Notes

Mid-engined concept unveiled at the 1991 Frankfurt Motor Show, influential in previewing the TT's design language years before production. Only one running prototype was built (survives in the Audi Tradition collection) — cancelled in 1992 over production cost and internal concerns about competing with Porsche.
