“Both our product launches of 2015 - the limited edition Audi R8 LMX and the all-new

Audi TT Coupé have a strong sporty flair. This highlights Audi’s heritage in sportscars,

our leadership in this segment in India and our seriousness towards this ultra-

luxurious and indulgent market space. Having said this, we are gearing up with other

thrilling surprises on the product front and our Audi fans will surely be spoilt for

choices this year,” added Mr. King.

With the all-new Audi TT Coupé, the Audi designers have delivered a modern

interpretation of the unmistakable lines of the original Audi TT enriched with

numerous dynamic facets. Unveiled at the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show, the first-

generation Audi TT came to the market in 1998 and became a design revolution – it’s

strictly geometrical, formally coherent design language made it a design icon with

huge charisma. With the Audi Space Frame® technology, the second generation Audi

TT became known as an award-winning, agile and responsive drive and made a name

for itself as a design icon similar to its predecessor.
