Car Design News: PPI RS TT Coupe

PPI Automotive Design GmbH and Pogea Racing oHG announce RS Tuning for Audi TT coupe models

PPI Automotive Design GmbH presents the new PPI RS TT Coupe. This unique and exclusive coupe is a complete redesign, inside and out of the original Audi TT coupe. The PPI redesign refreshes and updates the complete look and performance of the coupe, creating a truly unique sports car. The car is the embodiment of our passion for Audi products, and a no-expense spared approach to producing the final product for immediate release to the tuning, automotive, and auto-enthusiast community.

PPI Exterior Design

Front Bumper features larger cold air openings for intercooler, while updating the look of the TT with a very bold statement of performance and design. The PPI grill enhances the look of the car optically as well, making the car appear wider and bolder. The lower air intakes are larger and now functional - providing cool air for brake system cooling. There are optional PPI inserts (available in carbon fiber or body color) that allow for the placement of lower foglights or a direct channel for brake rotor and caliper cooling. The lower lip on the front bumper was designed to produce a wrap around airflow into the lower air channels, and prevent lift from the front while the car is at speed.

Rear Bumper provides a strikingly new and unique design. The complete replacement rear bumper features an integrated sports reflector (available in optional carbon fiber trim), and air channels located below the rear taillights that allows air to flow out from the wheel well arches, thereby reducing lift and increasing rear end stability. The air exiting through the channels are directed by carbon fiber inserts (which can also be painted body color).

Rear Spoiler is electronically activated at speed, to provide extra downforce at the rear and insure the car is stable at high speeds. This unique spoiler is made of carbon fiber to keep weight down to a minimum and has been tested at maximum speeds for stability and effectiveness.

PPI Brake Cooling Side Sills are another example of design and function. They provide an air channel to cool the rear brake system, at the same time provide a more aggressive flared emphasis of the cars presence on the road.

Side Door Filler Panels were created to reduce air turbulence at the lower edge of the doors, and help channel the air through the PPI side sills. The piece is available in body color or matt carbon fiber for a dramatic and sporty contrast.

Mirror Housings are available in aluminum finish or matt carbon fiber.
