Audi TT: project car

Fourtitude is going to use a 2003 Brilliant Black 225-hp TT Quattro coupe as a project car.

Over the course of the next year or two, we will bring you a series of articles chronicling the transformation of the TT into a car that would be suitable for daily use as well as occasional hot laps around the local race tracks. We are looking to build a car that’s equally comfortable at a car show as it might be on a racing circuit. Modifications will be made to enhance the performance of the engine, brakes, and suspension first. These will then be followed by changes to the lighting, interior and exterior of the car.

A number of parts will be sourced from those enthusiast-based businesses developing TT specific parts and from companies that are dedicated to selling parts solely for the TT. In addition to those TT-specific parts, we’ll explore the large selection of aftermarket products out there that fit the car, in part due to its relationship to Volkswagen's Mark IV A-chassis cousins. We can also thank the large TT contingent in the UK for a burgeoning market for Audi's small sportscar and we’ll look to that side of the pond for some parts as well. So as not to bore you with a never-ending dialogue focused solely on the technical aspects of the project, we will also provide insights into the companies that will be involved in the transformation, hopefully providing our audience with a glimpse into the cottage industry created around the TT and the aftermarket industry surrounding Audis in general. It will be a fun journey and like any trip, we will probably take a few unknown roads along the way and may even ask for some directions, which hopefully will provide many unexpected but welcome surprises.
