Successful for decades: 662,762 units across three generations built over 25 years Design inspired by Bauhaus: every shape has a clear function Vorsprung durch Technik: New technologies launched with the TT, including Audi magnetic ride, Audi virtual cockpit, and OLED technology
A quarter of a century of TT history: When Audi presented the concept car at the IAA in 1995, public opinion became clear right away: “This car should be mass-produced – exactly as it is!” With the series debut in 1998, the Audi TT wrote design history and was built across three generations as a Coupé and Roadster.
With a vision of “a car for enthusiasts,” Audi presented the Audi TTCoupé as a sports car concept at the IAA in Frankfurt in the fall of 1995. Shortly afterward, the decision was made to mass-produce it. Torsten Wenzel, the exterior designer at Audi who helped introduce the study to series production, recalls: “To us, the greatest praise was when the trade press noted appreciatively that not much had changed from the concept to production model, although we did, of course, have to adapt many details due to the technical specifications for the production version, including the proportions.” Most noticeable was the integration of a rear side window, which elongated the car’s profile and increased the sports car’s dynamics. For Wenzel, the TT remains “a driving sculpture, with highest-quality surfaces and lines.” The body of the Audi TT appears to be made from one piece, Wenzel says, and the front end without traditional bumper overhangs emphasizes its distinctive shape. Another design element contributes to the unmistakable silhouette of the Audi TTCoupé: the circle – “the perfect graphic shape,” as Wenzel describes it. Numerous circular elements inspired the sports car’s exterior and interior design. Inspired by Bauhaus, every line in the Audi TT has a purpose, every shape a function. “At Audi Design, we always follow the philosophy of ‘less is more.’

With the Audi R8 high-performance sports car and the fully electric e-tron GT and RSe-tron GT models, completely different vehicle concepts are created in one plant. To integrate the electrically powered models into the production process, assembly was expanded by 20 to 36 work cycles. New competencies in the areas of electrification, automation, and digitalization were also added. The strengths and experience of the manufacturing plant were retained. The result was a unique interplay of new technology and craftsmanship for the smart factory and manufactory operation. Five-cylinder success story: After Audi had already built five-cylinder engines from 1976 to 1997, Audi Sport GmbH revived the concept in 2009 in the Audi TT RS. Unlike its predecessors in the larger Audi models, the second-generation 250 kW (340 hp) power unit is not installed longitudinally but positioned transversely in the front of the compact coupe. A jury named the five-cylinder turbocharged engine as the “International Engine of the Year” nine times in succession. The successful unit is also used in the various generations of the RS 3 and RS Q3. Premium package: Audi exclusive developed high-quality ideas for the interior at an early stage. The first generation of the Audi A8 was equipped with a cool box, a bar compartment, a VHS player with a monitor, a folding table, and electrically operated curtains. Later developments featured headrests with monitors, a seat center section with a DVD player, and a control console. Audi was a pioneer in the industry when it came to landline telephones and fax machines inside cars. In 2022, Audi exclusive implemented ten limited special editions and individualized every fourth Audi R8.
