First generation

A seamless laser-welded aluminum body was first realized on the Audi TT. That’s why the aerodynamics of the body of the first TT was one of the best in the class. The first Audi TT had simple and clear forms, rapid body lines, tinted optics, and low ground clearance. An aggressive and elegant look perfectly matches the sporty spirit of the car.

Second generation
The second generation of Audi TT was produced from 2006 to 2014. It was restyled in 2010. The body of the second-generation car was made of two-thirds aluminum, which made the car lighter. In addition to visual changes of the exterior and interior, the second TT received for the first time the Audi Magnetic Ride adaptive damping system as an option. This is an active suspension that used magnetic rheological shock absorbers. The damping properties of the suspension were adjusted by the electronic control unit in automatic mode. The Audi Space Frame (ASF) concept is a passive safety system that protects passengers from impacts on road accidents. It was used when the second Audi TT was created. A rigid aluminum frame was made inside the TT body. It prevented severe deformation of the passenger compartment during an accident.
