The Audi Tt Story

Rating:
Summary: Excellent "biography" of an excellent car
Review: It's interesting to see the gestation of any successful design project. How it was made; what inspired it; what didn't make it; who was behind the scenes. "The TT Book" is fantastic look at evolution of a design concept, and concisely tells how a small focused team of designers and technicians can turn a great concept into a great reality.

The best feature of the book by far is the photography. Included are several shots of the early prototypes and the show cars, as well as the final coupe and roadster production models. And the final section of the book is a series of promotional photos taken in Iceland. Putting a striking car like the TT in that otherworldly environment was truly a masterstroke.

On the flipside, the book does bog down somewhat in the technical details. But, as a "biography" of the TT concept, it does make "The TT Book" a truly complete work.

Review: The Audi TT story is one of inspiration and fascination. The book gives the reader a look at the creativity and innovation that went in the design and production of the TT.

I particularly enjoyed the wonderful technical detail, which is so eloquently described and an important part in understanding the TT. The TT Book was wonderfully written and adorned with some of the best automotive photography ever published. I give it my highest rating!
