The styling of the Audi TT began in the spring of 1994 at the Volkswagen Group Design Center in California.[1] The TT was first shown as a concept car at the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show.[2] The design is credited to J Mays and Freeman Thomas, with Hartmut Warkuss, Peter Schreyer,[3] Martin Smith and Romulus Rostcontributing to the award-winning interior design.
A previously unused laser beam welding adaptation, which enabled seamless design features on the first-generation TT, delayed its introduction. Audi did not initially offer any type of automatic transmission option for the TT. However, from 2003, a dual clutch six-speed Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG) became available, with the United Kingdom TT variants becoming the world's first user of a dual clutch transmission configured for a right-hand drive vehicle, although the outright world first for a road car equipped with a dual clutch transmission was claimed earlier by a Volkswagen Group platform-mate, the left hand drive Volkswagen Golf Mk4 R32
