Audi TT 3.2 quattro: Motoring preview

A motoring preview of the new Audi TT by UK's AutoExpress. Looks very hot in red!

Designers have stuck to a winning formula, opting for a gentle evolution of the TT shape, rather than anything groundbreaking. It certainly has a more muscular stance than its predecessor, and the styling is aggressive enough to help it match the Porsche Cayman – a rival which Audi has firmly in its sights.

As seems to be the current trend for new cars, the TT is longer and wider than its predecessor, but thanks to the increased use of aluminium in its construction, it’s actually 90kg lighter and has better weight distribution. This is instantly noticeable in the handling. The Audi turns in sharply and corners with minimum fuss, while quattro four-wheel drive means grip is excellent.
