Audi Releases Updates TT for 2019… We Think

Audi seems pretty confident that they’ve updated the TT for 2019, but they’ve been taking too many notes from Porsche here, because we can hardly see any differences.

As best as we can tell, the major visual updates include a honeycomb grille where the old one was straight lines across; single-frame grilles only; and the TT RS’s side skirts on non RS models.

Again, though, we welcome any help because we haven’t focused so hard on spotting the differences since grade school.

Under the hood, though, Audi is promising some changes you’ll feel (Well, not you, but Europeans. We’ll update you when we get the US-spec changes). The TT will come in three trims and the TT S.

The TT 40 TFSI (197 hp, 326 lb-ft), the 45 TFSI (245 hp, 272 lb-ft), and the 45 TFSI quattro (245 hp, 272 lb-ft, but to all four wheels). The TTS, meanwhile, gets 306 hp and 295 lb-ft. All will be powered by the same 2.0-liter four-pot at different levels of tune.

The TT will also offer three new colors: cosmos blue, pulse orange, and turbo blue (but that one will only be available on the S line).

Oh, and hey, guess what: it’s been 20 years since the first TT debuted, so Audi is releasing two special editions to celebrate.

The first, the “Audi TT 20 years” will be limited to 999 and features design cues from the 1995 Roadster concept. These include arrow gray paint, stainless steel pipes, unique badges, as well as Matrix OLED tail lights and glossy gray 19-inch wheels.

The second is the TT S line competition and also an annoying mouthful. The TT s line competition builds off the TT S line exterior package and adds a sport screen in the virtual cockpit and contrasting stitching.

Europeans will be able to find the new TT in dealerships in the fourth quarter of 2018, with order books opening in September.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

T-Prime Makes World Premiere at Beijing

[ See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com ] The SUV segment is one of the fastest growing segments in the world and Volkswagen is showing the world how to do it. With the new T-Prime Concept GTE that was revealed today, the company is showing off all of the technology you can look for in its coming models. The T-Prime is a full-size hybrid SUV that can go up to 31 miles on a charge and gets 87 mpg. The hybrid power station is good for 375 hp and 516 lb/ft of torque and puts the power down with 4MOTION all wheel drive. It’ll get you up to 60 in six seconds. The concept’s real party piece, though, is its interior, which features exclusively touch, gesture, and voice controls. Everything from the infotainment, to the display, and even the gears are controlled by touch-screen. The T-Prime Concept GTE is bigger than the Touareg, and design elements are likely to find their way into all of their SUVs, of which there will be many. Volkswagen is also announcing that they expect to make an S...

Watch: The Transport Does a Whole Hell of a lot More than Transport

Petrolicious doesn’t only feature million-dollar classics, it also features the more generally neat, like this 1996 T4 Transporter that became Instagram famous and started and is starting an empire. Callum Creaser’s T4 started life as a panel van, but over the years it has become a homebrew camper van that has gone on adventures around the world. After posting about his adventures to Instagram, the diesel van gained a following and launched The Rolling Home, a series about other people’s small spaces and homey cars. Based on a 1.4-liter diesel with no ECU, Callum says his T4 is easy as pie to work on since information is widely available from sources like ours.
