1998 First Audi TT Coupe

The Audi TT design study shown at the 1995 German Motor Show was greeted enthusiastically, not least for the sheer purity of its design. Now the series-production model is about to be launched, and confirms the fascinating, no-compromise design of this remarkable sports car. The original concept is still totally intact ­ something of a rarity in automobile development! The necessities of series production have been incorporated into the design with exceptional care.
The TT first took shape in the minds ­ or better still, in the hearts ­ of Audi designers who have retained all their enthusiasm for a truly outstanding car, and who were given as much freedom as possible to translate their concept of "the way Audi should build a sports car" into reality.
The TT Coupй is the first Audi model to be built and assembled as a joint operation between Ingolstadt, Germany and Hungary.
