In 1995 a concept car of a small sportscar was presented. Indeed, the TT which name reminds of the legendary Tourist Trophy and the NSU TT alike, saw production from 1998 on. In 1999 for the model year 2000 the TT Roadster followed. By its relatively small price and progressiv styling, the TT became a huge success immediately. |

The TT has became center of attention not only by its looks but also by its problems concerning driving stability in certain situations.
As I have not driven the car, I will not say much to that. However, every company must be aware that any product it offers to the market
has to be idiot-proof. I mean, in times like now, where you have to tell people that coffee is hot and objects in the rear view mirror are
closer than they appear, what do you expect? And that the TT is capable of reaching borderlines to which some TT drivers had no
admittance to with their old cars, could be possible, too. This shell be no glorifying, I just want to put it in second context. |

Audi offered its customers a retrofit of the ESP, together with other dampers, stabiizers (swaybars) and the rear spoier in already sold cars. New cars had this stock for some time already.. This retrofit is pretty spectacular as the ESP involves many sensors that had to be retrofitted, too. Audi built a special disassemble- retrofit- assemble line. With it it was possible to execute the retrofit fast and without too much lost for Audi. All retrofitted TTs had to pass the same tests as brand new cars before they were returned to the customer. Remember, some of these cars had quite some mileage done until then! |

Even if the TT Roadster looks good with closed top, its state-to-be is open! |

A nice back can be pleasing, too! |

Since September 2000 Audi offers the Roadster with a hardtop, too. Either straight from the factory with a new car or as a part that can be bought at the dealer later. This hardtop is one of the best looking available on the market. It flows nicely with the design of the TT and lets it look very much ike the Coupé concept car! |
