New 2007 Audi TT Production Begins
Production of the new 2007 Audi TT has begun and a host of media partners are posting their first impressions and test drives. All indication is that Audi might have another winner on their hands. Here is a small round up of all the news and reviews.
2008 Audi Coupe
"Compared with the old TT's peaky boost, this engine has a far more even spread of power delivery, kicking up big urge whenever you press the throttle. It's also smooth and keen to rev, and comes with a bonus big-bore exhaust burble (not too loud, you understand, but just a gentle emphasis)."
"Audi today revealed the much-anticipated 2007 Audi TT Coupe. The car represents an evolution of the originals design, with considerably more aggressive styling. The new TT is larger (5 inches longer, 3 inches wider), and completely re-engineered. One of the most noticeable changes is the addition of Audis new corporate face aggressive headlights coupled with a large grille. The car is available with a four- or six-cylinder engine. The latter of which produces 250 hp and enables the TT to hit 62 mph in 5.7 seconds via its Quattro all-wheel-drive."

"With less mass to haul and improved aerodynamic properties, the TTs straight-line acceleration has improved. Ingolstadt claims 0-62mph in 5.7sec a good half a second inside the old V6s time. Top speed, as before, remains pegged at 155mph. The new TTs pop-up rear spoiler deploys from the rear bodywork at 75mph. Which brings us neatly to probably the most important question about the car: has the new TT shaken off the dynamic foibles of the first TT? Is this new one as good to drive as theyve promised?"
"A major part of sharpening the new coupé's responses was in re-engineering its structure. As Audi uses its spaceframe design - also seen on the A2 supermini and A8 executive car - the new TT is 50 per cent stiffer than before, and the construction comprises 69 per cent aluminium and 31 per cent steel. As a result, the car is 90kg lighter, and has better weight distribution. The TT has its steel components at the rear, as well as a spoiler which pops up at speed to provide greater grip at the back."

"We found the first picture of Audi's Magnetic Ride option for the new Audi TT with which you can adjust the chassis for even more driving pleasure."
