Technical features and occupant protection
Like on the "normal" Audi TT, the body is noted for its low weight
thanks to an innovative hybrid body construction developed by
Audi. Up front the body is made of lightweight aluminium compo-
nents assembled using Audi Space Frame ASF technology; steel is
used at the rear.
This solution guarantees maximum rigidity and a balanced distri-
bution of axle loads. The bodyshell of the Coupe weighs
206 kilograms, while the body of the TTS Roadster weighs in at
251 kilograms Roadster owing to the special reinforcements.
Audi won the EuroCarBody AWARD 2006 for the innovative body
concept of the Audi TT and Audi TT RS.
Other body and occupant protection features:
• Enlarged front air intakes, striking rear diffuser insert
• Stationary rear spoiler
• Dual-stage driver and front passenger front airbags
• Driver and front passenger belt tensioners and belt force limiters
• In a rear-end collision, head restraints support the back of the
head
• Head/thorax side airbags for protection in the event of a side
impact
Winner of the EuroCarBody AWARD 2006 for its innovative body concept
