Model history for the World-wide market
In 1995 Audi presented a pioneering study: the Audi TT. The Coupé (IAA Frank-
furt, 1995) and Roadster (Tokyo Motor Show, 1995) showcars were followed by
the production versions of the Audi TT Coupé in 1998 and Audi TT Roadster in
1999. When the rst-generation Audi TT came on the market in 1998 it was a
design revolution. Radical in design, but suitable for everyday use – that was the
motto for the rst Audi TT.
The third generation of this classic has adopted many of the design elements
that characterized the rst-generation TT – coupled with innovative technology.
Between the rst and third generation of the TT lie nearly 20 years of develop-
ment in technology and design. Here, in brief, are the key milestones in the
model history of the Audi TT.
