The Audi TT drew the world's attention when it was introduced in the 1990s because of its unique round exterior design and striking face highlighted by a rectangular grille and large headlights. The silhouette pf the second-generation model has been conventionalized a bit, looking more like other coupes in its segment, but the new TT remained a vehicle that pleasantly stood out in a crowd.
The car retained its attractive face, while on the rounded rear deck, an electric rear spoiler made its presence known, especially at high speeds reducing lift to the rear part of the car. Inside the sheet mteal, the cabin was designed with luxury and taste, thanks to an attractice dashboard and use of high-quality materials.
The car came with two engine options: a 2-liter DOHC direct-injected turbocharged and intercooled inline-4 and a normally-aspirated 3.2-liter DOHC V6 rated at 246 HP and 235.7 lb-ft of torque. Both power plants were mated to either a 6-speed manual or S-tronic transmission, the latter being the DSG twin-clutch system also utilized by Volkswagen.
The new TT featured a space frame construction that combined aluminum and steel, reputed to be 50 percent more rigid than the preceeding model (the roadster was actually 120 percent stiffer), despite being 100 kg lighter than the VW Golf which is based off of the same platform. A magnetic ride suspension system that allowed the driver to adjust dampening force was also available.
With the new TT, it wasn't just the car's styling that made enthusiasts notice, it was how it performed on the winding road that impressed people the most.
