History:
1998, Audi released the production version of the first generation TT at the Paris Motor Show. Compared with the concept car, the appearance has not changed much. The mass production of Audi TT caused a sensation in the industry for a while-because no one thought that this concept car would be mass-produced. With a more fashionable appearance and a more grounded price, TT instantly snatched more than half of the popularity of Mercedes-Benz SLK.
At the Geneva Motor Show of 1999, Audi released the convertible version of TT.
From 65438 to 0999, a series of traffic accidents caused by TT expressway out of control attracted media attention. Audi immediately launched an investigation into this, and the final report showed that TT, when the speed exceeds 65,438+0.80 km/h, will lose control of the vehicle and cause a vicious accident if it carries out excessive operations such as emergency merging.
To this end, Audi recalled all TT models sold from the end of 1999 to the beginning of 2000. The improvement scheme is to improve the rear suspension setting, increase ESP, install a small tail at the tail and increase the downforce at high speed.
At the Tokyo Motor Show in 2005, Audi introduced the concept car TTShootingBrake. Although it has not been mass-produced (it seems impossible now), its appearance does pave the way for the upcoming second generation TT.
