Whether you love it or hate it, we should all be a bit sad to see the end of the Audi TT. We bid it farewell 🫡
We’re accustomed these days to a car inducing the kind of flagrant love/hate response that would previously only have applied to a jar of Marmite. Yet even allowing for the instincts of a swipe left/right culture,did a good job of cleaving anecdotal impressions neatly in two last months. In the PH office, its addenda-happy styling pack - as forthright as LEDs on your trainers - was universally derided.
The R8 is often cited as the standout example of this remarkable feat because it succeeded where many had previously failed in taking a notable bite out of Porsche’s customer base. But that perception rather leaves aside the fact that it was a genuinely remarkable car in its own right.
True enough, Audi’s attempt to sweep all infotainment functions into the instrument cluster never qualified as a resounding success. Multiple control surfaces hardly make it intuitive to use, and, because of its comparative lack of scale, important information is too often downgraded or jettisoned entirely.
The mistake, of course, was to ever assume that it would. Porsche and Alpine deliberately furnished their two-seat sports cars with purpose-built mid-engine, rear-drive architecture. Inevitably they enjoy an advantage over the front-engine, one-size-fits-all platform that has always underpinned the TT. For the R8, the state-of-the-art Audi Space Frame was created; for the TT, it simply made do.
