Half the battle is won by the fact that there are so few of its kind on the Indian roads and the TT very much looks the part with all the snob value. The hexagonal grille and the massive air intakes add to the TT’s street presence.Īnd then there is the shape of the sports car, two doors with a sloping roof line. These look modern and stylish, provide better illumination, detect the traffic moment to alter the intensity, switch to low beam when needed and also double up as active cornering lamps. The proportions are almost the same as before and so is the basic design, but the face is meaner with sharp edges for the headlamps that now use a hi-tech matrix beam. To start with the appearance, the TT coupe now looks aggressive. So our day spent with the new one was to find out if Audi has succeeded. Even in its most basic form, the new TT gets more power and better technology and that should ideally translate into more fun. In its third generation then, Audi aims at setting things right. The TT packed all the troubles of a sports car with harsh ride, low ground clearance and lack of space, yet it didn’t offer the kind of performance one expects to compensate for the pain.

The critics, however, haven’t been too kind to its all show no go approach. The Audi TT coupe has become an iconic car in its relatively short life span with its chic looks and light on pocket price tag.
