It garnered so many accolades at Germany's prestigious Frankfurt Auto Show in 1995, the company decided to put it into production almost unchanged.
Most concept cars end up vastly different in appearance from the vehicle sitting on display.
The production TT of today, however, looks very close to the show car of 1995, the most noticeable difference being the addition of rear quarter windows, a move that no doubt improved visibility, and the enlarged air intake openings below the front bumper. The front and rear styling is unmistakably Audi. The front and rear overhangs are very short, and the body seems literally stretched over the visually-dominant wheels. The aluminum fuel filler cover is attached with genuine Allen screws, a motif that continues inside. The TT's interior is made for spirited driving.
