These dimensions apply to the coupe model; the roadster variant has a slightly lower height of 1342 mm (52.8 in).

What materials are used in the Audi TT's body construction?

The Audi TT features a hybrid construction combining aluminum and steel. The front structure, including the hood and fenders, is made of aluminum to reduce weight, while the rear section and roof (on the coupe) are constructed from high-strength steel for rigidity and safety. The roadster variant includes additional reinforcements to compensate for the lack of a fixed roof.

What is the drag coefficient of the Audi TT?

The 2006-2014 Audi TT has a drag coefficient (Cd) of 0.30 for the coupe and 0.32 for the roadster. This aerodynamic design contributes to improved fuel efficiency and stability at high speeds.

What is the curb weight of the Audi TT?

The curb weight of the 2006-2014 Audi TT varies by model and trim. For the base 2.0T coupe, the curb weight is approximately 1265 kg (2789 lbs), while the roadster weighs around 1295 kg (2855 lbs). The TT RS models are heavier due to additional performance components.

Does the Audi TT have a unibody or body-on-frame construction?

The Audi TT uses a unibody construction, which integrates the body and chassis into a single structure. This design enhances rigidity, improves handling, and reduces overall weight compared to traditional body-on-frame designs.

What is the ground clearance of the Audi TT?

The ground clearance of the 2006-2014 Audi TT is approximately 130 mm (5.1 in). This low clearance is optimized for performance and aerodynamics but may require caution on uneven surfaces.
