Audi are one of the most underrated premium European car manufacturers out there. This page is all about showing the 2008 Audi models for their true value. Innovation through Technology!

The Audi Company 

Audi, the Latin word for "listen" is owned by Volkswagen in Germany and started their campaign in the US in 1970 with a strong presence in touring car racing. The racing focus has continued to provide a breeding ground for new technologies in performance and safety. One of the great success stories of Audi is the race-bred quattro® all-wheel-drive system which was first developed on Audi's rally cars in 1980, also named "Quattro". The quattro system is still featured as an option in most of the Audi lineup. In recent years Audi has attempted to move more into the mainstream with their highly successful range of premium cars, the A3, A5 and Q5, while still featuring the ever-sporty TT Roadster as well as the new R8 performance sports car.

Audi TT 2008 

The TT is the quintessential sports car with all the power and style that we have come to expect from Audi in its "athletic minimalism" package. The 2008 TT features the widely-acclaimed "S-Tronic" automatic manual gear box that can change gears at the lightening speed of 0.2 second and offers immaculate handling to boot. When introduced in 1999, the TT's body styling was revolutionary, and even now nine years later it remains classic with a bit of freshening up this year to keep it modern.

What's new
Some new designing on the exterior and interior which don't change much but keep it stylish. It is a bit wider and a bit longer which enhances the cargo area.

Performance
3.2-liter V6 engine that produces 250hp and 236lb-ft of torque available at just 1,800rpm.
0-60mph in 6 seconds
Quattro all-wheel-drive system to give smooth as silk cornering ability.
17-inch allow wheels.
S-tronic automated manual gearbox for performance driving in automatic or paddle-shift mode.
Magnetic ride suspension for sport-style damping, with a switch for Standard mode.
Servotronic variable assist power steering for responsiveness.

Fuel Economy
18/25mpg city/highway driving.

Interior
New minimalist styling
4-seater, but space only for the smallest of kids in the back.
Impressive cargo space, enough for two suitcases or a set of golf clubs.
9-speaker audio system plus satellite radio.
Automatic climate control.
Optional nappa leather seats.
Unpopular and impractical iPod interface.

Safety
Front dual threshold, front knee and front seat-mounted side impacting airbags.
4-wheel anti-locking brakes and rear brakeforce distribution.
Side intrusion door beams
LATCH (lower anchors and tethers for children)

Wikipedia 

AUDI AG (Xetra: NSU) is a German company which produces cars under the Audi brand, . It is part of the Volkswagen Group. The name Audi is based on a Latin translation of the surname of the founder August Horch, itself the German word for ?listen!"

Audi is headquartered in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany.

It has been a wholly-owned (99.55%) subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group (Volkswagen AG) since 1964. Volkswagen Group relaunched the Audi brand with the 1965 introduction of the Audi 60/72/75/80/Super 90 range (sold in certain export markets simply as the "Audi") shortly after the name was acquired as part of Volkswagen's purchase of the Auto Union assets from former owner, Daimler-Benz.
