Default Remember this rendering?

I kinda liked it, but we now know it will not look like this.

Anyway, there's that retractable spoiler.

I *think* I can almost make out the lines of it in these photos, especially on the roadster. That is unless I *want* to see it.

Default Just trying to reverse engineer Audi's thinking on the new TT. :)

Default I honestly see many similarities in those images...

the line along the lower door sill runs the length of the car in the spy photo and some other difference but not too far off..

I see the spoiler too in the rdstr :-)

I agree - thought it was impressively accurate for how long ago it came out

Default I believe now as I believed then that those renderings were produced by Audi....

...or a design house directed by Audi to solicit comment and feedback to help shape the new TT.

Default I liked that rendering as it had some tense, strong lines and looked aggressive.

The new TT that we are seeing seems to have compromised aggressive for the sake of trying to remain true to the original TT design. I kinda wish they took the more aggressive design approach... but we'll see.

Hey Rob, you up for meeting up at the NY Auto Show in April? I'm hoping the new TT will be there!

Default Another thing is that the side skirts are covered up with camo too and will have

the actual design is just like the concept which will improve the "swoosh" look on the side.
