Audi is all set to reveal a TT-inspired new sports car concept later today. But just moments before that, several images of the radical prototype have leaked online, giving an early look at what to expect. The German marque will be showcasing its much-awaited concept at the Munich motor show (or IAA Mobility 2025) next week.
- The TT concept has a grand tourer-like long bonnet, sloping roofline
- Smooth body panels have been extensively used for the exterior
- Huge wheels have an aero-optimised design
New Audi TT concept exterior and interior design
Slim headlights, coupe-like roofline
The rectangular grille with the Audi ring logo at the front looks very similar to that on the third-generation Audi A6 (C6), which is flanked by a pair of slim headlights and large air intakes, which may hint at the car’s performance-focused billing. The fenders flare out, adding some muscle to the otherwise smooth surfaces, and the bonnet has subtle contours on the edges.
In profile, the Audi concept has a smooth design that’s mostly devoid of body lines; not even the door handles are visible. The long bonnet leans heavily towards a grand-tourer-like design, while the two-door coupe’s fastback roofline and a covered rear quarter glass section remind of the Audi R8. Oversized wheels have an aero-optimised design, and wear low-profile tyres. Slim tail-lights are also visbile in the profile shot. When seen from the top, one can also spot fin-like vents towards the back, seen on some rear-engined cars. Horizontal lines on the roof could suggest that this could spawn a convertible car (Spyder in Audi speak).
New steering wheel with buttons
As for its interior, a single image reveals a new steering wheel with buttons and rotary dial controls, likely to switch between drive modes. Metal finished door handles look inspired by the German Bauhaus art movement, known to have influenced the original TT. Controls on the door, most probably for operating the windows, are present, too.
Minimalist design could be used across Audi’s line-up
Audi TT concept previews a minimalist design language
Massimo Frascella, chief creative officer at Audi, posted a video of the 2025 Audi TT concept on Instagram with the caption, “StriveForClarity”. The clip says “the legends of yesterday are the blueprint for tomorrow”, while showing the previous TT, the 1991 Avus concept and 1930s Auto Union Grand Prix cars.
This could set the tone for a new minimalist design language that could be rolled out across Audi’s line-up under Frascella’s leadership, Autocar UK reported. The publication had earlier stated that the concept will preview an all-new design language for Audi.
