HEADLINE: Audi TT "Open Sky" Concept Study;
A Perfect Symbiosis Between A Roadster And A Coupe
DATELINE: Sep 11, 2001; FRANKFURT; INTERNET WIRE
BODY:
At IAA 2001 in Frankfurt, Magna Steyr amazes visitors when it presents the attractive "Open Sky" concept study based on the Audi TT. This additional body top variant combines the characteristic features of a roadster with those of a coupe.
The Audi TT "Open Sky" concept study is an independent further development by Magna Steyr, and it is an additional proof of the Austro-American automotive supplier's styling, body top and prototype design know-how and creativity, ably supported by the group's recognized complete vehicle competence. The reasons why the development engineers of the Magna Steyr Engineering Center in Graz decided to base their concept study, which perfectly captures the spirit of the time, on the Audi TT, are simple: they know the Audi TT inside out. After all, the production-fit development of the TT Coupe and the TT Roadster on behalf of Audi AG was their achievement. The main feature of the "Open Sky" concept exhibited in Frankfurt is an easily removable top consisting of two halves made of glass fiber composite.
Asophisticated device guarantees that both roof halves, once removed, can be fitted quickly and easily in the boot. At the push of a button, the device activates the roof halves; a further push of the button lets them disappear in the recess.
The "Open Sky" variant is not just a roadster and a coupe combination in terms of appearance and functionality - it is just that in every other respect, too. To develop the body structure, the front end, the floor, the A-pillar and the doorsill of the TT Roadster - duly adapted and modified - were combined with the rear of the TT Coupe. A new feature is the internal B-pillar - invisible from the outside - in the front part of the triangular side window, which is also part of the integrated rollover bar.
In a nutshell, the "Open Sky" concept offers the sheer driving pleasure of a roadster without compromising the unrestricted winter capability of a closed body top.
