According to Audi engineers and officials, the development of the first-generation Audi TT Coupe will mark the true innovative sporty design in automotive technology. Since the Audi TT concept was introduced years ago, followed by its massive production, Audi still manages to continue in bringing updates and modifications to the TT coupe along with supporting Audi accessories.

When Audi launches the new 2008 TT Coupe in the 2006 New York International Auto Show, car fanatics could not bear not to focus their attention on the sporty and elegant vehicle from Audi. The trademark of TT concept is still visible, although Audi engineers had redefined the 2008 Audi TT Coupe design to make the overall appearance more distinctive than the previous TT models. As a result, the 2008 Audi TT features an aggressive look on the front headlights, enhanced large front grilles, and lustrous exterior body style.

Some car experts say that although the 2008 Audi TT Coupe was designed to be a sporty vehicle, its driving performance is not that powerful unlike the true sports car. The 2008 Audi TT Coupe is available in four or six cylinder engines. The six cylinder turbocharged engine produces 250 HP, which allows the Audi TT to accelerate with an average of 62 MPH in just 5.7 seconds. Not only that, both engines are equipped with six-speed manual transmission and can be combined with Audi’s dynamic S-tronic dual-clutch gearbox.

Audi engineers had recently developed the innovative dynamic suspension system and installed it in the new 2008 Audi TT Coupe. Dynamic suspension system provides self-steering behavior enabling the driver to have a comfortable handling experience.

Advanced features of the new Audi TT Coupe include automatic air conditioning system and the magnetic ride damper system. With Audi’s goal to make the new TT Coupe more lively, engineers decreased the weight on the front by adding lightweight aluminum suspension parts, hoods, and fenders. Audi will begin selling the TT Coupe next spring, so watch out for the announcement.
