The Audi TT takes its name from the Isle of Man TT (Tourist Trophy) motorcycle race — where NSU, Audi's predecessor, had enjoyed considerable motor racing success. NSU marque began competing at the Isle of Man TT in 1907 with the UK manager Martin Geiger finishing in fifth position in the single-cylinder race.German Racing Motorcycles page 157 Mick Walker (1999) Redline Books {{ISBN|0 9531311 22}} The 1938 Isle of Man Lightweight TT race was won by Ewald Kluge with a 250 cc supercharged DKW motor-cycle{{citation | title = German Racing Motorcycles | page = 67 | first = Mick | last = Walker | date = 1999 | publisher = Redline Books | isbn = 0-9531311-22 }} and the DKW and NSU companies later merged into the company now known as Audi.{{cite web|url=http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/audi-tt-s-to-be-official-car-of-the-tourist-trophy-races/|title=Audi TT-S to be official car of the Tourist Trophy races|publisher=AUDI AG|work=AutoBlog.com|date=25 April 2008|access-date=24 December 2009}} The Audi TT also follows the NSU 1000TT, 1200TT and TTS cars of the 1960s in taking their names from the race.{{citation needed|date= June 2022}}

The production model (internal designation Type 8N) was launched as a coupé in September 1998, followed by a roadster in August 1999. It is based on the Volkswagen Group A4 (PQ34) platform as used for the Volkswagen Golf Mk4, the original Audi A3, the Škoda Octavia, and others. The styling differed little from the concept, except for slightly reprofiled bumpers, and the addition of rear quarterlight windows behind the doors. Factory production commenced in October 1998.

Early TTs were cited in a series of fatalities from accidents involving speeds over {{convert|180|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on|order=flip}}, abrupt lane changes or sharp turns. Both the coupé and roadster variants were recalled in late 1999/early 2000, to improve the car's handling predictability at very high speeds.{{cite web|title=2000 Audi TT Recalls|url=https://carsdesk.com/recalls/2000/audi/tt|access-date=21 September 2017}} Audi's Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) or Anti Slip Regulation (ASR) were added, as well as a rear spoiler, along with modifications to the suspension system. All changes were incorporated into subsequent production.

The Audi TT was nominated for the North American Car of the Year award for 2000 and made Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list for 2000 and 2001. By 2003, Audi revised the TT, with a number of small styling and practicality improvements.{{what?|date=January 2024}}

Production of the first generation (Type 8N) ended in June 2006.

Mechanically, the TT shares an identical powertrain layout with its related Volkswagen Group-mates. The TT uses a transversely mounted internal combustion engine, with either front-wheel drive or 'quattro four-wheel drive' available as an option. It was first available with a 1.8-litre inline four-cylinder 20-valve turbocharged engine in two states of DIN-rated power outputs; {{convert|180|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|225|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}}. The engines share the same fundamental design, but the 225 PS version features a larger K04 turbocharger (180 PS version came with a smaller K03), an additional intercooler on the left side (complementing the existing right-side intercooler), larger 20mm wrist-pins, a dual tailpipe exhaust, intake manifold with inlet on driver's side, and a few other internals – designed to accommodate the increase in turbo boost, from roughly {{convert|10|psi|bar|1}} peak, to {{convert|15|psi|bar|1}}. Haldex Traction enabled four-wheel drive, branded "Quattro", was optional on the 180 engine and standard on the more powerful 225 version.

The original four-cylinder engine range was complemented with a {{cvt|3189|cc|L CID|1|abbr=on}} VR6 engine rated at {{convert|250|PS|bhp kW|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|320|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque in early 2003, which came as standard with the quattro four-wheel-drive system. In July 2003, a new six-speed dual clutch transmission – dubbed the Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG), which improves acceleration through much-reduced shift times, was offered, along with a stiffer suspension.

According to Audi Head of Design Marc Lichte, the curved outline and rounded bodywork of the Mk1 TT's design was inspired by Bauhaus.{{Cite web |title=Timeless Icon: Exclusive Audi TT RS Coupé iconic edition celebrates innovative design and dynamics Domain name: audi-mediacenter.com |url=https://www.audi-mediacenter.com/en/press-releases/timeless-icon-exclusive-audi-tt-rs-coupe-iconic-edition-celebrates-innovative-design-and-dynamics-14945 |access-date=10 April 2022 |website=audi-mediacenter.com |publisher=Audi AG}} This simplified curved shape was unusual at the time. The drag coefficient of the original TT is 0.35,{{Cite web |title=1998 Audi TT Coupe (8N) 1.8T (225 Hp) quattro |url=https://www.auto-data.net/en/audi-tt-coupe-8n-1.8-t-225hp-quattro-4889 |access-date=21 February 2023 |website=auto-data.net |publisher=Automotive Data}} which is similar to its competitors such as the BMW Z4 and the Mazda MX-5.

However, the TT was involved in a number of high-speed accidents which were attributed to aerodynamic instability at high speeds. To solve these issues, Audi added modified control arms and firmer shock absorbers on both the front and rear suspension as well as a rear spoiler.

In 2005, Audi released the Coupé-only limited edition. Just 1,165 were produced. 800 with steering wheel on the right side, 365 with steering wheel on the left side. (900 sold in the UK, not the 1,000 originally planned) {{nowrap|Audi TT quattro Sport}}{{cite web|title=Audi TT quattro Sport revealed|url=http://www.worldcarfans.com/10502229479/audi-tt-quattro-sport-revealed|publisher=AUDI AG|work=WorldCarFans.com|date=22 February 2005|access-date=4 January 2010}} (known as the {{nowrap|Audi TT Club Sport}} in Europe) or TT QS. Built by AUDI AG's high-performance specialist subsidiary quattro GmbH, it had increased power from its 1.8-litre turbocharged engine – rising to {{convert|240|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|320|Nm|0|abbr=on}} of torque – and a reduction in weight of {{convert|75|kg|0|abbr=on}} to {{convert|1390|kg|0|abbr=on}}, which allowed for a {{convert|0–62|mph|km/h|0|abbr=on}} time of 5.9 seconds, and an electronically limited top speed of {{convert|155|mph|kph|0|abbr=on}}.

This weight reduction was achieved by removing the spare wheel, rear harmonic damper, rear parcel shelf and rear seats, and the standard fitment air conditioning. The main battery was also relocated to the rear of the vehicle in order to maintain weight distribution as much as possible. Lightweight fixed-back Recaro bucket seats graced the interior. Distinguishable from other TT Coupés by its two-tone paint scheme (Phantom Black pearl painted roof, pillars and mirror housings, in combination with either Avus Silver, Phantom Black, Mauritius Blue or Misano Red body colour) and unique 18" 15-spoke cast aluminium alloy wheels, plus the same body kit as fitted to the TT 3.2 V6, the TT quattro Sport also featured black exhaust tailpipes and uprated suspension settings and new wheels, {{convert|1/2|in|abbr=on}} wider at the rear for improved handling. The brochure stated V6-spec brakes were to be fitted, however models delivered in the UK came with the standard 225 spec brake callipers which were red-painted.

The 8N powertrain options consist of the following engines and drivelines:

In June 2007, a class action lawsuit was filed against Volkswagen Group of America, alleging the timing belts for model year 1999–2003 Audi and Volkswagen vehicles equipped with a 1.8-litre turbocharged engine failed prematurely.{{cite web |url= http://www.timingbeltsettlement.com/pdfs/Settlement.pdf |title= TimingBeltSettlement.com |access-date= 2 January 2009 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090206082622/http://timingbeltsettlement.com/pdfs/Settlement.pdf |archive-date= 6 February 2009 |url-status = dead }} The complaint alleged that the timing belts failed prior to the owner's manual's service interval. The parties reached a class-wide settlement, with preliminary approval of the settlement granted in May 2008.

In May 2008, a class action suit reached a nationwide settlement regarding allegedly defective instrument clusters on 2000–2004, and 2005 model year Audi TTs. Owners were entitled to submit claims for repairs, replacement and/or cash reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses and received a two-year instrument cluster warranty extension.{{cite web|url=http://www.classcounsel.com/news/audi.html|publisher=Green Welling LLP|title=Audi TT Instrument Cluster Settlement|access-date=25 December 2009|archive-date=22 August 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130822034650/http://classcounsel.com/news/audi.html|url-status=dead}}

For the 30th anniversary Quattro gmbH unveiled an Imola Yellow TT that sported a 2.7 L Bi-Turbo V6 engine from a B5 Audi RS4 that produced {{cvt|280|kW|PS hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{cvt|440|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} at 2,500 rpm{{Cite news|url=https://jalopnik.com/this-never-seen-audi-tt-prototype-could-eat-porsche-911-1454164828|title=This Never Seen Audi TT Prototype Could Eat Porsche 911s For Breakfast|last=Achorn|first=George|work=Jalopnik|access-date=2018-02-14|language=en-US}} which was manufactured in 2001. This was accomplished by using a B5 RS4 donor car, which included engine, transmission, rear differential, axles, brakes, and wheels from a B5 Avant. Using the RS4 drivetrain, Audi had the ability to utilize a Torsen based 6-speed Quattro manual transmission in a car that is normally using a transverse engine layout and Haldex based all wheel drive system.

In August 2004, Audi announced that the next generation TT would be manufactured using aluminium, and would go into production in 2007.{{cite web|title=Next-generation Audi TTs to be made of aluminum|url=http://autoweek.com/article/car-news/next-generation-audi-tts-be-made-aluminum|publisher=autoweek.com|date=8 August 2004|access-date=12 June 2015}} A preview of the second-generation TT was provided in the form of the Audi Shooting Brake concept car, shown at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2005. This concept was an insight into the new TT, but featured angular styling, and a "shooting-brake" two-door hatchback body style.{{cite web|url=http://www.autoblog.com/2005/10/11/audi-tt-shooting-brake-to-debut-at-tokyo/|title=Audi TT Shooting Brake to debut at Tokyo|publisher=Weblogs, Inc.|work=Autoblog.com|date=11 October 2005|access-date=25 December 2009}}

Audi debuted the second-generation TT, internal designation Type 8J, on 6 April 2006, using the Volkswagen Group A5 (PQ35) platform with aluminium front bodypanels, and steel in the rear, to enhance its near-neutral front-to-rear weight distribution. Available in front-wheel drive or "quattro" four-wheel drive layout, the TT was again offered as a 2+2 Coupé, and as a two-seater Roadster. The second generation was five inches longer and three inches wider than its predecessor.{{cite web|url=http://www.cargurus.com/Cars/Overview-c8186-2008-TT.html|title=2008 Audi TT – CarGurus' review|work=CarGurus.com|access-date=4 January 2010}} Factory production commenced during August 2006.ETKA{{Clarify|date=April 2010|reason=This is not a proper reference citation.

The powertrain options initially only included petrol engines, which consist of either one of two inline four-cylinder engines – the new 1.8-litre EA888 Turbocharged Fuel Stratified Injection (TFSI) (available initially only in Germany, later elsewhere from mid 2009),{{cite web|title=Audi TT Roadster slims down for Summer |url=http://www.audi.co.uk/about-audi/latest-news/audi-tt-roadster-slims-down-for-summer.html |publisher=Audi UK |work=audi.co.uk |date=23 March 2009 |access-date=4 January 2010 |url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110519130825/http://www.audi.co.uk/about-audi/latest-news/audi-tt-roadster-slims-down-for-summer.html |archive-date=19 May 2011 }} or the more common and established EA113-variant 2.0-litre TFSI. The Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI) technology was derived from the Audi Le Mans endurance race cars, and offers improved fuel efficiency as well as an increased power output and cleaner emissions. The 3.2-litre 'V6' badged VR6 engine was carried over from the previous generation.{{cite web|url=http://microsites.audicanada.ca/my09/pdf/ca/2009_Audi_TT_TTS.pdf |title=2009 Audi TT / TTS |url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090420002936/http://microsites.audicanada.ca/my09/pdf/ca/2009_Audi_TT_TTS.pdf |archive-date=20 April 2009 }} 2.0 TFSI quattro models, with the latest EA888 engine, became available in 2009 model year.{{cite web|title=Audi TT range gathers momentum for 2009|url=http://www.audi.co.uk/audi/uk/en2/about_audi_ag/news/Audi_TT_range_gathers_momentum_for_2009.html|publisher=Audi UK|work=audi.co.uk|date=22 December 2008|access-date=31 January 2009}} {{Dead link|date=December 2009}}

A six-speed manual transmission is standard, with the six-speed Direct-Shift Gearbox (now called "S-TRONIC" on all Audi models) as an option for all engines. Quattro on-demand four-wheel drive, again using the Haldex Traction clutch is available – standard on V6 models, but not available on the 1.8 TFSI.

Like all its PQ35 platform-mates, the 8J TT has a multi-link fully independent rear suspension to complement the front independent suspension. The entire suspension system can be enhanced with Audi's new active suspension, "Audi Magnetic Ride", available as an option. This is based on BWI Group's MagneRide, which uses magneto rheological dampers (this means that an electronic control unit for the suspension will automatically adjust its damping properties depending on the current road conditions and driving manner).

The new TT also features a revised rear spoiler which preserves the clean aesthetics of the TT when not raised. The spoiler automatically deploys at 125 km/h (78 mph) to increase down-force, and retracts again below 80 km/h (50 mph).

The spoiler can be manually controlled via a switch on the lower centre console. Manual operation by the switch reverts to automatic operation (i.e.: manual mode is cancelled) if the vehicle speed rises above the stated limit.

Power comes from the new 2.0-litre Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) engine, now with 16 valves, double overhead camshaft (DOHC), {{convert|1.8|bar|psi|-1|adj=on}} common rail fuel delivery and eight-hole piezo fuel injectors, which produces a DIN-rated output of {{convert|125|kW|PS bhp|0|abbr=on}} at 4,200 rpm and torque of {{convert|350|Nm|0|abbr=on}} at 1,750 to 2,500 rpm. It includes a six-speed manual transmission.

Acceleration from standstill to {{convert|100|km/h|1|abbr=on}} on the Coupé is achieved in 7.5 seconds, and it will go on to reach a top speed of {{convert|226|km/h|1|abbr=on}}. The slightly less aerodynamically efficient Roadster reaches {{convert|100|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}} in 7.7 seconds, with a top speed of {{convert|223|km/h|1|abbr=on}}.

Audi claims average fuel consumption for the Coupé variant with this 2.0 TDI engine is {{convert|5.3|L/100 km|1}}, which achieves a CO₂ emissions rating of 139 gram/km. The Roadster TDI achieves an average {{convert|5.5|L/100 km|1}} and CO₂ of 144 gram/km.

As an additional package a standard Audi TT can be bought from factory with a special body kit upgrade to make it look like the Audi TT-RS version. The upgrade includes a fixed rear spoiler and Alcantara/leather sports seats (Silk Nappa, Fine Nappa leather optional).

Audi displayed a new show car variant of the second generation Audi TT – the Audi TT Clubsport quattro, at the 2008 Wörthersee Tour at Pörtschach am Wörthersee in Austria.{{cite web|title=Return of the Audi TT Clubsport quattro |url=http://www.audi.co.uk/about-audi/latest-news/return-of-the-audi-tt-clubsport-quattro.html |publisher=Audi UK |work=audi.co.uk |date=23 May 2008 |access-date=4 January 2010 |url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110519132408/http://www.audi.co.uk/about-audi/latest-news/return-of-the-audi-tt-clubsport-quattro.html |archive-date=19 May 2011 }} Shown only in an open-topped "speedster" variant, its 2.0 TFSI engine has been tuned to give {{convert|221|kW|PS bhp|0|abbr=on}}. The soft-top on the standard TT Roadster has been deleted, and replaced with two "humps", along with two substantial roll bars. LED daytime running lamps, an aggressive body kit with large frontal air intakes, black-painted "single frame grille" and a lower spoiler lip complete the new look from the front. The axle track has been widened by {{convert|66|mm|1}}, with bolder and wider wheel arch extensions, polished 19-inch alloys, wider side sills and 255-section tyres are the highlight of the side profile. At the rear, twin polished stainless steel oval tail pipes exit aside a new rear diffuser.

Racing bucket seats, along with lightweight aluminium detail complete the interior look, and a six-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission with quattro four-wheel drive and TTS spec brakes ({{convert|340|mm|1|abbr=on}} up front, and {{convert|310|mm|1|abbr=on}} at the rear) complete the mechanicals.

Whilst the TT Clubsport quattro is primarily a "show car", Audi has not ruled out the possibility of small-scale production.

The TT RS featured a new 2.5-litre Inline-5 turbocharged petrol engine. This {{convert|183|kilogram|abbr=on|0}} engine produces a DIN-rated power output of {{convert|250|kW|PS bhp|0|abbr=on}} from 5,400 to 6,700 rpm, and torque of {{convert|450|Nm|0|abbr=on}} at 1,600–5,300 rpm.Audi UK [http://www.audi.co.uk/audi/uk/en2/new_cars/tt/ttrs/engine.html The heart of the TT RS] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090413114930/http://www.audi.co.uk/audi/uk/en2/new_cars/tt/ttrs/engine.html |date=13 April 2009 }}

Ever since the original Audi "RS" model – the Audi RS2 Avant – all Audi "RS" models were assembled at the quattro GmbH factory in Neckarsulm. The TT RS is the first Audi RS vehicle that didn't have any of its assembly performed in Neckarsulm but was completely assembled in the Audi factory in Győr, Hungary, alongside the base Audi TT.

The TT RS has a new short-shift close-ratio six-speed manual transmission, and like all "RS" models, is only available with four-wheel-drive, with the TT RS using a specially adapted version of the latest generation multi-plate clutch from Haldex Traction.Audi UK [http://www.audi.co.uk/audi/uk/en2/new_cars/tt/ttrs/technology.html Driving with unimagined intensity] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090513060612/http://www.audi.co.uk/audi/uk/en2/new_cars/tt/ttrs/technology.html |date=13 May 2009 }} Additions to the quattro system include a constant velocity joint before the cardan propeller shaft, and a compact rear-axle differential – upgraded to cope with the increased torque from the five-cylinder turbo engine.

Like the TTS, the TT RS has a {{convert|10|mm|1}} lower ride height, optional "Audi Magnetic Ride", and rides on standard 18-inch wheels with 245/45 ZR18 tyres (optional 19" or 20" wheels are also available). The brakes are upgraded to include two-piece cross-drilled and radially vented front discs, sized at {{convert|370|mm|1|abbr=on}} in diameter. The front discs are clamped by gloss black painted four-piston calipers, adorned with the RS logo. Rear ventilated discs are sized at {{convert|310|mm|1|abbr=on}} in diameter.

It includes a fixed rear spoiler (retractable optional), and has black interior with heated Alcantara/leather sports seats (Silk Nappa, Fine Nappa leather optional). The Recaro "RS bucket" seats, first seen in the Audi B7 RS4 are also available as an option. Also carried over from the B7 RS4 is the "Sport" button, which sharpens the throttle response and deepens the exhaust note, and a three-stage user-selectable Electronic Stability Programme (ESP).

Official performance figures indicate the TT RS Coupé will accelerate from a standstill to {{convert|100|km/h|1|abbr=on}} in 4.5 seconds (4.7 seconds for the Roadster), with an electronically limited top speed of {{convert|250|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}}. There is a factory option to de-restrict the top speed to {{convert|280|km/h|1|abbr=on}}. The Coupé has a kerb weight of {{convert|1450|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}}, and the Roadster weighs in at {{convert|1510|kg|0|abbr=on}}.

As of 2010, the TT-RS is available with the 7-speed DSG automatic transmission capable of handling the torque delivered by the engine. The 6-speed gearbox used in the TT-S cannot cope with {{cvt|450|Nm|lbft|0}} of torque, which is why the TT-RS initially was offered only with a manual transmission.

The car went on sale in March 2009, with delivery beginning in summer.{{cite web|url=http://www.autoblog.com/2009/03/03/geneva-2009-2010-audi-tt-rs/|title=Geneva 2009: 2010 Audi TT RS|date=3 March 2009 |publisher=Autoblog.com}}

In 2010, the TT-RS was confirmed for the US market. The decision was influenced by an internet petition to bring the TT-RS stateside, which succeeded with over 11,000 signatures.{{cite web |last=Stertz |first=Bradley |url=http://audiusanews.com/pressrelease/1939//confirmed-audi-tt-rs-coming-america |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120924074521/http://www.audiusanews.com/pressrelease/1939/confirmed-audi-tt-rs-coming-america |url-status = dead|archive-date=24 September 2012 |title=Confirmed: Audi TT RS coming to America |publisher=Audi of America |date=14 September 2010 |access-date=31 May 2014 }} The TT-RS arrived in Q3 2011 as a 2012 model.

In 2012, the TT RS plus was launched. It featured the uprated version of the TT RS' engine that had originally been developed for the RS Q3 concept car; this version of the engine produces {{convert|355|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} at 5500 rpm, and {{convert|343|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque at 1650 rpm.{{cite web |url=http://www.evo.co.uk/audi/tt-rs |title=2013 Audi TT RS Plus review and pictures |publisher=evo |date=4 June 2013 |access-date=1 May 2015 |first=Harry |last=Metcalfe |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150611045912/http://www.evo.co.uk/audi/tt-rs |archive-date=11 June 2015 |url-status = dead}} As a result of this power increase, Audi claimed that the 0-{{convert|62|mph|km/h|0|abbr=on}} time had decreased to 4.3 seconds for the manual version, and 4.1 seconds for the S-tronic version. In addition to this, Audi raised the top speed limiter, with the TT RS plus being restricted to {{convert|174|mph|km/h|0|abbr=on}}.

In 2023, Audi unveiled the Final Edition of the TT, coinciding with the discontinuation of the TT due to declining sales of the two-door coupé segment. The Final Edition TTs feature black exterior accents consisting of the tailpipes, badges and rings, door mirrors, and fixed spoiler. The roadster is equipped with black roll bars and a black wind diffuser, while the coupé receives privacy glass. The TT Final Edition receives 20-inch, Y-style five spoke matte grey finished wheels with red brake calipers, while the TT S Final Edition is fitted with seven spoke black alloy wheels of Audi Sport. Both body styles are available in either Chronos Grey Metallic, Glacier White, or Tango Red body colors.

On the interior, the Final Edition is equipped with the extended leather package, which adds the material to the center console trim, armrests, and door pull handles. A red stitched Alcantara steering wheel is fitted, with a 12 o'clock marker unique to the Final Edition. The air vents, armrests, and center console of the coupe are adorned with Tango Red accents. The Alcantara-trimmed seats feature red stitching, and the floor mats receive red piping as well. The Final Edition is exclusive to the United Kingdom, with Audi confirming that it will not be available in North America.{{Cite web|url=https://www.motor1.com/news/652881/audi-tt-discontinued-2023-final-edition-uk/|title=Audi TT Discontinued After 2023 In US, Final Edition Launches In UK|access-date=2023-06-28}}

The Audi TT Offroad Concept was unveiled as an SUV concept version of the Audi TT at the 2014 Auto China. The SUV utilized a hybrid system coupled with the 2.0-litre TFSI Inline-4 engine producing a total of {{cvt|304|kW|PS hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{cvt|479|lbft|Nm|0|lk=|abbr=on|order=flip}} of torque. The SUV utilises a 6-speed dual clutch automatic transmission. The hybrid system consists of a {{cvt|40|kW|PS hp|0|abbr=on}} electric motor on the front axle and an {{cvt|85|kW|PS hp|0|abbr=on}} electric motor on the rear axle. In full EV mode, the vehicle uses the rear motor only; Hybrid and Sport modes utilise all three power sources, and all-wheel-drive traction is applied as needed. Performance figures include a {{cvt|0–62|mph|kph|0|abbr=on}} acceleration time of 5.2 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of {{cvt|155|mph|kph|0|abbr=on}}. The distinguishing features of the concept include matrix LED headlights and two new assistance systems: One that scans intersections for potentially dangerous situations, and a second that connects to a municipality's traffic-light system in order to recommend a perfect speed to reach the next light when it is green. The interior is relatively close to the TT's with leather upholstery from Italian fashion brand Poltrona Frau and features a high-tech TFT display in front of the driver populated with the information that would normally be projected onto a central, dash-mounted screen—i.e. navigation, entertainment. The trunk of the vehicle contains a 1:8 scale RC car as a souvenir.{{Cite news|url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/audi-tt-offroad-concept-photos-and-info-news|title=Audi TT Offroad Concept|work=Car and Driver|access-date=2018-06-15|language=en}}{{cite web|url=http://www.caradvice.com.au/282254/audi-tt-offroad-concept-revealed/|title=Audi TT Offroad Concept revealed|work=caradvice.com.au}}
