With the first
generation of the Audi TT already
established as a design legend, Audi
Kuwait, represented by Fouad Alghanim &
Sons Automotive Company, presented the
new Audi TT in the State of Kuwait in
the form of a mobile art exhibition.
Visitors gathered at the official launch
of the new Audi TT Coupé at the Arraya
Centre to view the design exhibits
including close-up exposures, light
effects, reflections, projections,
moving graphics and sound bites centered
around the theme of “Pure Energy”. |

The exhibition will
be on display for one week in Arraya
Centre before it is moved to Al-Salhia
Complex, both of which are high-end
shopping centres in Kuwait City
frequented by the crème de la crème of
society. Irfan Tansel, General Manger of
the Fouad Alghanim & Sons Automotive
Co., commented, “Replacing an icon is
close to impossible, but with the new TT
Audi designers have achieved just that”.
The “Who's Who” of Kuwait joined the
celebration for a car whose form follows
function yet gives an impression of an
athletic sculpture. With a muscular
shoulder line, powerfully designed wheel
arches, and a domed roof with a
low-slung cabin, the design of the new
Audi TT Coupé is more striking than
ever. The rear conveys performance,
power and stability, featuring a
tailgate with a shield-shaped window,
extendable rear spoiler, wide diffuser
and twin tailpipes. The new Audi TT
Coupé’s engines stand out in
performance, more thrust and lower
consumption: the 2.0 TFSI turbocharged
engine with 200bhp and 280Nm
(1,800-5,000rpm); plus the 3.2 V6 engine
with 250bhp and 320Nm (2,500-3,000rpm).
The ultramodern engine technology is
matched by lightning-fast shifting with
a six-speed S tronic dual clutch
transmission. The aluminium body concept
(Audi Space Frame®) further optimises
weight and distribution for increased
dynamism, powerful acceleration and
lower fuel consumption. The 2+2 seater
sports car features many technical
highlights as a standard: xenon
headlights, 17”/18” alloy wheels and
Audi parking system for the rear. The
striking lines of the exterior continue
in the driver-focused interior. Fine
Nappa leather surfaces, electric sports
seats, and a three-spoke leather
multifunctional steering wheel all come
as standard and complete the sporty
package. Among the optional highlights
are the BOSE surround sound system with
noise compensation, and the Audi
magnetic ride: an adaptive damping
system that reacts in milliseconds
adjusting itself to changing driving
conditions and road conditions, and can
be set to sports mode for even greater
dynamic driving pleasure. A myriad of
combinations in technology, colours and
materials allow drivers to create their
own personalised work of art.
