2016 Audi TT: Audi's compact sprinter gets updated - Chron.com
I drove the first generation of the Audi TT that came to America in 2000. It was avant-garde, with an exterior that made me swoon, a cabin that was inventive, and technologies that were innovative … and, then, there was the power that was... So, I wondered, what would the all-new third gen model bring that would retain the TT's heritage, yet propel it to novel wizardry. Redesigned outside and in, the all-new TT has also been endowed with significant updates in technology. Available in a four-seater coupe or two-passenger roadster body, all TTs come Quattro as standard issue. The coupe starts at $42,900 and the roadster at $46,400. it will also be available soon dressed as the more sizzling TTS Quattro coupe that will be priced starting at $51,900 - a roadster will follow later. On sale late summer, the new TT and TTS compete with the Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayman, BMW Z4, Mazda Miata MX-5, and the Mercedes-Benz SLK , among others. The new TT keeps its unique, iconic shape and has some refinements that modernize its fully aluminum body. The three-box design wears its top one-third as its slightly stretched upper cabin and the bottom two-thirds as the body that has a look of motion more than the previous more bubbled shape.
