Audi TT toekomst generatie 3

2014  Audi TT toekomst generatie 3

Na de TT 1 en de TT 2 model komt er in 2014 een leuke opvolger. Maar Audi zal meer modellen doen in de sportieve range, zo ook een compacte R8, R4 of R5 geheten en natuurlijk de concept quattro komt eraan, maar hoe dat wordt blijft gissen. Alleen de 2.5TFSI erin of een bredere motoren pallet.

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.

Project Kahn have released today the first images with their newest project, an upgrade program for the Audi TT called TR8. The whole theme of this new customization program for the TT was inspired by the car’s bigger and way more expensive “brother”, the Audi R8, hence the TR8 name.

The Project Kahn Audi TT TR8 received a new front bumper inspired by the R8, a lower front apron, new side skirts, a new rear bumper with an integrated diffuser and a discreet boot lid spoiler. The new exterior look was completed with an elegant gray and black finish and a new set of bespoke 20″ RSV light alloy wheels wrapped in new tires.

We don’t have any images of the car’s interior yet, but Project Kahn will probably continue with the same theme as the exterior inside the cockpit as well. More details about the Project Kahn Audi TT TR8 such as pricing and more images will be released by the UK tuners in the next week.

The 2013 Audi TT is currently on the drawing board, and we recently got some insight as to what the all-new coupe could look like when it arrives in the sheet metal. The distinctive two-door, four-seat car, now in its second iteration, is an important one for Audi. It currently slots in beneath the R8 as the brand’s attainable sports car offering.

According to Egger, the third-generation TT will likely blend styling traits from both the first- and second-generation cars, mixing the pure, classic appearance of the original model with the more elegant appeal of the current model. Egger said that the more distinctive greenhouse of the original model could make a return of sorts, reviving some first TT’s uniquely classic charm.

Egger also hinted that the next TT could get a slightly more aggressive demeanor, possibly courtesy of a similar nose treatment to the Audi e-tron concept currently on display at the Detroit auto show. Still, the TT won’t change its overall identity, meaning that a 2+2 hatchback configuration will remain on most TT models and the focus will be on a mix of practicality, performance, comfort, and style.

But although the standard TT still won’t become as performance-focused as, say, the Porsche Cayman, sources tell us that the sportier RS model, deemed a success in Europe, is likely to remain in the lineup with the third-gen TT. Currently the harder-core TT RS is not sold in the U.S., but that too could change in the future. We’ll be keeping our fingers crossed.
