New Audi TT shooting brake
 
http://www.pistonheads.com/news/defa...?storyId=12103

Looks pretty sweet to me. It's supposed to acompany the TT coupe and convertible. haven't seen pics of those yet. Shame about the quattro though.

i've always liked the tt. not sure if i'm feelin the new grill, though.
it must be pretty heavy. i would expect better performance numbers, espescially if bmw decides to deliver a m-variant of the z4.

Even Audi wants an RX-8!

Hehe, Someone was going to say it so it might as well be me. I dunno looks kinda funky to me. Except the headlights. The headlights are cool. :) The interior looks interesting though the pedals seems awfully close together.

Turned it into a hatchback? :rolleyes:

if you bothered to read the one sentence I wrote you would see that it is to accompany the coupe and convertible version. So no, they didn't turn it into a hatchback, they added a hatchback.

That's not what I meant... I know they're not only making the hatchback... I'm rolling my eyes at the fact that they even bothered with a hatchback. Thanks for your concern though.

what's wrong with a hatchback?

They remind me of station wagons. Station wagons remind me of the Wagon Queen Family Truckster, and I hate WallyWorld.

So apparently our car is so sexy that Audi decided to try to look just like us. It's even got a similar 0-60 time. Now, now if they revise the HP from 250 to 238, I'll KNOW they're copying...

ECHO1 10-12-2005 01:24 PM

:confused: i fail to see how this tt looks like a rx8. it might pull more 3 wagon, but i don't see any similarities between this hatch and our car. as far as hatch backs being "wagons", have you seen the new jag xk or new aston? they're both hatches and they are about as far away from wagons as you can get.

map 10-12-2005 01:32 PM

wow. They ruined the TT. Now it just looks like an ordinary car, a nice looking one, but still ordinary. The original had a very unique character to it which made it so successfull.

Rotary Rasp 10-12-2005 01:35 PM

Nice! until you look at the front grill.

The front looks similar. Besides that though, there's really nothing similar.

Magic8 10-12-2005 04:20 PM

blah....

Aoshi Shinomori 10-12-2005 04:37 PM

Why does every thread in the GA forum degenerate to "this car looks/copies the RX8?"

Anywho, I really dig it. I think Audi did a good job with this one, except the bastards eliminated the x100 rpm and went American. That was something I really liked about VW/Audi. I guess I'll get over it :p

Red Devil 10-12-2005 04:56 PM

Not a big fan of the hatchback variant...

Chrisbert 10-13-2005 05:56 AM

The side looks like a dressed up Ford Focus.

Japan8 10-15-2005 10:33 PM

Lovin' it! I wonder what the price will be. Maybe it'll have to grace my driveway...

guy321 10-15-2005 10:38 PM

But the front of the RX-8 looks like the front of the S2000.. so Honda must want an rx-8 too!! :) Oh wait.. :P (not directed at spork, just using his quote)

That front grille is a bit too "Escalade rollin' on 26" spinners" for me, but I'm liking the rest of the car. I never liked the old TT too much, but I am liking this redesign.

Oh, and what's the deal with Audi TT: The Game over there in the center console? :p

TheColonel 10-16-2005 02:51 PM

That's actually your tageting computer, in case you fine yourself attacking the deathstar... just in case...

The funny thing is...

That's what I thought the first time I saw the RX-8 from the front up close.

"hey, that kinda looks like the s2k!"

To be honest though, the new TT concept looks like the bastard child of an RX-8 and the new Audi A4. :)

dayvei214@mac.com 10-16-2005 11:18 PM

its wierd that no one consider it to to be a beef up a3 2 door hatch. kinda of a new upgraded version of the 2.0t golf v coming this december i think. stronger lines but to me i don't think a tt is a tt with out that classic shape of what the tt was known for. i mean i can understand a change in design but this one seem like it kind of went off track.
