Well hello everybody and welcome back to the channel and to my beloved very cheap Copa Audi TT. And today as you can see from the title we're going to be showing five things that I bet you didn't know about these Mark 1 TTs. Now very quickly if you didn't see my last video which came out on Sunday I took a very different type of Audi completely the opposite end of the spectrum to Germany. It was an Audi RS Q8 111 grand worth and I drove it there for the N24 endurance race and other nerve-riding. It was incredible you should check out the video if you haven't already and if you're one of my 75% of regular viewers that not subscribed to the channel I encourage you to do so now because the next video is also going to feature an extremely special car. If you're one of the people that follow me on Instagram you'll have seen what it is and it might be let's just say well it's a rain trover. So the first thing on today's list that I bet you didn't know about the model on TT is that well you see them now all the time with these spoilers from factory. That's what the car came with however in the first model year I think back in 99 there was a series of high speed accidents and fatalities with these TTs especially on places like the D-restricted German Autobahn were at high speeds they were going off the road because apparently they were very unstable. So there was a mass recall done on all of these TTs that had been produced up to that point and they went back and had these spoilers put on and then subsequently the models that came out also had these spoilers and as standard the 3.2L V6 has an even bigger one I guess higher top speed more down force required but actually I didn't know that I didn't know that until literally the other day seeing an original Audi UK car that had no spoiler and a question why does mine have a spoiler? Well there you go that's why. Now the second thing that I bet you didn't know about these Audi TTs it's twofold really they did special editions of these cars and I actually found this out by mistake when looking through auto trainer it's what you seem to do when you become obsessed with a particular model of car you sort of look at all the other options available on auto trainer eBay Motors wherever else you can find them. I want to come across was one that had seats that looked like a baseball and that's because they literally did a baseball edition car and the seats were the color of a baseball and they had very thick stitching akin to what you might find by an actual baseball which is very funny not many of them around I'm not sure the exact production numbers but there weren't a lot however they did also do a sport edition and they didn't make very many of them you can easy notes them by the black roof but essentially what they did with these is they took the 1.8 the 225 and they upped it 240 horsepower they also managed to lose 50 kilograms via removing the rear seats you could get the car oh bucket seats in there there was a brace bar installed but they also removed the spare wheel and the parcel shell from the back another thing they did as well was move the battery to the back for better sort of balance but they're quite rare they're quite expensive now if you look at them online then you can get one from much less than 10k I've certainly never seen one yeah I didn't know until research of this video that they made such a thing make sure you comment below whether you're looking at me going shut up Joel I knew all of these things or if you are learning something new from this video do comment below and let me know. Including inside the car then for the third and I have to say my favorite thing on this list well it's a sunny evening I just drove over here now and I needed my sun visor down of course there's one on the passenger side as well if you ever feel the need to put that down for a bit of extra protection but what you may not know and I'm counting on the fact that you don't hear is there's actually a third one it's right here now the only other place I've ever seen one of these is on a 955 or first generation Porsche Cayenne and I thought it was quirky on that but then it was an SUV so it kind of made sense I mean Range Rovers have two visors on each side but not on this dinky Audi TT surely but no it does have a third and tiny sun visor it's exactly the same size more or less is one of those 15 centimetre rulers you used to have at school but what it does is blocks the light for that sort of distance between the top of the rear view mirror and this bit of glass above it I can't really see the point I don't know why they put it in but it's attention to detail isn't it and I think those sorts of attention to detail points are the reason we love these Mark 1 TTs moving into the back of the TT then which is something I don't ever recommend doing if you're a grown adult like me we're going to show you the fourth point on the list so point number four is not actually the fact that you would have to decapitate yourself to sit back here actually I've never why an earth did they put rear seats this is this is worse than it's worse than a Porsche 911 and it's awful anyway the point back here and it's pretty pointless really because I don't think you'd ever use them but it's hidden storage on the sides here here and here we have these two little plastic compartments which reveal pretty deep pockets you can fit sort of a one liter water bottle in there now this one has a first aid symbol and I think that might have originally housed the first aid kit but this one's empty and carpeted and you could get you know you could put a phone in there you wallet quite a few things maybe it's a pretty good place if you're leaving I don't know anything high value or snatchable in the car this would be a really cool little place to hide them but by the off chance you have an empty tea friend or maybe just very young children and they're in the back and they need to store their iPhones and they've got somewhere to do it it's a bit of a far fetch one this but something you may not have known about now the fifth and final thing I dare say that you didn't know about with these Audi TTs is what you're going to kick yourself for if you didn't because once you know about it it's painfully obvious and it's all over the car as well when the designers are Audi came up with the TT of course they designed it to be beautiful pretty and different to anything before but they also wanted it to have a uniform and hints of design language throughout the car starting with the petrol philicap you'll notice that there's these seven holes around the circumference of it and this isn't the only place you'll see that they're on the wheels they're on the door handles twice because there's one here as well you can see them also around the Audi badge on the steering wheel they're around the gear lever housing and around the actual knob itself they're on all of the air vents and they even carry through to the heated seat switches and the air conditioning switches with the holes around the outside another place I bet you hadn't spotted them was on the centre of the needles on the instrument cluster there there there on every single needle we have the same holes around the circumference and I think that just about does it there may even be more of those that I've missed to be totally honest with you but I think that fifth and final point really sums up the charm of these cars so much thought and attention to detail was put into these and I think that's why they've aged tremendously well they're a unique design and they're not trying to be anything they're not so I hope you found that video helpful do comment below if you've learned anything if I'm a complete moron and you knew absolutely everything I'm sorry I probably look completely naive but by the off-chance there is one of you out there that didn't know one of the things I talked about and for me this video is very much worth making now if you're still watching now and you didn't subscribe at the start of the video and you're still not subscribed please make sure to subscribe to the channel as I mentioned the next video coming the channel is featuring well a brand new range rubber which I cannot wait to show you and then after that there's going to be more Audi TT content and if you're still following it some stuff with my S-type Jag 2 so make sure you don't miss any of that by subscribing to the channel leave this video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it and I'll see you all very very soon
