NSU marque began competing at the Isle of Man TT in 1907 with the UK manager Martin Geiger finishing in fifth position in the single-cylinder race. The Audi TT takes its name from the successful motor racing tradition of NSU in the British Isle of Man TT (Tourist Trophy) motorcycle race. However, from 2003, a dual clutch six-speed Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG) became available, with the United Kingdom TT variants becoming the world's first user of a dual clutch transmission configured for a right-hand drive vehicle, although the outright world first for a road car equipped with a dual clutch transmission was claimed earlier by a Volkswagen Group platform-mate, the left hand drive Volkswagen Golf Mk4 R32. Audi did not initially offer any type of automatic transmission option for the TT. The design is credited to J Mays and Freeman Thomas, with Hartmut Warkuss, Peter Schreyer, Martin Smith and Romulus Rost contributing to the interior design.Ī previously unused laser beam welding adaptation, which enabled seamless design features on the first-generation TT, delayed its introduction. The TT was first shown as a concept car at the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show. The styling of the Audi TT began in the spring of 1994 at the Volkswagen Group Design Center in California. In February 2023, the automaker announced the TT would be discontinued with a Final Edition limited model. Born from this platform, the Audi TT shares powertrain and suspension layouts with its siblings, including the Audi A3, like a transversely mounted front-engine, powering front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, and fully independent suspension using MacPherson struts in front. įor each of its three generations, the TT has been available as a 2+2 coupé and as a two-seater roadster based on consecutive generations of Volkswagen's "Group A" platforms, starting with its 'PQ34' fourth generation. The first two generations were assembled by Audi's Hungarian subsidiary, one of the world's biggest engine making plants, using bodyshells manufactured and painted at Audi's Ingolstadt plant and parts made entirely by the Hungarian factory for the third generation.
