OVERVIEW<\/strong>
The Audi TT Safari Concept is a one-off show car created in 2019 by Audi apprentices. Based on the third-generation Audi TT RS, the concept reimagines the compact sports coupe as a rally-inspired off-road vehicle. It was unveiled ahead of the annual GTI meeting at W\u00f6rthersee and first shown publicly at the XS Carnight event in Klagenfurt, Austria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TT Safari contrasts sharply with the TT\u2019s traditional low-slung sports car identity, instead emphasizing ground clearance, rugged detailing, and visual cues drawn from historic Audi rally and safari-style competition vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DEVELOPMENT & PROJECT BACKGROUND<\/strong>
The project was developed by a group of Audi trainees from multiple technical disciplines, including bodywork, paint, electronics, and vehicle construction. Working with support from Audi specialists, the team transformed a production TT RS into the off-road\u2013inspired concept within a short development timeframe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TT Safari formed part of Audi\u2019s tradition of apprentice-built show cars, which provide hands-on experience in design, fabrication, and cross-department collaboration while also serving as attention-grabbing exhibition vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DESIGN & INSPIRATION<\/strong>
The concept draws inspiration from Audi\u2019s rally heritage, particularly safari-style endurance rally cars of the 1980s. Its name and visual theme reference historic Audi competition vehicles built for long-distance off-road events, blending retro motorsport cues with the modern TT silhouette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The body was repainted in a distinctive motorsport-style livery featuring contrasting light and dark tones with yellow accents. The color highlights are echoed in the vehicle\u2019s lighting elements and interior detailing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EXTERIOR MODIFICATIONS<\/strong>
To achieve its off-road appearance, the TT Safari received extensive visual and functional changes. Ride height was significantly increased, and the wheel arches were widened to accommodate large off-road tires mounted on rugged wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
