The Audi TT Coupe is sporty two-door, four-passenger names after the first European motorsports event Tourist Trophy in 1905. Audi released the first TT concept in 1995 and has been in production since 2000. Audi’s new 2012 TT model is expected to be released in the summer of 2012 and may be limited edition starting at a price of $38,300.
Audi added to the 2012 TT Coupe a more powerful and larger 2.5-liter 350-horsepower inline-5 engine with manual transmission compared to the 2.0-liter inline-4 engine of the previous model. The TT delivers 22mpg in city and 31mpg on the highway.
Audi’s signature headlights gives the TT Coupe a distinct look while improving visibility and saving energy. The new black diamond patterned front grille and fog light grilles adds an exclusive element to this model. The combination of the rear diffuser with dual exhaust asserts an aggressive look. Finally, it is enhanced by the specially designed air inlets with three dimensional sharp edges. All these elements come together to create an exterior of Audi’s classic design.
The interior features standard sport seats, multi-function steering wheel, and navigation system. The leather sport seats offers lateral and thigh support. The front seats allow the driver and passenger to adjust the angle, height, and forward/backward positions. The leather wrapped multifunction steering wheel is race inspired including shift paddles for rapid gear changes. It provides easy access to Bluetooth, audio volume, and CD track selection. Rear seats include split folding giving 24.7 cubic feet of storage. Audi offers an option DVD based navigation which includes 2 CD card slots and 6-CD changer or iPod compatibility. The aluminum and high gloss black accents gives the final touches to the interior reflecting the classic sporty concept of Audi.
