Los Angeles Auto Show hosted the new Audi TT Roadster. This car it takes a lot of visual elements of the old generation preserving the strength of the model replaced and they added something new especially when we talk about performance and dynamism.

The body of the new TT Roadster is built from aluminum and the rest is steel. This great combination with the right proportions gives the vehicle a low mass.The basic version engine is about 1295 kg, and top wheel drive version 1470 kg. The appearance of the first generation is kept straight and the midline of the back of the car. The two areas create a dynamic, which are accentuated wheel arches.

The interior is dominated by a sporty profile given by the two seats, special steering wheel shaped, flattened at the bottom, similar to the R8, but also by the aluminum pedals that can not be absent from the repertoire of a car with sporting pretensions.

Tubular lights have reflectors that appear to be suspended inside and exhaust pipe with rear speaker is forming an image that draws power. Just like Coupe version, TT Roadster has an electrically powered spoiler that rises automatically at speeds bigger than 120 km/h and down force is increasing it gives a higher dynamic behavior.

The success and popularity of the TT gives many designers the freedom to experiment and play more easily with different forms and make more beautiful designs. Audi TT Roadster influences can be seen in many design elements of many vehicles released after. This car has made the people to throw a second look at Audi because now it’s no longer a second league producer in Europe and became a serious competitor to BMW and Merces-Benz.
