Audi has spent the last few years coming up with a plan to replace the current TT, and all signs point towards electrification and a drastic change in bodystyle. The TT is set to be axed when production of its current generation ends this year, and the car will be replaced by a new SUV-inspired model with four doors.

The original TT stunned the car industry when it was first unveiled in 1998. But sales have dwindled in recent years, leaving some within Audi to suggest that the firm ought to leave that area of the market altogether.

Audi’s board member for technical development, Oliver Hoffman, has told us that the company had decided to push ahead with a change of positioning, “We want to add some very emotional cars to our portfolio, but a direct follower for the TT is not the answer,” he said. “We can’t just say we’ll do the TT in an electric way.”

Audi recently unveiled the fourth and final model in its series of design concepts, called Activesphere. Using a taller, rugged body, the Activesphere blends coupe and SUV cues with EV underpinnings, and it's likely to go on sale in the next few years to effectively replace the TT. In the meantime, we sampled Audi's stylish sports car in roadster form to remind ourselves what we'll be missing when production ends.
