Your Audi TT comes from the renowned stable that made the famous world-beating Silver Arrow racers of the 1930s and the legendary Quattro rally car of the 80s.
Unfortunately, this pedigree will not prevent a ding to your windscreen on a gravel-strewn road.
Car glass damage is an irritating and potentially costly fact of life… and very common.
Let us consider the reasons for car glass damage, how to prevent these incidents, and how to handle repairs or replacements.
NEW AUDI TT WINDSCREEN
Why is the Audi TT a good car?
The Audi TT’s popularity stems from its everyday sports car appeal and affordability.
Compared to the type’s main rivals (the BMW M Series or the Porsche Boxster and Cayman), the TT won’t break the bank.
August Horch (a mechanical engineer) founded August Horch & Cie., building two and four-cylinder cars. In 1909, he left the company, started another and translated the name Horch into Latin — Audi became the new company’s name.
Audi manufactures the two-door TT in Hungary, and the vehicles share the Audi A4 platform.
Its engine sits transversely in the front and drives either the front wheels or all four (in the Quattro models).
The exciting little sports car’s name comes from the Isle of Man TT (Tourist Trophy motorcycle race). The Audi forerunners (DKW and NSU) successfully participated in the famous race over 100 years ago — with motorcycles!
The most potent TT RS version generates 294 kW and, with a 7-speed S Tronic gearbox, is an exhilarating machine.
