    TT EV would be really cool. Love the looks of the TT, always have done. Very handy for me personally to have the extra seats too.

    Owned a '99 for a while, but the quattro system was a bit soulless to drive and I didn't like the turbo lag, so I replaced it with a Boxster.

    It more and more looks like the 2018 really was the peak ICE year as some experts have predicted.

    Surely a TT EV is a no brainer down the line.

    Looks like we could see one in a couple of years.

    Sure hope so. Was close a nearly new beautiful TT the other day and then the owner started the engine. Sounded like a sack of spanners. 4 pot diesel. Pathetic. We have truly sunk very deeply to have diesel sports cars :mad:

    Title should read casualty!

    According to Bloomberg Audi are discontinuing the TT and possibly A8, to focus on electric. They've ambitious plans to have 5 full EVs (and 7 Phevs) on the market within 2 years!

    Source bloomberg:
    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-05-23/audi-may-turn-flagship-a8-sedan-electric-to-cull-iconic-tt

    Looks like they plan to build an electric A8 and an replace the TT with a electric car, maybe they might call it the e-TTron!! But it looks like the R8 is in trouble, as they plan to discontinue it.

    The interesting part of the article for me is "Audi plans to launch five fully-electric and seven plug-in hybrid models within the next two years." So we have the current e-tron already, so what others cars are in the pipeline for full electric within two years? There's a planned Chinese Q2L e-tron so that could be one and maybe the e-tron GT, that other cars are coming?!

    Tony Stark was driving an e-tron concept that looked a lot like that in the latest Avengers film :o

    Would guess they might use the new VAG MEB platform ( VW ID, seat el-born, skoda Vision iv) to build an A3/ A4 type car and a Q3 style SUV?

    Considering the TT is based on the VW Golf, not too far to imagine the lineage.
