Some Interesting Audi TT (8J) Facts
Built on the Volkswagen Group A5 Platform – The 8J Audi TT shared its platform with the Volkswagen Golf Mk5, Audi A3, and Volkswagen Passat, but featured a unique aluminum-intensive body for better performance.
First TT with Audi’s Magnetic Ride Suspension – The Audi TT 8J introduced Audi Magnetic Ride, an adaptive suspension system that adjusts in real-time, offering both comfort and sporty handling.
Offered in Coupe and Roadster Versions – Like its predecessor, the 8J TT was available in both a hardtop coupe and a soft-top roadster, giving buyers the option of an open-air experience.
First TT with an S Model – The TTS – The Audi TTS, introduced in 2008, featured a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine producing 272 hp, making it the first high-performance TT model before the TT RS.
The TT RS Brought a Legendary 5-Cylinder Engine – The TT RS, launched in 2009, featured a 2.5-liter turbocharged 5-cylinder engine, producing up to 360 hp, making it one of the most powerful TTs ever.
Lighter Than Its Predecessor – Thanks to Audi’s aluminum "ASF" (Audi Space Frame) construction, the 8J TT was lighter than the first-gen TT, improving handling and efficiency.
S-Tronic Dual-Clutch Transmission Introduced – The 8J TT was the first TT to offer Audi’s S-Tronic dual-clutch transmission, providing faster gear changes and improved fuel economy over traditional automatics.
Quattro All-Wheel Drive Available on Higher Trims – While base models came with front-wheel drive, the TTS and TT RS featured Audi’s Quattro AWD system, enhancing grip and handling in all weather conditions.
TT RS Plus – The Most Powerful Version – The TT RS Plus (2012-2013) increased power to 360 hp (up from 335 hp in the standard TT RS), dropping 0-100 km/h time to just 4.1 seconds, making it the fastest 8J TT ever produced.
Replaced by the Third-Gen TT (8S) in 2014 – After an 8-year production run, the 8J TT was replaced by the 8S TT, featuring a more angular design, Virtual Cockpit, and further weight reduction.
