For greater than 20 years, Audi has been making an attempt to reinvent its unique object of want: the TT. Now the hunt is over. Subsequent month the TT Final Edition — sounds fairly remaining, no? — goes on sale in Europe.

In accordance with a consultant from Audi of America, there are not any plans to carry the ultimate fashions to the US, though collection manufacturing TTs will proceed to be bought right here.
“The TT is without doubt one of the iconic Audi fashions that outlined a design period,” the consultant stated. “It is without doubt one of the most original vehicles of the fashionable period that mixed the simplicity of a holistic Bauhaus design in and out with an unmistakable stance and silhouette.”
If the TT identify is resurrected, almost definitely the automobile that will emerge can be electrified. The key concern, the model’s designers have stated, is that any follow-up model should keep true to the TT’s attractive, curvaceous, hunkered-down DNA.
