These latest spy photographs show the all-new Audi TT with the least amount of camouflage ever, indicating that a debut is, just as it's been rumored, going to happen next month in Geneva.
The third generation TT coupe is supposed to be new from the ground up, built on the same MQB platform as the A3, but with a slightly shorter wheelbase and compact proportions. The engines are also going to be brand new, all turbocharged and very efficient.
And yet somehow, Audi has managed to pull a Porsche on us and made the new TT look the same as the old one. Audi fans will be able to tell there
have been subtle changes made to the grille or the way the glass slopes. But to the uninitiated the new TT has the same bonnet as the old one, the same stupidly simple flared wheel arch design and crammed cabin.
The only things that really manages to impress us is the way the headlights look at night. With a tapered rectangular look, they remind us of the A7, which considering the TT is about half the price is no bad thing.
The new TT could be lighter by about 80 kilograms, about 5% more powerful across the engine rage and of course more economical, but again this sounds just like the Porsche way of doing things. Why fix something that isn't broken? Because that's what consumers want Audi, something new.
