Audi stops production of TT/TTS
- Audi announced that it would stop manufacturing TT/TTS coupés and convertibles in 2021. These sporty C-segment models, based on the Volkswagen Golf and Audi A3 platform, are no longer as successful as in previous years, due to the shift of customers to SUVs in all markets and the announcement of the technological breakthrough that will result from the large-scale marketing of electric models around the world.
- Within the Volkswagen group alone, it is expected that one million electric cars will be sold per year between 2025 and 2030. Of this total, electric Audis will represent a significant quantity, but for the moment the manufacturer has not announced how many different vehicles it intends to launch in this category.
- The Volkswagen brand had already removed its Sirocco coupe from its catalogue in 2018. Between 2008 and 2018, 276,000 copies had been produced. Audi TT/TTS coupés and convertibles sold much more than the Volkswagen Scirocco coupe, selling 680,000 units between 1998 and 2018, with a peak of 57,000 units in 2007. However, sales collapsed between 2015 and 2018, from 38,000 to 18,000 units over this period.
- These Audi TT/TTS models have been manufactured at the Gyor site in Hungary since the beginning .Their manufacture should be stopped in two years. Their replacement is not planned, but Audi reports that an electric model, probably an SUV, would be produced on Gyor's assembly lines in the early 2020s.
