The third-generation Audi TT, known by its internal code 8S, was launched in 2014 and continued Audi's tradition of a compact, elegant, and sporty coupé. Based on the Volkswagen Group's MQB platform, it shares its foundations with models like the Golf 7 and A3 8V, giving it a solid and proven technical base.
