Seriously. I was still at school (just) when they were released. Anyway, we passed Ingolstadt on the drive back from our summer holidays so it would've been rude not to drop in. We even saw an uncamouflaged Grandsphere on the autobahn, looking like an actual spaceship. Anyway. Pics, because everyone loves pics.

We've had two different mk1s in two different countries and even now I still think they look fab. I'd love to despoiler ours as I think they look best without, but realistically I'm never going to do it. I also think it's one of those very rare cars where the production version actually looked better than the showcar.

I've got one, though mine is "only" just over 23. It's my modern daily driver, I've run it for just over 20 years.

I remember really well when these came out. We were design students and the Bauhaus meets the limits of the CAD at the time design blew us away. That was literally what everything you designed in CAD back then looked like (due to the way it worked) and in my eyes that’s why the TT looks so iconic. Just after they came out I blew a brand new one clean out the water on the A30 sliproad on jn13 of the M25 in my Prefect. Never seen a guy look so annoyed  |

That Stanford University one is their attempt at developing an autonomous car; it put down a Lot of miles on tracks and at test facilities but never went any further that I heard of.
