Some Interesting Audi TT (8J) Facts

- 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.
