THE AUDI TT

Inspired by the original Grand Prix cars of the 1930s, the Audi TT Coupe made its first appearance as a concept at the 1995 German Motor Show in Frankfurt. The international automotive press was enamored with the design, and the American market went wild when the car landed in the U.S. as a production model in 2000. The finished product differed little from the concept, except for slightly re-profiled bumpers and the addition of small rear windows behind the doors. Mechanically, the TT shares its powertrain layout with its related Volkswagen Group-mates. The TT uses a transversely mounted 4-cylinder engine, with either front-wheel drive or the optional 'Quattro' four-wheel drive. It was first available with a 1.8-liter inline four-cylinder 5-valveturbo charged engine. The Audi TT was nominated for the North American Car of the Year award for 2000. It was also on Car and Driver Magazine's Ten Best list for 2000 and 2001. By 2003, Audi had provided a "face-lift" to the TT, with a number of small styling and practicality improvements.

THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

This 2003 Roadster is being offed on behalf of its original owner with fewer than 900 original miles! Shortly after purchasing the car, it was put into storage where it would rest peacefully until recently be awoken. Once removed from storage, the car was sent to a highly respected Ferrari mechanic to be gone through and then professionally detailed. The result is a practically brand new Roadster. The car is accompanied by a rare factory hard top with stand, books, and a clean CarFax report. With drop top weather right around the corner, this Audi TT would make an ideal summer ride. If you were ever among the thousands that were enamored by the TTs stunning design and amazing handling characteristics, now is the time to strike.
