    The Audi TT Is No Longer And Will Be Replaced By A Sporty EV

    Since the late 1990s, the Audi TT has been regarded by some as the benchmark sportscar, the “daddy” as some have said before. If we look at the latest-generation TT RS, many have praised it as a baby R8. Unfortunately, though, Audi has announced that the TT is going to be phased out of production by 2022.

    As per some rumours, the TT will be replaced by an all-electric sportscar (like almost everything these days) in Audi’s attempts to dethrone Tesla as the go-to brand for electric sportscars. “We want to have the strongest range of electric models amongst the premium competitors,” said Bram Schot, Audi’s chairman of the board of management. Schot stated that a new electric sportscar will be replacing it that is “emotive” and “in the same price range” as the TT.

    Although no specific reasons were given as to why the TT is being culled, it most likely boils down to a lack of sales.  In the US alone, less than 1300 units were sold. You will still have the opportunity to be one, though. Considering the TT just recently had a little refresh, Schot stated the Audi will only end production “in a few years”.

    Just as the TT’s replacement will be going electric, the future of Audi’s flagship supercar, the R8, is also unknown and is presumed to go electric as well.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
