The Audi TT Coupé was first launched in 1998 and has undergone two further makeovers since then and we have based our model on the latest, third generation of the marque, upgraded in 2014 and still in Audi production today.
Designed by Dany Garand and team, the real life TT came as a 2-door coupé, 3-door hatchback or 2-door roadster. With front wheel drive and front engine, dual clutch 6-speed direct shift gear box, it also featured many other top grade VW components, The Oxford model is based on the 2-door coupé which came with an engine option of either TDI, similar to the 7th generation VW Golf or the TFSI – our choice. Other progressive features which define the latest variant included unique interior temperature and airflow controls embedded in the air vents to improve ergonomics.
Against this impressive pedigree, we turn to our newly tooled 1:76 scale version, which is registered NU16 WGO, from two years into production. We unveil our TT with its distinctive sloping back, in sparkling white with black interior and lots of silver trim, including the authentic wheels. On the rear, you can see the TT lettering to the left of the Audi ‘signature’ rings, while to the right the TFSI lettering denotes the engine option. The wide front grille is finished in black with silver surround and on the front of the sloping bonnet the Audi badge features again.
