Audi TT: Takes a turn around the track in Australia

A very impressive debut of the Audi TT in Australia, showing its performance abilities at a race track.

Clearly demonstrating ‘ Vorsprung durch Technik’, the new TT took the roads and the racetrack at Phillip Island with poise – proving that performance, design and prestige can co-exist in a single evolutionary sportscar package.

A series of VIP customer events, training event, the national press launch and a national dealer conference all took place during the TT launch week from 13 – 17 November 2006 at Phillip Island.

More than 250 people test-drove the new Audi TT during the week. Former Audi Super-Touring Car Champion, Brad Jones, was on hand at Phillip Island to ensure that both drivers and cars got the most out of their time on the racetrack and where able to experience the myriad new technologies in this latest model. These highlights include Audi Magnetic Ride, the new suspension set-up, powerful engines, quattro and of course the electric rear spoiler now a major feature of the new model.

Three variants are available at launch in Australia including;

Audi TT Coupe 2.0 T FSI manual, 147kW Rrp $68,900
Audi TT Coupe 2.0 T FSI S tronic, 147 kW Rrp $72,500
Audi TT Coupe 3.2 quattro S tronic, 184 kW Rrp $88,900

The new generation TT Coupe is even more expressive in its appearance than its highly-successful predecessor. Its defining element is the single frame grille, surrounded by a narrow chrome strip, immediately tying this new TT to the very latest generation of Audi design.
