Last week we learned Audi plans to kill off its TT coupe and convertible in the relatively near future. Internal combustion will be out and full-on electrification will be in. Perhaps its future successor will still bear the TT nameplate, only with an all-electric powertrain. But let’s not shed too many tears because the TT is still with us today. Enjoy it while we can. And perhaps one of the best ways to do so is with this wonderfully crazy one-off TT Safari, which is making its debut at the annual Wörthersee show in Austria.
Beginning with a regular TT coupe, a group of Audi trainees is responsible for the end result. That’s right. Audi’s next generation of employees have a wild side.
Aside from some images posted to Facebook and Instagram, no details have been given as to what’s under the hood, but how awesome would it be if the team used the 2.5-liter turbocharged TFSI five-cylinder from the TT RS. That’d be a total of nearly 400 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque.
