The second-generation Audi TT Coupe

April 7, 2006 The Audi TT was launched in 1998, taking the sports coupe segment by storm and sharpening the Audi brand profile enormously. Now the second generation of this iconic model is making its debut. The new TT is even more dynamic than its predecessor in its design, its drivetrain, and its running gear. The new Audi TT, like its predecessor, is initially available as a 2 plus 2 coupe; the separate roadster model scheduled for later launch. The body is constructed in the ASF Space Frame design developed by Audi and consists of aluminium and steel. This is the first time that it has combined different materials alongside each other. 69 percent of the superstructure is made of aluminium. The steel components making up the remaining 31 percent are to be found at the rear end, so as to ensure balanced distribution of the axle loads. To improve downforce, a spoiler is extended from the tailgate when the vehicle reaches a speed of 120 km/h.
