The production model (internal designation '''''Type'' 8N''') was launched as a [[coupé]] in September 1998, followed by a [[Roadster (automobile)|roadster]] in August 1999. It is based on the [[Volkswagen Group A platform#A4|Volkswagen Group A4 (PQ34) platform]] as used for the [[Volkswagen Golf Mk4]], the original [[Audi A3#8L|Audi A3]], the [[Škoda Octavia#1U|Škoda Octavia]], and others. The styling differed little from the concept, except for slightly reprofiled bumpers, and the addition of rear quarterlight windows behind the doors. Factory production commenced in October 1998.

The Audi TT was nominated for the ''[[North American Car of the Year]]'' award for 2000. and It was also onmade ''[[Car and Driver]]'' magazine's [[Car and Driver Ten Best|Ten Best list]] for 2000 and 2001. By 2003, Audi had provided a "face-lift" torevised the TT, with a number of small styling and practicality improvements.{{what?|date=January 2024}}
 
Production of the Audifirst TTgeneration (Type 8N) ended in June 2006.
 
===Powertrain===
[[File:Audi TT 8N engine.JPG|thumb|right|The 1.8 L turbocharged inline-4 engine]]
 
Mechanically, the TT shares an identical [[powertrain]] layout with its related Volkswagen Group-mates. The TT uses a [[transverse engine|transversely]] mounted [[internal combustion engine]], with either [[front-wheel drive]] or '[[quattro (four-wheel-drive system)|quattro four-wheel drive]]' available as an option. It was first available with a 1.8-litre [[inline-four engine|inline four-cylinder]] [[multi-valve|20-valve]] [[turbocharger|turbocharged]] engine in two states of [[Deutsches Institut für Normung|DIN]]-rated power outputs; {{convert|180|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|225|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}}. The engines share the same fundamental design, but the 225&nbsp;PS version features a larger K04 turbocharger (180 PS version came with a smaller K03), an additional [[intercooler]] on the left side (complementing the existing right-side [[intercooler]]), larger 20mm [[Gudgeon pin|wrist-pins]], a dual tailpipe exhaust, [[Inlet manifold|intake manifold]] with inlet on driver's side, and a few other internals – designed to accommodate the increase in [[turbocharger#boost|turbo boost]], from roughly {{convert|10|psi|bar|1}} peak, to {{convert|15|psi|bar|1}}. [[Haldex Traction]] enabled [[four-wheel drive]], branded "Quattro", was optional on the 180 engine and standard on the more powerful 225 version.

In 2005, Audi released the Coupé-only limited edition. toJust 1,165 pieceswere produced. 800 with steering wheel on the right side/, 365 with steering wheel on the left side.

Built by AUDI AG's high-performance specialist subsidiary [[quattro GmbH]], it had increased power from its 1.8-litre turbocharged engine – rising to {{convert|240|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|320|Nm|0|abbr=on}} of torque – and a reduction in weight of {{convert|75|kg|0|abbr=on}} to {{convert|1390|kg|0|abbr=on}},<ref name=WCF_qS/> which allowed for a {{convert|0–62|mph|km/h|0|abbr=on}} time of 5.9&nbsp;seconds, and an electronically limited top speed of {{convert|155|mph|kph|0|abbr=on}}.<ref name=WCF_qS/>
 
This weight reduction was achieved by removing the spare wheel, rear harmonic damper, rear parcel shelf and rear seats, and the standard fitment air conditioning.<ref name=WCF_qS/> The main battery was also relocated to the rear of the vehicle in order to maintain weight distribution as much as possible. Lightweight fixed-back [[Recaro]] bucket seats graced the interior.<ref name=WCF_qS/> Distinguishable from other TT Coupés by its two-tone paint scheme (Phantom Black pearl painted roof, pillars and mirror housings, in combination with either Avus Silver, Phantom Black, Mauritius Blue or Misano Red body colour)<ref name=WCF_qS/> and unique 18" 15-spoke cast aluminium [[alloy wheel]]s, plus the same body kit as fitted to the TT 3.2 V6, the TT quattro Sport also featured black exhaust tailpipes and uprated suspension settings and new wheels, {{convert|1/2|in|abbr=on}} wider at the rear for improved handling. The brochure stated V6-spec brakes were to be fitted, however models delivered in the UK came with the standard 225 spec brake callipers which were red-painted.

On 22 May 2008, the U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, entered an order preliminarily approving a nationwide settlement of a class action lawsuit brought by Green Welling LLP, on behalf of all current and prior owners and lessees of 2000–2004, and 2005 model year Audi TTs. The lawsuit and settlement related to allegedly defective instrument clusters, and Audi TT owners are entitled to submit claims for repairs, replacement and/or cash reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses, and all TT owners covered by the suit will receive a two-year extension of their existing four-year warranty (limited to the instrument cluster).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.classcounsel.com/news/audi.html|publisher=Green Welling LLP|title=Audi TT Instrument Cluster Settlement|access-date=25 December 2009|archive-date=22 August 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130822034650/http://classcounsel.com/news/audi.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>

This was accomplished by using a B5 [[Audi RS 4|RS4]] donor car, which included engine, transmission, rear differential, axles, brakes, and wheels from a B5 Avant. Using the RS4 drivetrain, Audi had the ability to utilize a [[Torsen]] based 6-speed Quattro manual transmission in a car that is normally using a transverse engine layout and Haldex based all wheel drive system.

As of 2010, the TT-RS is available with the 7-speed [[Direct-Shift Gearbox|DSG]] automatic transmission capable of handling the torque delivered by the engine. The 6-speed gearbox used in the TT-S cannot cope with {{cvt|450|Nm|lbft|0}} of torque, which is why the TT-RS initially was offered only with a manual transmission.
 
The car went on sale in March 2009, with delivery beginning in summer.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.autoblog.com/2009/03/03/geneva-2009-2010-audi-tt-rs/|title=Geneva 2009: 2010 Audi TT RS|publisher=Autoblog.com}}</ref>
