The '''Audi TT''' is a production front-engine, 2-door, [[2+2 (car body style)|2+2]] sports [[coupé]] and [[Roadster (automobile)|roadster]], manufactured and marketed by [[Audi]] from 1998 to 2023 across three generations.

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.

===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 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.

According to Audi Head of Design Marc Lichte, the curved outline and rounded bodywork of the Mk1 TT's design was inspired by Bauhaus.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Timeless Icon: Exclusive Audi TT RS Coupé iconic edition celebrates innovative design and dynamics Domain name: audi-mediacenter.com |url=https://www.audi-mediacenter.com/en/press-releases/timeless-icon-exclusive-audi-tt-rs-coupe-iconic-edition-celebrates-innovative-design-and-dynamics-14945 |access-date=10 April 2022 |website=audi-mediacenter.com |publisher=[[Audi AG]]}}</ref> This simplified curved shape was unusual at the time.

However, the TT was involved in a number of high-speed accidents which were attributed to aerodynamic instability at high speeds. To solve these issues, Audi added modified control arms and firmer shock absorbers on both the front and rear suspension as well as a rear spoiler.<ref name="carsdesk.com" /
===TT quattro Sport{{anchor|TTqS}}===
In 2005, Audi released the Coupé-only limited edition.
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.

===Lawsuits===
In June 2007, a class action lawsuit was filed against [[Volkswagen Group of America]], alleging the [[timing belt (camshaft)|timing belts]] for [[model year]] 1999–2003 Audi and Volkswagen vehicles equipped with a 1.8-litre turbocharged engine failed prematurely.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.timingbeltsettlement.com/pdfs/Settlement.pdf |title= TimingBeltSettlement.com |access-date= 2 January 2009 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090206082622/http://timingbeltsettlement.com/pdfs/Settlement.pdf |archive-date= 6 February 2009 |url-status = dead }}</ref> The complaint alleged that the timing belts failed prior to the owner's manual's service interval. The parties reached a class-wide settlement, with preliminary approval of the settlement granted in May 2008.
In May 2008, a class action suit reached a nationwide settlement regarding allegedly defective instrument clusters on 2000–2004, and 2005 model year Audi TTs. Owners were entitled to submit claims for repairs, replacement and/or cash reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses and received a two-year instrument cluster warranty extension.<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.

In 2023, Audi unveiled the Final Edition of the TT, coinciding with the discontinuation of the TT due to declining sales of the two-door coupé segment. The Final Edition TTs feature black exterior accents consisting of the tailpipes, badges and rings, door mirrors, and fixed spoiler. The roadster is equipped with black roll bars and a black wind diffuser, while the coupé receives privacy glass. The TT Final Edition receives 20-inch, Y-style five spoke matte grey finished wheels with red brake calipers, while the TT S Final Edition is fitted with seven spoke black alloy wheels of Audi Sport. Both body styles are available in either Chronos Grey Metallic, Glacier White, or Tango Red body colors.
On the interior, the Final Edition is equipped with the extended leather package, which adds the material to the center console trim, armrests, and door pull handles. A red stitched [[Alcantara (material)|Alcantara]] steering wheel is fitted, with a 12 o'clock marker unique to the Final Edition.
