The next Audi TT coupe is already pounding around the world famous Nürburgring
racetrack, ahead of its arrival in 2014. This treacherous course,
nicknamed “the Green Hell,” should give the TT a thorough workout as it
transfers over to the VW Group’s MQB architecture. The new platform will underpin a vast array of models, including the next VW Golf and Audi A3.
Engines will be transversely mounted and, depending on its spec (and
market where it’s sold), the TT is certain to retain the choice of front
or all-wheel drive.
Evolutionary Changes
The TT coupe in these photos is wearing a clever disguise; the exterior looks nearly identical to the current model. Audi isn’t likely to radically alter the appearance of the car, though we expect the front and rear fasciae to have a more purposeful and performance-oriented design. Like the rest of the Audi lineup, the front will be fitted with narrower headlights and a re-profiled grille. LED lighting should feature heavily in both the headlights and taillights.
A slightly longer wheelbase should provide extra legroom, though the rear in this 2+2 is probably best left to kids or cargo. In the U.S., the engine lineup will likely remain the turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder or 2.5-liter inline-5 – an additional (smaller) gasoline and 2.0-liter TDI diesel engine will be available in Europe. Transmissions are likely to be mostly carry-over, though Audi could add an extra cog to the existing 6-speed automatic.
To save fuel, Audi might equip the TT with a stop-start system. And while nothing is confirmed, a hybrid or electric-powered model seems very feasible, given the car is based on the highly flexible MQB platform.
