2000-2006 Audi TT: Year-to-Year Changes

2001 Audi TT: A two-passenger soft-top Roadster joined the original coupe in spring of 2000, as an early 2001 model. Also new were a standard Electronic Stability Program (ESP) to help prevent skidding, a rear spoiler, and a 225-horsepower rendition of the TT's turbocharged four-cylinder engine, driving a six-speed manual gearbox. Audi's Quattro all-wheel-drive system was standard on the Roadster and 225-horsepower coupe, and optional for the 180-bhp coupe. A power top was standard on the Quattro Roadster, but optional if the convertible had front drive. Both Roadsters had heated glass rear windows. A power-retractable glass windblocker went between the structural roll bars behind the headrests.

2002 Audi TT: Added midyear to mark Audi's participation in American LeMans Series racing were 1000 limited-production 225-hp ALMS coupes with 18-inch wheels and special trim. Also new for 2002 was a new radio with in-dash CD.

2003 Audi TT: Base models had a 6-speed automatic for the first time. Optional wheels on the 225-hosrepower model were now 18 inches.

2004 Audi TT: New for '04 is a 250-hp V6 engine standard on Audi's new V6 quattro TT, and now-standard xenon headlights. Also added mid-year was Audi's Direct Shift Gearbox, a clutchless manual that can be set to shift like an automatic.

2005 Audi TT: The TT saw no changes in 2005.

2006 Audi TT: Available satellite radio is the only change for 2006.
