Considering how consumers may  frequently overlook Audi’s most affordable sports car, it’s remarkable that it remained in the automaker’s U.S. lineup for decades. Introduced for the 1999 model year, the original Audi TT had a distinctive, unmistakable style that set the tone for the car’s three-generation run. Coupes came with 2+2 seating and a hatch that opened wide to reveal a large cargo area. Roadsters were less practical, equipped with two seats and a small trunk. Performance-tuned TTS and TT RS variants surfaced during the car’s second-generation run, while third-generation Audi TT models showcased the company’s latest interior tech. Audi discontinued production after the 2023 model year.
