Yahoo Autos Electric Audi TT replacement reportedly coming in 5-10 years
The Audi TT retired after three generations in 2023; it was sent off with a Final Edition model. While we won't see a fourth-generation TT in the near future, the German brand is reportedly looking at ways to fill the model's gap in the coming years with an electric sports car.
Daniel Schuster, a spokesperson for Audi's technical development department, told British magazine Autocar that the company is debating what the TT's successor will look like. "We are taking a blank sheet of paper to see what is the right 'icon.' It's not just about looking at what we have now and saying, 'it'd be cool to make it electric.' It's really about what would be a great addition to the range," he explained.
Audi is taking this project seriously, it wants to keep past and current TT owners in the fold, and it has plenty of time to decide what the TT's successor will look like; the car is tentatively scheduled to arrive "within five or 10 years." It won't be called TT, a decision which seemingly suggests the model will break with its predecessors in several ways. Regardless of what it's called or what it looks like, Audi is preparing an "emotional" car developed with driving enjoyment and performance in mind. This extends to the sound that the electric drivetrain will make.
