a roadster version appear not long after the coupe.

Power will come from either a 200-horsepower, 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder or a 250-hp, 3.2-liter V6. Expect to see manual, automatic and DSG transmissions used with either engine, and both front and all-wheel drive.

Audi will officially unveil the TT coupe on April 6th.

What this means to you: Audi's new TT looks like it will deliver on the promise of the Shooting Brake Concept.

Ugly. Has the back end of a Bentley Continental GT. The old one was much nicer.

You know, I was going to say the same thing initially...but...

..the more I look at it, the more I like it.

It must have wickedly bad blind spots, though.

Thankfully with either car you should be driving faster than all other traffic, making blind spots behind the driver irrelevent.

I like the front more (with what I can glean through the camo), but looking at the seams you can see through the camo, the back looks pretty similar to the old TT. Pretty sure the red you're seeing is only a small section of the tail lights, and I'm also pretty sure I'm going to disapprove of this car if I'm right.

Dear Mazda Motors:

Please licence the DSG from VAG and make it available on the RX8 and also in any/all future rotary designs. It's really,...really good. Oh yeah, also, make sure you include the Launch-Control feature that Euro-spec DSG-equipped VWs also get to play with.

Love,
Gulaman

250 hp is a little weak considering all the latest offerings in the automotive landscape
