In a world of emission laws, safety laws and the law of consumerism in a designer age, trying to be radically different usually results in bankruptcy. That may explain why all mini- vans look alike and we have more front-drive V6 luxury sedans to choose from in 1999 than economy cars. He who follows the herd sells cars. If you don't build a vehicle that stands up well in the focus groups, you might as well forget it. So how do you explain the Audi TT? It looks like a silvery turtle shell and is just about as hard to get into. It is a triumph of design over the bean coun­ ters. The genus of the TT comes from the pre-war "Silver Arrows" era when Audi (an amalgamation of four German car makers thus the four rings) built a no-compromises racing car that was radically different from the norm as exemplified by the Mercedes-Benz no-compromise racers that were front engined with rear drive. The Audi was mid-engined and it used the radical (this is the last time, I promise) swing axle suspension designed by Dr. Ferdinand Porsche who is still seen as creating the automotive DNA from which sprang Porsche, VW, and of course, Audi, in 1948. The shape based on a series of wheel-shaped circles from the pure round cutouts for the wheels, to the fenders to the roofline. To make the form as pure as possible in the Bauhaus tradition, nothing is allowed to clutter the exterior unless is it absolutely need­ ed. The various lights are all encased in JIM ROBINSON windcheating panels while wonderful retro cues like the metal surround with exposed Allen screws for the fill cap make it look like it just came off Nuvolari's C-Type Silver Arrow. Inside you won't find plastic seats and warming wood trim. It's all black leather, brushed aluminum and glistening chrome. This is the concept of having only what's necessary.

Leading-edge materials, many chosen for their tactile quality, abound. Touch the large, brushed aluminum panel on the dash and it swings up to reveal a super-tech looking sound/ventilation system control module. The shifter .is capped by an all-aluminum knob, dim­ pled like a golf ball. The ring surrounds on the air vents are dimpled too, and swing through an arc to increase/restrict air flow. The seats are very seriously bolstered and infinitely adjustable. You're going to need those seats too because power comes from Audi's proven 20-valve, 180 hp tumbocharged and intercooled inline four that starts delivering its 173 ft/lb of torque as low as 1950 rpm. The only transmission is a five-speed manual. Tested here is the next step, the TT with Audi's superla­ tive Quattro drive system. If there is a better AWD configuration in the world, please show it to me. The TT is 159.1 inches (4041 mm) long with a wheelbase of 95.4 inches (2422 mm) making overhang nearly non-existent. The wheels are pushed out at the four comers to 60 inches front/59.5 inches rear. Next the metal skin is stretched over the chassis like latex. The unusually low roof and the rest of the elliptical lines make this an extremely slippery shape. Even the bot­ tom of the car has been optimized for air flow. The Quattro will move from rest-80 kmh in 5.5 seconds and 0-100 kmh in only 7.4 kmh. This car is, for other than enjoying pure motoring, totally impracticable. You can't take the team to hockey prac­ tice, heck a stick won't even fit in the hatchback trunk. It could be used for a car pool of only two. And with a turbo and a five-speed, being a "five-star" is a must with the insurance man. Having said that, making a state­ ment is only worthwhile if there are those ready to take it all in. Audi says the TT is just the harbinger of a whole line of sports cars to come. If we think the TT is radical, then the future will be downright outrageous. And even as the first of its breed, the TT will never be a car for everyone, but for those few who want a vehicle that makes no compromises and no apolo­ gies, the Audi TT Quattro is it. 95 H !
