| 2014 Audi TT |
The smallest car in Audi’s lineup, the Audi TT (Tourist Trophy), started its life back in 1998 after being previewed by a first concept car in 1995. The second generation TT was then unveiled 8 years later - in 2006 - and was still offered in both coupe and roadster versions. Now, we hear that the third generation Audi TT will be unveiled in 2014, following the eight year pattern set by the first and second generations. This generation will debut as a coupe version with a roadster set to follow a few months later.
The current Audi TT is being built on the Volkswagen’s PQ35 platform – which offers a front engine chassis and front or all wheel drive powertrain, but for the next TT things are going to change a lot.The Audi TT will be built on an entirely new platform, that will offer a mid-engine configuration. This will help improve both balance and handling.Under the hood Audi will place the conventional 1.4 liter TSI engine with 186 HP and a 2.0 TDI engine with 170 HP. For the top version model, the TT-RS, expect to see a 350 HP 2.5 five-cylinder engine.
We expect some big changes to occur with the third generation Audi TT. Mainly, we expect to see a sportier and aggressive design language inspired by the latest E-tron concept car. Of course, Audi will want to make a differentiate between the TT and the future R4 (or R5 as it is lately rumored to be called), but we still expect to see a new front grille, new headlamps with LED light, and a modified rear.
