The Third Generation Audi TT Revelation Draws Closer

Audi has revealed some pictures of the third-generation Audi TT releasing two official sketches of the all-new model. It will be fully unveiled at the 2014 Geneva Show in March. These sketches illustrate the new model will adopt an evolutionary styling approach while retaining the familiar TT shape, with styling cues borrowed from the range-topping R8 supercar. Changes can be seen over the departing model with the restyled front end, shaped to give a more aggressive and tougher look. The reshaped grille, slimmer LED headlights and chiseled bonnet have all been inspired by the R8 supercar and e-tron concept. There’s no official word on what engines the third-gen TT will use but the bulk of engine options are likely to be made up of four-cylinder motors. Power will range from around 180bhp to 220bhp, while more efficient and cleaner diesel engines should also be offered. At the top of the range, the TT-S will be powered by an all-new 275bhp 2.0-litre turbo charged engine, with the TT-RS to use a reworked version of the five-cylinder 2.5-litre TFSI, expected to develop around 375bhp. More technical details and the car itself will be revealed at Geneva next month. Expect a slightly high price tag of around £25,000 when the TT arrives in showrooms later this year.
